A4: drama can be incorporated into anything. It’s how we create scripts, understand concepts and develop connections. There isn’t a subject I haven’t used drama in. There’s even drama in the staff room sometimes when the printer goes! #primaryrocks

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

@chrisdysonHT @PrimaryRocks1 Agreed. Maybe telling the time but it’s a dying art now!

@Mroberts90Matt @PrimaryRocks1 @gazneedle Those chocolate wafer rolls 🤤

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

A1: moving to a new classroom! Spent 2 weeks transforming it and it’s beautiful. Calm, inviting and supportive. Love love love it! #primaryrocks

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

Crisps… followed by chocolate 🤔#primaryrocks

Not good news for #Southampton patients or for the GP Federation which uses the practice as the main hub. Please don't make St Peters Surgery close!

A3: use specific labels on all documents (not Thursday or Lesson 5 etc), prepare your day all in one go either early morning or day before depending on printer availability, talk to your office, site and cleaning staff - they know everything! #PrimaryRocks

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

Arthur and the golden Rope, firework makers daughter, Marcy and the riddle of the Sphinx, Secrets of a Sun King, Kensuke’s Kingdom, Varjak Paw. All linked to further curriculum #PrimaryRocks

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

HEAVEN HELP US - @UKLabour has now tried to justify why it won’t support the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones - so will effectively be supporting the Government in stripping back our right to protest & allowing it to use an unprecedented abuse of power to get away with it!

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

Carly says 'St Patrick’s in Southampton stand with all other education staff to ask for our pay to be funded fully and not taken from existing school budgets which will only negatively impact the children we teach.'

We are the NEU and we will #SaveOurSchools

[stilltrying @mustgetfit2022]

Primary Schools. How many hours P.E per class does your curriculum have in a week?

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

The latest teachers strike in England is today. 3 mins on what's happened to teachers' pay since 2012. The average teachers' salary has reduced in real terms - and more so than some other professions. Produced by Michael Cox, Rob England, Robert Cuffe. https://t.co/Kg3nSo3agh

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

#SaveOurSchools teachers across England strike again in support of a 🚨fully funded🚨 pay offer. We don’t want to cut budgets AGAIN. We don’t want to be outside the school asking for fair pay, we want to be inside doing our jobs but we are consistently underfunded. #PayUp

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

A4: everything we’re not paid to do. We’ve done a lot of our extra stressors to ourselves by taking on too much because we care for our children and their education. We need to stop as it’s broken our profession and we need to stand up for ourselves. #PrimaryRocks

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

A3: everything I can get my hands on! Every day is a school day and every time I teach something I tweak with new understanding and better ideas stolen from everywhere! Thanks Edutwitter! #PrimaryRocks

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

@PrimaryRocks1 Work on 2 words a day roughly. With a common theme - currently suffixes (-ssion)

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

We use No Nonsense spelling with extra lessons on etymology to link with languages to help with understanding. #PrimaryRocks

[Carly Walker @carlywalker]

@PrimaryRocks1 15 mins every day. Done in conjunction with handwriting. I’m trying to move away from handwriting books with the extra red lines to normal lined a5 books because that’s what my children write in!
