@Mr_Keyte Massive congratulations, David. Really pleased for you. The very best of luck, but I’m sure you will be a massive success.

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

@educationgovuk That’s great to hear, but how many teachers left the profession during the same period?

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

@TeacherTapp Hi @TeacherTapp didn’t get the 3.30 notification today. Thanks for all you do though.

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

@TeacherTapp I planned to become a primary school teacher but failed my A levels and joined the world of builders merchanting instead. 23 years later, I went to @uniofbrighton part-time and worked full-time - as a TA - for 4 years. After that, I completed my SCITT with @ssfSCITT #ResultsDay

Completely September ready.
Now to switch off and fully enjoy the summer.

Nearly 18 months in the making, I’m proud beyond words of my little Eco Council and the wider school community for achieving our @EcoSchools Green Flag award with distinction. I actually sobbed when I received the news 💚

@mrsdavies72 @Teacherglitter @_Reading_Rocks_ @jonnybid You must read The Dog that saved Christmas by your namesake @nicolakidsbooks It’s heartwarming, beautiful and an easy read. The main character is autistic, so will resonate with many children too. My class have adored it each year.

Hi @Shine_Education this was the concept I mentioned yesterday - Ikigai.

This video explains a little more:

I’m so teacher tired that I completely missed hitting my 1000 day streak on @TeacherTapp

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

We then watched this beautiful video https://t.co/Ra4iHuaIEJ from @_AmazingThings and had a wonderful discussion about Jake, the main character, autism, understanding and acceptance and always being kind.

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

Finished reading this truly wonderful book by @nicolakidsbooks with my class, for the second year running, today.

Some of them cheered when they found out the ending, others shed a few tears.

I still get taken aback by the power of reading.

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

@MissM_QT Oh, and we also do Battle of the Bands as a year group. My class loves celebrating leaderboards. It's made them become a closer-knit team.

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

@MissM_QT We have a weekly school-wide competition. In each year group the class with the most no. of completed mins (out of the sessions set) has an inflatable musical instrument for a week to display, and get to go out to break first. If everyone in the class completes = extra break time

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

Therefore to support them we should offer the correction with sound buttons written underneath ie bruise . . _ . . Has anyone found an online list/generator that will help me do this. Thanks! #edutwitter #primaryrocks

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

Interesting point raised in today’s CPD. Some children spell some words wrong in KS2 because they are trying to spell them phonetically ie brooz instead of bruise.

[Daniel Burge @danielburge]

@GillianKeegan It’s quite simple, Gillian. Fund schools sufficiently, whilst paying teachers appropriately, and there would be no need for strikes from anyone @NEUnion
