I'm mum to an 12yo, enjoy crochet and teach English but don't let that put you off...

@Stonegate_Group The alarm is going off... again... at empty Railway Inn in Billingshurst.

@HMRCcustomers Filled a return for HICB tax. Paid incorrect amount because that was the only way to not receive further fines. Trying to get it corrected... now HMRC think it's it owes me £3000.. it's laughable.

Got hung up on whilst someone went to ask for help this morning... after 57 mins on the phone. Waiting in vain right now. Maybe I'll try tomorrow. 9th call... trying to sort SA from 23-24 to pay HICB tax. Ridiculous. @HMRCcustomers

[dizzykicks @dizzykicks]

@HMRCcustomers It's a debacle, quite honestly. I'm calling again now...

@English_MrsB We also take different types of weather and develop descriptions of each. One of them will be useful in the summer exam.

[dizzykicks @dizzykicks]

@English_MrsB With writing stimulus in front of them, we generate 8-10 words before we start writing. Verbs/adverbs/adjectives but also interesting imagery/phrases. There's a great website ... and io one that let's you put in an idea, eg. Eyes and generates phrases which we play with.

January lasted eight years but now it’s March in a fortnight even though February started yesterday.

@GBNEWS 2nd paragraph: "However, the BBC presenter isn't in trouble for any of his posts on social media - with a cold robbing him of his voice instead."

@premnsikka Yet I'm losing sleep because I can't register for self assessment to pay a tax on child benefit that I might owe.

@MissShakesparke Do they know the various perspectives they can discuss? Political, economical, social? I saw this somewhere once. I personally use this as sentence stems as well...

🌟Creative writing: sentence models🌟

Resources in the 🧵

I've been doing lots of sentence work. Last term, I tried to write with students every lesson, just trying to build writing muscles and expose them to lots of models
Inspired by @ChrisYoules His book is fab!

A Thread on Handwriting…
Over the past 2 years, I have paid more attention to the way handwriting is taught than at any other point in my career. Handwriting seemed a fairly simple thing that pupils would just pick up with a few lessons on letter formation. I was wrong! Here are some things I think about now that I didn’t always consider before…

@MartinSLewis Is that 50k before tax?

[Mary H-P @Lit_liverbird]

Too 4 dystopian short stories for Y9 please. My choice is ‘The Lottery’ by Shirley Jackson. Stories by wider range of voices particularly welcome. Thank you
