@MrEYFS I’ve noticed that new parents - even the nicest of people - can get very self-righteous about being parents. It gets on my nerves too! Add that to the parent friends who incessantly enquire as to whether or not you’re having your own any time soon. Inappropriate! 🙄😅
This weekend’s craft: flatpack MDF postbox assembled and painted, complete with chalkboard paint on the front. I was looking for more ways to encourage writing in my classroom; let’s see if this does the trick! ✉️ @EYTagteam#EYtwittertagteam#EYFS#EYshare#edutwitter
@amandarussell35@deputygrocott Derry girl, myself! It's really interesting, I think, and pretty typical that two 'sides' of any community who want to distinguish themselves on some level from the other would adopt a different speech pattern. But as we both said, just a generalisation. Nice to connect with you!
@deputygrocott Obviously, that is not a hard and fast rule but just an observation. It makes sense to a degree as those who grew up in Protestant families tend to assimilate more to English culture. 2/2
@deputygrocott Haitch. From Northern Ireland but live in England! I always observed growing up that the two 'sides' of the community said it differently. Those who grew up in Catholic families tended to say 'haitch' whereas those who grew up in Protestant families said 'aitch'. 1/2
@LyndseyJF@MrsAEYFS So much fun! I left the recipe cards for them and was just keeping one eye from a distance to see what they were up to. They added SO. MUCH. WATER. 😂
I had a feeling I would end up tweeting you this, @MrsAEYFS... it must have taken a half hour for both my TA and I to clean. 😅 #KeepItReal#EYShare#EYTagTeam
Happy St Paddy’s Day to my fellow Irish and to those who are celebrating with us today. Thinking of the town, country, and people that I love so well and miss so deeply. ☘️ Now to put on the brightest green trousers I own and play trad music all day! #edutwitter@EYTagteam
