@StStephensLancs What make is it! Soooo professional.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...

1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV

Increasingly noting that prosody is being overshadowed in the fluency conversation with a blinkered focus on accuracy & automaticity. These are crucial elements but if prosody isn't a focus, then too many chn end up as expert decoders, not real readers.

The 'behaviour crisis'

I too have seen a post COVID deterioration in behaviour in schools (particularly secondary).

I only hope one day that children I’ve taught would say this about me. Why else are we doing this job, if not for them? 🖤✨
