@virginmedia I have done. They said the problem is directly caused outside our house. They can’t fix it for 5 working days - that’s loss of earning for 5 days for something caused by you?

Hi @virginmedia you’re installing broadband outside my house (i.e. digging up the road), which means my own broadband with @SkyHelpTeam now isn’t working 🙄 what can we do please?

@miss_livm @DeputyGrocott Mallorca - we booked it very last minute two weeks ago!

[Emily @Em_Teaching]

@primaryteachew @goustocooking Just used, thank you! Have also gone for the same gnocchi dish as you for next week 😋

[Emily @Em_Teaching]

@primaryteachew Newmarket! Used to play it with chocolate buttons as the bet 😋

@primaryteachew Spending the day trying to process that this happened over the weekend 💍

@brassoteach Mine have an obsession with singing the ‘Dumb ways to die’ theme tune or ‘It’s corn!’ 🙄🙄🙄

@Natty08 @Mr_P_Hillips I’d be really interested in this too! Trying to convince my school that whole class texts are the way to go, not short extracts where they don’t understand the plot/characters well enough.

[Emily @Em_Teaching]

@MissClarkeY2 Yeah definitely finding the right school! Saying ‘no’ doesn’t reduce the endless tasks and I feel like if I left earlier for childcare etc then I’d be more stressed about everything 😅

[Emily @Em_Teaching]

@guruteaching Definitely poor implementation. AR had a huge impact in one of my previous schools and I miss it. They should be able to read within their ZPD - her level will definitely increase on retesting each half term. We encouraged chn to read one AR and one for pleasure to get a mix too.

@DeputyGrocott Cooking! Would teach them to make their own lunch to share together and something sweet to take home 👩🏼‍🍳 (although I realise some aspects of cooking are on the curriculum…)

So this week, inclusive LGBTQ+ fairytale picture book The Woodcutter and The Snow Prince by @MrEagletonIan. Sadly, it has incurred homophobic abuse - in unwavering support of LGBTQ+ authors everywhere I'd like to give away a class set of 30. RT to win + spread this beautiful book

[Emily @Em_Teaching]

@MissClarkeY2 Pretty similar and my parents still like to ‘advise’ me when they’re in the car 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Katy_primary97 Love the dog, but also that quote in the frame is AMAZING 😂 where did you get it from?

[Emily @Em_Teaching]

@MsLPrimary Probably controversial, but I didn’t like the SW plan so followed calorie counting but still paid to get publicly weighed at SW because I needed the shame. Obviously didn’t tell anyone I wasn’t following their plan…!

Does anyone have any great ideas for helping children with rounding independently if they’re really struggling? I have 2 or 3 children working below Year 4 expected and are finding it very difficult unless guided 1:1 with an adult which isn’t always possible.
