@ShakinthatChalk This is Early Years in a nut shell. So much excellent practice that allows children to explore and discover!

[Helen Clarke @helentyrrell]

Wow! Just have to say a huge thank you to the amazing team at @manairport - we needed some help and couldn’t have asked for better support. Thank you so so much! ✈️

[Helen Clarke @helentyrrell]

Hello @manairport my husband travelled from Manchester Terminal 3 to Mallorca last night and has accidentally left some incredibly important medical devices at the airport security check. We urgently need to get it back- he is type 1 diabetic and has to have insulin. Please help!

Hi @AsdaServiceTeam I have tried to contact you about a racist incident which I witnessed in one of your Go Local stores. I called the contact centre and they just told me to ring the store - I don’t want to report what I saw to the person who did it. Please can you advise?

So proud to be leading this & championing early maths #earlymaths #eyfs

[Tameside Correspondent @TamesideCorr]

A Denton primary school is leading an idea that helps children learn maths through storybooks.

Story Time Maths is being piloted at Dane Bank Primary School, on Thornley Lane South @DaneBankPS https://t.co/ofmlNakK6y

@WL_Hospice My lovely Nanna has raised £400 so far to be split between you and DIAS and is only half way there! She is super proud! https://t.co/LvvrKoZ2Up

We are so proud to be referenced in this blog written by @JoAshcroftEd. We continue to work so hard on our curriculum development at Dane Bank and are determined to make it the best it can be for our wonderful pupils.

@WhistleblowingT Husband uses his to monitor blood sugar levels. Alternative would be his phone as it is app based CGM. Seems like micro management

“We set out the facts”. Except they aren’t facts because the pay increase is NOT fully funded. Perhaps there is a notional amount knocking around somewhere which adds up, but in schools budgets there isn’t a 4% surplus. Which means any pay rise comes at a cost to the children.

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

Further teacher strike dates have been announced. We set out the facts of the teacher pay offer and how it was fully funded. Read everything you need to know:

A really interesting read and although anecdotal, definitely anecdotes which we are also seeing in school. George was born 4/1/21 and has never seen a HV outside of hospital. These children have been overlooked & we need to do more to support their development #shapingus

[Julian Grenier CBE @juliangrenier]

I'm worried about what I'm seeing in the early years: we should all be worried about growing educational inequality

[Helen Clarke @helentyrrell]

@LTeacher123 Funding is allocated per pupil. The school then chooses how to spend this with number 1 expense usually staffing. If a teacher isn’t paid then this money remains in the schools budget for them to spend elsewhere.

Amazing maths talk in Nursery. Loving our work with @NCETM and finding maths in the stories that the children are reading @EducEndowFoundn

[Dane Bank Primary School @DaneBankPS]

This morning Nursery have been using cubes to measure their own feet and the giants feet from Jack in the beanstalk. We used the cubes to help us decide who had bigger feet! #earlymaths

@LaurenMedlicott @hannahfearn I’d be happy to talk. Our nursery fees have just been increased by £10/day. 3 weeks notice. I have 2 children of nursery age. Fees are crippling us!

[Helen Clarke @helentyrrell]

@Jasmyn_K_Hall @MichaelT1979 @Mr_AlmondED This is what I meant but didn’t know the name of it - I also got the idea from SALT!

@MichaelT1979 Leg log dig dog lag etc (with visuals to help)
You say them and they find the appropriate one, then role reversal. Lots of repetition.
