Yesterday in school we had a session called vertical grouping. The whole school is split up snd sent to the different subject leaders, so I had 30ish children from across the school. I've then got them for 40mins and can use the time to pupil conference, look at books, 1/3

@welshbuildings Love it! Makes me think of Narnia and fairytales in the snow... or alternatively gothic supernatural fiction. :)

This morning my 3-year old wanted to play a game where I write the name of an animal and he draws it. I'm sharing my favourite ones here.

Up first: parrot

Last weeks Ancient Egyptian project was a lot of fun, so I thought I’d share an old trick of mine for making a simple Pharaoh from one piece of card. 👍 https://t.co/28aN3vN8fg

@sjg1703 True. If anything they should get you to observe teachers new to teaching and give feedback.

Neerja Bhanot was a 22-year-old flight attendant working on Pan Am Flight 73 when it was hijacked by terrorists during a layover in 1986.

Soon after taking control, the terrorists killed an Indian-American traveler and discarded his body outside the plane.

They ordered Bhanot to gather the passengers' passports to single out Americans.

However, she concealed the identities of the 43 Americans on the flight by stashing their passports under seats and discarding others.

After a tense 17-hour standoff, the hijackers began shooting and setting off explosives.

Bhanot bravely opened the plane's doors, and rather than escaping herself, she helped passengers evacuate.

Tragically, she lost her life while shielding three American children from gunfire.

One of the kids she safeguarded grew up to become an airline captain, crediting Bhanot as his inspiration.

Is there much of general edutwitter left? The bit where it’s not about promoting books, schools, CPD or products? The bit where conversations bubbled up naturally?

@BadSchoolparent @Katy_primary97 Best advice ever.

@matildewarden That is crazy! Now I'm not surprised that most jobs in the north east were not advertised on tes but other sites like the .gov one and teachvac...

Love the visuals too.

Arabic is one of the most romantic languages. It has at least 11 words for love and each of them conveys a different stage in the process of falling in love.

A thread on expressions of love in Arabic…

Also want to give effective feedback for students and this is the best way.

Because one day, eventually when i return to teaching and my boys are at school themselves. I still would like to have time to spend with my children and not worry about spending hours marking just one class of sketchbooks or projects.

How to “mark” 28 books in 27 minutes.

1. Read them all.
2. Make notes (www, ebi, common grammar & spelling errors) as you go.
3. Type notes up on ppt slide & focus DIRT tasks on areas that need improvement.

Done.

@JENNIFE55690269 The laundry looks so extra-ordinarily beautiful. Brilliant shapes and brush strokes too. Just wonderful.
