It’s World Book Day and today’s costume is themed to one of my new favourites about celebrating what makes us unique. It links brilliantly with our school values and the children love it ❤️ @Emmett_Cath

When Luna joins in on school photo day. Who knew she could pose so well? I’ve got 3 to choose from and love them all.

@thatteacherguy_ We’ve been running a free breakfast club for years, about 80 children in the school hall. That’s about a third of our children, open to everyone and runs well. We’ve never had to limit numbers as yet, not everyone needs it, but it’s vital for some.

@Headteacherchat They go home if they want to, all staff know that we can’t always protect their time slot. If an emergency was to come up we might have to move it to a different day, but that never really happens. If they want to work from home, they can.

@MrBoothY6 It’s brilliant and some of the best CPD I’ve ever had, simple things that make a huge difference.

A great day of poetry writing and performing, the children were brilliant - so confident and creative. Wonderful to see so many parents, carers and families creating poetry and having fun together after school.

Exciting trip up to Durham to work with West Cornforth Primary School today. All classes from Reception up to Year 6 participated in my workshops- we even did an extra workshop after school for parents! Beautiful day!

@MrHtheteacher @PrimaryCoHead We can only see who has named our school as a choice, not if we’re 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice.

[Kathryn Cost 🌈🦩🌈 @kcost]

@Headteacherchat Not in our school, but if it works for you - why not? Totally up to the individual school.

@DeputyGrocott We’ve got the Upright Shark anti-hair wrap Pet Pro, we had to buy it when we got the dog because the Dyson we had was permanently clogged by her hairs. It works brilliantly for us and was much cheaper than the Dyson.

@Jenny_1884 Staff or disabled patients, yes, but not for everyone unless the size of the car parks was increased significantly. It's impossible to find a space in our hospital carparks which is really difficult for those with mobility issues.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@TPScheme I did this, was on hold for ages and they were unable to help.
