If you’re saying that there’s a biscuit above a Malted Milk, you need to have a word with yourself.

@secretHT1 @Mr_K_Teacher We did this too- only £1 a bunch in most places so much easier on the pocket than Lilies!

@DanSmithAuthor And for the children- we have lots who don’t like to wear costumes but don’t want to feel left out and others who can’t afford/ don’t have parents with the skills to make costumes. We’ve also had old costumes donated and parents have taken for free #WorldBookDay

@DanSmithAuthor We’ve gone for the theme of ‘Anything Goes’ so pj’s, football kits, school uniform, odd socks, book character... and we’re exploring books that celebrate inclusion and diversity- get to enjoy amazing books, have positive conversations and less stress for parents!

@baronbedford Loved our last session with Alex Bedford back last summer and it’s made a huge impact on how we’ve tweaked our curriculum and teaching and learning. Another great session today with lots to think about! #curriculum #cognativeload

I had a fab day at Westfield school today. Lots of awesome young readers and writers. Also, I have learned that Tick-Tock is a really big thing for some kids. Like, REALLY BIG.

Truly overwhelmed by the kindness and support since my #bbcqt trauma live you lot! After 30 years of trying to articulate a coherent argument for the left I now find that a meme of my cringing face is infinitely more powerful than my words! Let's all do it - #facesagainstracism

[Whitefield Primary @WhitefieldPS]

Our new sensory corridor has been so popular over the last few days. Thanks @MrsTracyDickens from the @ADHDFoundation for prompting us to think how to make this a brilliant positive calming space.

@lauralaura27 @chrisdysonHT @_Reading_Rocks_ @sarahVroberts @mossmontmomery @PHoracek We’re in Workington so the other end of the county but might be worth seeing if something could be worked out for the same time- thanks

Looking for an author/ illustrator to come and visit our wonderful EYFS class. All other year groups covered but this is a tough one... so many books we love but so few willing to travel to the lovely north west of Cumbria! @chrisdysonHT @_Reading_Rocks_

@WhitefieldPS @Littlelambtales @_Reading_Rocks_ @chrisdysonHT @JudeLennonBooks Great suggestion @_Reading_Rocks_ @WhitefieldPS thanks @JudeLennonBooks I’ll be in touch today

@michaeldoron @kenradical We’ve tracked an ‘Empire’ thread through school, right from Yr1- Yr6 so that children explore the notion repeatedly so when it comes to Victorians and WW2 they have a good grounding of what other ‘Empires’ were like and can enter into a more informed debate
