Yes to ‘gorm’ was to take heed, so technically you could be gormful as well as gormless.

@ffarry1 @EdCentreDonegal @OideTechinEd I did that course in Cork this week. So enjoyable playing with the Lego but it's tricky enough at times!

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Etymology of the day is ‘tawdry’, meaning cheap, sordid, or in poor taste. It began as ‘St Audrey’s lace’: ribbons worn as necklaces to honour a 7th-century saint of Ely. Thanks to their often shoddy quality, ‘tawdry laces’ became linked to cheap or disreputable behaviour.

Don't think I have enough followers for this but: If you could recommend one chapter book/series to read aloud to a six year old what would it be?

[The Irish For @theirishfor]

Ohmigod imagine there was a Luas, a Suas (the L) and an Anuas (underground)!?!?

[Lyn Stone @lifelonglit]

Excellent illustration of the misconception of sight words and what this means in terms of teacher/system knowledge and skill.
Reading Recovery apologists have recently resurrected protests to my RR blog, and I will direct them to this in reply.

An important day for the redevelopment of the Primary School Curriculum in Ireland

There's a lot to it, so here's a thread on some of the major proposed changes

Please share your views with @NCCAie here https://t.co/baKgkzc6Un

[Angela Dunne @angeladunne81]

This should be shared widely and understood by all for the systemic failure it is. Schools cannot do more with less. Pupils are entitled to an equitable education.

[Mark Conroy @markconroy]

I reckon @theirishfor would have liked round 5 of our table quiz last Friday night!

Translate the band names.

Strong security????

[David Murphy @davidmurphyRTE]

Minister for Education Norma Foley has said that school psychologists have been deployed to Parnell Square school "to offer every support." 

She said there is strong security at schools but added "we have not seen this before - it is an enormous tragedy."
