@HenrySauntson @Teach_East_ @BradleyKBusch Great to be working with another fantastic group of @Teach_East_ trainees.

@Sheena2907 Looks like the back of Mr Bumps head.

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@RealCBD Also, I have seen on a few occasions, get the Headteacher’s name correct, not the name of another from a school down the road!

@Sheena2907 @MissSDoherty See, anything dairy related should always go on first. You know it makes sense.

Told my year 12 #geography class about the time I hitchhiked from #Devon to Italy with a mate to get a pizza. They didn’t believe me until I messaged him and he replied to confirm. Impressed that he replied as it was 5am in Tennessee!

@Sheena2907 @amathsmagician Is that the maths office, honestly didn’t recognise it. So tidy!

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@tombennett71 Answer to qu. a is ‘the pilot’. Some of the others are a bit harder.

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@Sheena2907 Always a joy to share the geography love, and there was the obligatory oxbow lake!

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@Sheena2907 Haha be ready, still have all my Christmas cracker jokes!

A very moving piece by @OrlaGuerin @BBCNews on education in Yemen. Thankyou

[Orla Guerin @OrlaGuerin]

Learning against all odds - As the #UK announces a 60% cut in its aid to #Yemen, meet Ahmed - the 9 year old, blind from birth, who takes the class when a teacher doesn't show. Our report from #Taiz. Huge thanks to the team @Goktay @clear_red @AhmedBaider1 @SuaadS @wburema

@lukerake @tombennett71 Did Ted show you the Grange Hill video of a new teacher? Think that was our first lecture with him! Also, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds played alongside children’s interpretations of the lyrics. He was brilliant.

@CREducATE @luciapgee @TarkaTrail Wow, that is great. I remember that day so clearly, very historic - last train. I remember your mum munching away on a bag of french beans from the garden! I have no idea why I seem to be dressed in a dinner suit - minus jacket and bow tie! Thanks for sharing. Is that Crackers?!

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@Morsecat Haha. Hope that you the chance to have a good rest too Caroline. Much deserved.

Asking staff to dig out their old games of ‘operation’ and dartboards. Tomorrow we will assess who has the steadiest hands - testing detail. Most accurate arrows - preemptive planning for if we are asked to begin vaccinations. #school #covid

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@adam_pal Brilliant. You can lead testing detail!

@shadylady222 Suzhou. Love that building. Not sure if it was defined to look like a massive pair of trousers but it does. Have a fantastic partner school there.

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@Sheena2907 I take great pride in being behind the times!

[Martin Barwise @managebehaviour]

@Sheena2907 have you been up to mathematical mischief?
