“You will always be a part of this university where ever you are” what a great online lecture from the lovely @Sarah__wright1 this morning! Can’t thank the tutors enough for everything you’re doing to make our transition to online study as smooth as possible! ❤️

@MrTs_NQTs I was told that schools review pay in September so even though I was a second year in January I couldn’t have it reviewed then so I’d be interested to see if it gets backdated to January!

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

Any advice for how moving up the pay scales work? I’ve been a second year since January and am still being paid M1- does this tend to not move until October time and then get back paid? @MrTs_NQTs

The big O on the first day back 🥲🥲🥲

I’m told that the report has been taken down from @Ofstednews website.

Any attempt to rewrite history will not go unchallenged.

People need to be held to account for this.

The Ruth Perry story is an absolute tragedy and just shows the deep rooted negative impact of scrutinising teachers. It is not spoken about enough how a huge chunk of the mental health crisis in education is due to Ofsted.

@missowens_k @MrTs_NQTs I had to teach myself cursive also- one way that helps is to practice the pre cursive and see how each letter has their joining flick on their own and then putting them together will just come with practice xx

Every year when edge hill has their welcome Sunday it makes me so emotional! Would go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat the best years of my life ❤️

A brilliant morning building on my knowledge of teaching English with @LiteracyCounts1 📝✨ I have used this scheme for almost a year now across 2 schools and it’s so useful to gain a new insight from colleagues!

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

Overwhelmed by the support from my last tweet about educating EAL pupils- Twitter is such a fantastic community for educators ❤️

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

@soofia_amin @mrlev @PhoenixEdSarah @MrTs_NQTs Yes I’m quite lucky as I’ve got two in my class who are from the same place so that should be a great support for them!

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

New child starting tomorrow as one of my year 5s that can’t speak English- my only experience with EAL has been with kids who could speak fluent English so this is a new one 🤗 any tips or ideas to get them settled in? @MrTs_NQTs

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

@follower_hannah @gfreeman2012 @morvale83 @MrTs_NQTs I think, regardless of who’s responsibility it is deemed to be, it lies in my jurisdiction to provide a comfortable and accessible learning environment as the class teacher which is what I’m aiming to do :)

@ruthsinhal @MrTs_NQTs @BellFoundation @EALDominicB I think it could potentially be Portuguese after researching the country they’re from but I’m not 100% yet.

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

@MissNQT5 Can’t believe how quickly it’s come around! Xx

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

Is it just me who could sleep for a week after the first day back?! 🤣 Got the most gorgeous class this year over the moon 🫶🏻✨

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

@MrHulse_ECTY1 Good luck Luke! We’ve got this 💪🏻✨

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

The back to school nervies are kicking in 🥲 is it possible for 6 weeks off to strip you of all your teaching abilities? 🤣

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

Is it still summer? Yes. Was I in Hobbycraft shopping for Christmas decor for my classroom? Yes.

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

Was planning on heading into my new school this week to sort displays and I’ve just found out all the display materials have been made for me already by the TAs! The support is remarkable 🥹

[Holly Bell @missbellped]

@MissMcEwan123 @MrTs_NQTs I’d recommend having your own stash of whiteboard pens and glue sticks as many schools often run short on these 🤣
