We made a town today and then took pictures from above to introduce our new building topic and start to think about maps 🏘

A little ✨ Blind Date With A Book ✨gift that I’ve set up during my maternity leave. Had to give myself an excuse to buy more books and be a bit creative!

@sjtaylor107 I fancied a curriculum that’s a bit more aligned with my values. Also the city is my favourite 🫶 Mountains, beaches and city life combined. Thank you x

[Bethan Smith @missbsmithh]

@CoidMiss I adore the Nevermoor series!! This looks so inspiring and exciting x

[Bethan Smith @missbsmithh]

@sjtaylor107 I’ve moved from my first school where I completed my NQT year and taught for 3 years to a new school in Edinburgh! Don’t worry, I haven’t left teaching 🥰 x

@SheffSantiago @MissS_Kimble It says in the guidance any text on the walls so our classrooms are pretty stripped just in case.

Look, *more* “Extensive qualitative research has highlighted the barriers faced by ethnic minority teachers in entering, staying in and progressing within the profession.”

What are your/organisations actions from this?

@NoonanMiss Totally depends on what will make you feel comfortable! In my NQT year went in as soon as I could to see the classroom and think about the space, it spent 2-3 days just sorting the physical classroom. It depends if the previous teacher has left their displays and working walls x

One of my lovely Year 2 children made me this pencil pot using a pottery wheel at the weekend! It’s already made my week 🥰

Ready to introduce Y5 to my favourite time of year from Monday 🥰❤️ #Ramadan

[Bethan Smith @missbsmithh]

@MrHteaching1916 In that case I’d recommend the deliciously Ella app which is 99p a month or something crazy and has incredible recipes that are all whole foods and really tasty. I’m vegan and love her recipes. Hope that helps ☺️ The BOSH books are fab too if you want more hearty classics

A random Friday gift from a friend at school that turned into the magical focus of our day in KS1 🌈 They had all sorts of questions about this rose!
