I cannot say this enough. Schools cannot hold up the whole world. Housing, jobs, dentistry, doctors: we need other policy areas to work if there’s any chance at improving children’s lives.

As Toddler helps his mom take bottles out of the van as she’s done previously...

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

This is the reason I love children 😂

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

Her parents bought her boots to keep her feet from getting wet, but she fills them with water. 😂

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

@StuartLock Very powerful piece. I’ve definitely been guilty of being ‘solution focused’ whereby the solution is a short term management of a child’s behaviour. We are all so time poor it’s often hard to step back and think about the long term impact!

@MrsRieB North London school goer here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I can confirm that we sang the song at school and my family still regularly break into it now 😂

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

@MrsSpalding @AViewaskew Would love to hear more people talk about this and give practical/logistical tips!

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

We take behaviour seriously, believe in visible leadership, sky-high expectations for EVERYONE and mean it, and taking workload very seriously.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

My all-time favorite Venn diagram 😆

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

@OliverRMills Yes. I don’t know how to quantify it but I have seen many that are and many that just aren’t. I think for EY it usually comes down to the way adults talk to the children and perhaps that’s due to prior experience of knowing/socialising with children?

[Mr C Year 6 @TeachingChap]

I don’t know where I’d be without my TAs. There aren’t enough characters to list the ways they daily help me and the children in my phase. Real life super heroes.

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

Hmm… a chair. I’ve seen one of these. How hard could it be?

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

@CleodeJong I worked at a school that did this for a while. It was great for everyone besides EYFS who had a different lunch time to everyone else meaning music blasting through the classroom during Maths! 😂

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

@MrP33333 At 3:25pm usually!

[Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley]

Excellent piece from @WritingRocks_17 about the evidence around early writing. ⬇️

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

Wish I could scream this from the rooftops!

[SEMH Outreach Teacher @SemhOutreach]

Children rely upon regulated adults to feel secure. Dysregulated children need regulated adults in order to regulate. Exhausted, overworked, underpaid, sometimes under-appreciated and under-supported adults are often not very regulated. Therein lies the problem.

My annual scrooge observation: data shows that school attendance among the poorest pupils dramatically drops on #WorldBookDay

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

@simonharris_mbd Every week my dad would take me and my sister food shopping. The first stop was always the grapes, we’d pick up a bag and eat them throughout the shop and then he’d scan the empty punnet at the end. It was a great parenting strategy 😅

[Jess @MissEYFS_]

Wish I could retweet this more than once! I don’t know what the solution is but only being able to get help after failure (and even then it’s a maybe) is a terrible system. 🤯

@thepetitioner @ElklanTraining 👏🏻👏🏻

Did you know.. if children learn 8 nursery rhymes by heart by the time they are 4, they are likely to have better reading and writing. Nursery rhymes are great at encouraging good reading and writing in young children
