MrsMcK-Year6

Year 5 class teacher. I am a huge believer in reading for pleasure and cannot wait to discuss books with the next class.

@MrBoothY6 In my year 6 class, we are reading Windrush Child for our English text, it's the quietest part of the day when I am reading that aloud. Just read the prologue and authors notes first.

@PrimaryCoHead I have 6 weeks to go 😔 😟

@teachwellall Weekly book looks!

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@AdeleBatesZ Lots of negative behaviour with arguing back. Definitely has ramped up this year. Slt supportive but was a bit of a shock to me.

@DeputyGrocott Teaching is a rollercoaster, sometimes your cruising, sometimes it's outstanding and sometimes it drags you along the floor behind it. So far, I wouldn't change it haha

@MrsBaker6 @The_UKLA I might be interested in my local area. Can you please DM me with more information? Thank you

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@robin2reader Good luck, you can do this!

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@The_UKLA conference, fantastic book awards winners announced last night, and it's great to catch up with @robin2reader @alastair_daniel @ArgleNet

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@_borntosparkle @jonnybid Great book!

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@MissMorg05 @MrTs_NQTs I would do - recap grammar and short activity, then input with poem, model task, then circulate while the children work. Don't forget how you scaffold it up and down. You've got this!

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@MissMorg05 @MrTs_NQTs I did mine a few years back with a year 5 class. I looked at what had already been covered and picked a grammar focus, then you can go in with a level that they understand. Then I chose a poem to focus on with the grammar focus in it. Try and chunk it into 10 min sections.

@farmgirlwriter @NosyCrow This would be a great way to start the new school year and in my school this could help 2 classes because we do 1 between 2 for reading. What a way to get a buzz going about a book if 2 classes are reading it at the same time 😀

@_borntosparkle I was running a bath last night for 5 minutes, getting really annoyed because the bath wasn't filling up. Then I realised I hadn't put the plug in! There may have been a few choice words 🥱🙈

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@nombreneeded @_MissieBee I felt like this was completely unfair. The multi steps that a child would need to know to complete this are too many. It's worded in a way that's meant to trip them up. What an unfair question!

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

@alastair_daniel Hi Alistair, I did not realise you do school visits. I would love to try and get you to visit mine if possible? Tammy

[MrsMcK-Year6 @MissJ_ITT]

Looks like a great day #NEUPrimaryLiteracy
