Book number 10 of 2023... spotted this in my local library and had to give it a go! A great story with a fantastic, unexpected twist at the end! @cjtudor is a new author on my "must read" list 😊

Start of term is a great time to get your mini whiteboard routines sorted. I've been training all my classes on how we use them in my classroom. Will reap the rewards as we go through the year 👍🏻

Great opportunity for a Teacher of Science to come and join my fabulous team and the simply wonderful school that is Severn Vale.

Book number 9 of 2023... decided to go back to one of my favourite authors @PhilippaGBooks and read a book that's been on the bookshelf for quite some time! Loved indulging my inner history geek with this story of a strong woman who knew she was destined for more ❤️

@scshoots @katielockett @HoDSciSci 😂😂😂
I use the previous years email as my template and just update the links, they literally get a list...handbook here, curriculum play here...I send enough novels through the year so like to keep this one simple 😂😂😂

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

Head of Department? Subject Leader? Here's a start of term top tip that my team have told me they really appreciate...send one email with all the useful links your team might need! Data trackers, curriculum plan, department handbook etc all in one place 👍🏻 @HoDSciSci

@MrARobbins That would be me - I have strategic oversight of everything and I lead Chem.

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

@MrARobbins Should say - 11-16 with 11 science teachers (6 PT, 1 SLT, 4 FT)

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

@MrARobbins Bit of a mixture...2ic who also leads Phys, KS4 Intervention/Progress who also leads Bio, KS3 Intervention/Progress

@Miss_Crofts I like FIFA, it's really clear and students remember it. If you're looking at this across ALL maths skills, so speak to your maths department and try to align the language used when teaching maths skills. Also talk to your team about embedding maths skills throughout science.

Book number 8 of 2023! Borrowed this from my local library 👍🏻 absolutely loved it! Very much the genre I enjoy 😊 kept me gripped throughout! Highly recommend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @callytaylor

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

@STEMyBanda I agree. And also think we should have one paper for all students, no H or F tier.

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

A great blog from @Jobaker9 on learning student names. Knowing and using students names is the foundation of great relationships in our classrooms. It's their identity and shows that we care and that they matter to us.

[Jo Baker @Jobaker9]

How I learn a class of names in 5 mins. I wrote this a few years ago, but have used this popular method for over 20 years.

@baparisauthor Wow, thank you for replying! It really was excellent!

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

@lisajewelluk Wow, thank you for replying! I've loved every one of your books that I've read since picking up The Making of Us in 2014!

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

Book number 7...I am loving the time I have to read during the holidays! Another excellent one from @lisajewelluk so many twists and turns, kept me enthralled and unable to put this down! Another book finished in 3 days!!!

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

@MrsSpalding Completely agree! Have always worked full time, I love my job and believe I'm setting an important example for my two girls.

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

@klprescott @baparisauthor I really couldn't put this one down! Was also a good change after The Handmaid's Tale and Where The Crawdads Sing 👍🏻

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

Book number 6...read this in 3 days!! Gripping and just as good as Behind Closed Doors. B.A. Paris knows how to keep her readers on edge! @baparisauthor

[Kerry Madrick @misstait_85]

Book number 5...took a little while to get into this but from about a third through I just couldn't put it down! Heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time ❤️
