First tweet in ages. Inspired to share 3 highlights from the week: 1. Getting a pile of books recommended for me by Y6 and 8s; 2. A winning apple crumble made by the 8s; 3. Blowing off steam at rugby training.

The first time I've seen this in such an easy to take in format. Most of the underlying issues I had not learnt before.

@mrfitzhist Also, thanks for inspiring many of my English resources this year!

@mrfitzhist Apologies if you've heard this before but it was new to me. Our Y8's read 'The Wave' by Morton Rhue - a novel that parallels Hitler's rise to power set in a high school. A great read and gives a relatable insight into the movement.

Women make up the majority of the people responding to #COVID19, but the voices we hear from the front line are often male.

We need more women reporters, storytellers and leaders in the media industry. #UNGA

HELP! Trying to find novels for Y7 related to myths and legends authored by people of colour or featuring a person of colour as the protagonist. Done a lot of looking but as yet unsuccessful. #readingrocks #edutwitter #teamenglish

Our first 'teacher pupil reunion night'. Our Year 7 pupils meet their old Year 6 teachers to show work, catch up and eat cake. Lovely atmosphere. @nuneatonacademy @MidlandAT

@ITeachBoys92 @ICanTeach_uk @FunkyPedagogy @heymrshallahan @mrfitzhist @SPBeale @KKNTeachLearn Thank you very much for the suggestions. Can't wait to try some of their ideas out!

[Mr Slaughter's Notes @MrASlaughter]

Hi @ITeachBoys92. @ICanTeach_uk put me onto your stuff and it's been brilliant! I'm adapting stuff for English and need to post the results. Do you know anyone else who posts English ideas like your science ones? Thanks for all your ideas.
