So true...

@_MissieBee We bought my son tickets to see a Paw Patrol live show for his 4th birthday, rather than more "stuff". He loved it!

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.

@WalkerBooksUK could someone please get in touch with me to discuss our year 4s, who are writing a sequel to Frindleswylde (Literacy Tree planning)? They've decided they need a real audience for their sequel narratives - which is you! TIA! 🙂

This is shocking...

This is what's happening in education right now...

We must do better. When did children get taken out of all decision-making?

We must put children back at the heart of education.

[Cherry Croxon @mscroxon]

How do people assess reading more formally? Summative or otherwise. Would love to make bold changes so just checking out what others are doing!

@MissEveritt_ On my interview last year (successful!), I taught year 4 and used A.F. Harrold's "Perils Of Breakfast" poem, they then wrote their own versions. This was a LOT of fun! Good luck!

[Cherry Croxon @mscroxon]

I feel like the children are really getting a lot out of story time when one of them later insults the other by calling him "Sally Bones"!! Secretly very proud 😂 @whatSFSaid

[Ben Davis @bendavis_86]

Improving attendance in schools isn't a standalone issue. It's not about forcing children through the door or finding a quick fix. Addressing the SEND crisis, increasing funding for CAMHS & trying to ensure that schools have consistent staffing would all have an enormous impact.

[Julie Pike @Juliepike]

There are a couple of pupils who occasionally come to my classroom at lunchtime and read. Today, they spotted Sulwe at the front of our picturebook box. There was absolute joy when they saw a character who looked like them. Representation in books really matters.

[Cherry Croxon @mscroxon]

@ClodaghSnarks @EmmaDee77 That's what we are doing this year. If some children/parents have already sorted a dress-up option, they can wear it, but there is no pressure for those who haven't yet.

[Cherry Croxon @mscroxon]

@DeputyGrocott @jonnybid Varjak Paw here in y3, too! They voted for it 🐈‍⬛

[Jarrett Lerner @Jarrett_Lerner]

[Cherry Croxon @mscroxon]

@whatSFSaid So excited to have the year 3 children back tomorrow to continue our story time journey with Varjak Paw. One of my favourites!

[Cherry Croxon @mscroxon]

@joshuaseigal I used "I Don't Like Poetry" for my reading fluency Inset session for our staff today. Great text to model echo reading and how to explore reading aloud with expression for the children. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Debbie Bowers @DebbieBowers18]

This was an excellent interview and worth catching up with. I think that all of us in education are feeling some level of hope that major changes must now happen within Ofsted. Professor Walters spoke with such eloquence and wisdom. #RuthPerry#@Ofstednews
