I'm a magpie for resources but I'm sharing what little I have. Hopefully it might be useful. https://t.co/9RDi7Oet2R #sharingiscaring #edutwitter #teambiology #teamscience

@STEMyBanda I have to be in work so…

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

So glad it’s half term.
Love teaching but not where I’m teaching.

Independent reading during school time (e.g., DEAR) has not had strong research support. New meta-analysis of 47 quasi-exp studies shows modest effects for reading motivation and word recognition, and no effect for comprehension. Article is open-access. https://t.co/iHXN0HSweD

So today I learned the hard way why you always wear safety goggles when doing experiments. Salt water and potato? I’ll be fiiine. Nope. Turns out I’m allergic to raw potato when it’s rubbed in my eye by accident. ;( even after many antihistamines it’s still swollen.

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

@MBDscience This is why I teach pshe to a y12 and a y13 group and their form tutors do not.

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

@EyesShutTeacher I do the same too!
I got home early as I had to leave to pick up my eldest from sch.

One of my y11 told me there was no point me setting cover as they wouldn’t do it. 🙄

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

I feel like poop with a cold. But the thought of setting 5hrs of cover that is all uploaded, with instructions, is meaningful, easy for a non specialist to deliver and will actually be done is beyond my brain power right now and it’s easier to just go in and teach. :(

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

@La_Biologuita This is amazing news. Am so happy for you xxx

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

@amymayforrester Came home to my 12yo and her best friend doing this. Great way to end the week!

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

Open evening last Wednesday and Thursday I came down with a crappy cold. Coincidence?

[Ms G @MsGee_C]

@edmunds_dr I’ve been using your equations practice book and had such fantastic responses from students

[John Peters @johnthejack]

Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13.
