@swanfrog10 yes. It doesn't matter where you try. Email link, EMI and ticketmaster (app and website) - all spinning circles. Maybe Tomorrow.....

Everyday's a school day.... Look how much I learned on Duolingo in 2023! How did you do? #Duolingo365

[The Study Buddy @thestudybuddyUK]

It's been a really good year for Study Buddy. And we're so grateful for the support of the teachers and parents who've been using our tools - and the opportunity to help so many students in the run-up to their GCSE and A Level exams #SmallBusiness #gcse2023 #win

Such a fabulous day. It was a real pleasure to spend the morning with the Year 11s. (and then the sixth form in the afternoon!). They're a credit to the school.

And, what an amazing venue! @Warminster1707

@BradleyKBusch @EducationFest @P_A_Kirschner @PearceMrs @HughesHaili @mikehobbiss @badger_claire There's a good chance I could just camp out in Waterloo Hall! So many interesting speakers and topics [across the whole event]

[Nathan McGurl @nathanmcgurl]

@MegVertebrae Excellent! If you have some time tomorrow that would fabulous.

[Nathan McGurl @nathanmcgurl]

How do you decide which #educationfest sessions to go to? I've taken three passes to try to sort out the multiple clashes. I can only think I'm going to have to flip a coin....

Thanks so much to @BradleyKBusch and @Inner_Drive for taking my scribbles and making them into something coherent! https://t.co/og5KVkkXmX

[Nathan McGurl @nathanmcgurl]

@badger_claire @BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive Seeing success as a catalyst for motivation is really interesting.

Do you think that perhaps helping students to either fake or otherwise by-pass an initial burst of motivation is what they need to get going. (Rather than trying to hitch their wagon to a specific aspiration)

[Nathan McGurl @nathanmcgurl]

@shaun_allison @atharby A great read. I find that often people hear routine and think rigid or militaristic. Whereas I'm minded to think it could simply be a framework - repeatable patterns of behaviour and activity.

Loved the Aristole 'quote' - definitely borrowing that too!

[Nathan McGurl @nathanmcgurl]

Of all the times to find out you've not got enough in the meter...

Absolutely amazing night.

My daughter needs your help! If you have a pet (or more) would you mind taking 4 mins to answer a quick survey?

She's looking at how animals are used in therapy and is interested in how we relate to our pets at home.

Leaving the house in the dark wasn't fun, but I'm so excited to be heading to Peterborough for a focus session on time management and revision with 20 PP GCSE students. My first out of the South West! @thestudybuddyUK

[The Study Buddy @thestudybuddyUK]

It's always great to have the opportunity to present to parents and share tips on managing time in the run up to exams. #gcses2023
