We’ve introduced this activity to be done every Friday in maths as a starter. Really liked it and looking forward to seeing it grow over the year 👌➕➖✖️➗

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Emerging from the Twitter wilderness after a few years…Lots of change (becoming a dad, moving schools (twice)) but now feeling extremely motivated in a lovely school.

SLT, Computing lead, Y5👌

Computing is really exciting but is new to me. Who should I be following?? 💻 🙏

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

The biggest of thank yous to @kmlarwood for taking the time to video call my class today to talk all things Podkin. Overheard two children later on say ‘best day of my life’ and ‘I never ever thought I’d meet a real author’. 💜🐰

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Does anyone have a fairly comprehensive whole school times tables overview? As in a plan of when to teach/recap each one? 🙏

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Our two new additions have settled in well: Willow and Podkin (who’s been reading up on his namesake…@kmlarwood) 🐇 🐰 @MissHCritchley

From following each other on Twitter…to husband and wife.

Find me a more ‘celebrity’ feeling than a teacher walking through school on the last day of term and getting hounded by Year 6s asking for their T-shirt to be signed

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Was my stag do this weekend + last week of term = quiet reading all day tomorrow for my class then 🤫😴

[Mrs Andrew @MrsHAndrew]

Absolutely amazing day at @Wimbledon today. Watching @EmmaRaducanu was beyond incredible - what a career she has ahead of her! 👏🏼🍓🎾

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Me when the 21st member of my Y2 class tells me their tooth has fallen out this week

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

If you don’t start tomorrow with a ‘right guys if you could just put yourself on mute’ are you even a real teacher

‘...so the naming of this continent is difficult because some people say Australia, some say Australasia and some say Oceania...’

Y1: ‘My mum’s been to Oceania’

‘Oh wow did she love it?’

‘Yeah - it’s her favourite nightclub’

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Write a set of instructions on how to make pancakes.

Pretty happy with this Snow Day creation with @MissHCritchley ☃️

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Ffs we’re going to have all those ‘Joe Wicks isn’t really a PE teacher’ tweets again aren’t we 😡

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

Think this has summed up what I’ve been thinking about it all. Each person and school is different but I resonate a lot with this 👏

[Mr Allington 🎓🙋🏼‍♂️ @MrAllington]

Will I hand my S44 notice to my headteacher tomorrow (no children until Tuesday)? No.

Do I think it’s safe? No.

Do I worry about myself, my loved ones & my school community? Yes.

It is not my job to close schools and my intense worry is that we do not have public support. 1/6

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

If we’d all just taken that extra INSET day before term ended none of this would have happened

🙄

[Mr Andrew @PrimaryMrAndrew]

A lot of words for basically: ‘Crack on with it guys’
