@katesutton70 @STEMLearningUK Hope you enjoy your year. All the best. 👍

@mrheaphistory @oldandrewuk Teaching… or parents? I’ve never promoted these as a teacher - quite the opposite to the above statement in fact. 😶

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

@RogersHistory It was obvious that it was a parody. OFTSED wouldn’t give you that long to improve. 4 weeks? I snigger…..

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

@DTWillingham Would an award for ‘Excellent attendance’ be better - for all over the required (I believe) 96%?

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

@smithsmm Also from a seaside town - I concur. One can’t help but to see both points of view though.

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

@daisychristo Is it the fact that we have improved (not so re: Gov report) or that other countries have gone down due to sampling during COVID impact (as so re: Gov report). The future reports will show our true data trends and clarify the impact of our educational policies.

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

This is utter nonsense. I’m a year 6 teacher. Secondaries ask for if they’re at age related only; they are not privy to the gap analysis that could be gained from the SATs. They find that out for themselves from their own assessments. Public misinformation @educationgovuk

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

SATs play a key role in helping to identify pupils’ strengths or where they may have fallen behind as they head to secondary school.

Here's everything parents need to know about SATs, including how we develop the tests and why they're important ⬇️

I enjoyed the show (online) of Ruby and Burnt Out in Biscuitland #BOBL - very thought provoking, particularly comparing COVID times to before/after COVID times. A great show to see. @bridspa

Was the pay offer fully funded? I understood from the news and my head it wasn’t. Here it says it was. What are the facts? Please help me understand. @NEUnion @educationgovuk

@FloraSCooper Please change the system to where OFSTED are required to support schools and ensure that the staff and pupils are cared for, provided for and succeed, and that OFSTED carry the can if they don’t. Surely this is not too Sci Fi? 👍🙏 Thank you for taking a stand.

@LtL_News Fabulous!

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

Teacher “disappointed” by continual underfunding of essential services by government and reckless handling of the economy causing unnecessary additional hardship to millions across the UK. But seemingly from the actions of many in government, this doesn’t seem to matter to them.

Our pupils @burlingtonjnr love getting outdoors and enjoyed a nature walk to enhance writing skills yesterday @gettingoutside #mindfulness #descriptivewriting

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

Wow. Brilliantly interactive.

The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting

[Matt C @sonicmattc]

Incredible

I am amazed how quickly and eagerly many of our pupils can now name various species of trees. The first step to conservation is when nature comes into view and starts to become personal to you. 🙂🌳👍

[Burlington Juniors @burlingtonjnr]

Year 4s went out to identify trees and seeds. They were fascinated by how some travelled, such as the ‘helicopter’ sycamore seeds. They also found English oak, Italian alder, ash, silver birch, holly and field maple. @TheTreeCouncil @MoorTrees @YorksWildlife #ForceForNature

@DeputyGrocott It was a photo - background taken out - messed about with on an iPhone and then a PC with tints etc. - then adjusted photocopier brightness for final effect - then cut up and coded carefully. Apart from the last bit, it was mostly adjusted as I went along. Effective though. 🙂

@DeputyGrocott Here’s one we made for the Jubilee. We still display it in remembrance.
