@Mr__Stafford thank you, I think that was exactly it! 😊📚

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]

Can anyone help - I read something recently about teachers reading while children are reading (setting an example) and I can't find it again - any ideas?

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]

@AgamemnonsBeard @kennypieper thanks Mike! can't for the life of me remember where I saw it but just looking for a source so this helps :)

@thatboycanteach 👋 nqt wishing this post had been last week before my parent nights 🤦‍♀️ so much good advice!

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]

@ajcorrigan Yep, lucky Aberdeenshire get a 2 week holiday too!! 👍 I think that evaluation might actually help for a week or two to get back into doing it! (super critical, but maybe not constructively when its my random tired thoughts at the end of each day) Thanks again!

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]

A full 2 days of doing not very much has helped me gain some needed perspective...how easy it's been to get caught up in the abyss that is nqt/probationer Term 1! ...haven't been myself, poss not questioned/reflected enough of what i've done and why...Hoping this isn't just me!🙈

@Mr_K_Teacher @langford_mr @WhiteRoseMaths I just love when I see simple things like this that just make sense!💡Will be used tomorrow as I've got a little group working on this 👍 Glad people share

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]

@ajcorrigan Thanks Amanda, I'm away from home too and think I haven't been giving myself enough time to think! Always hear 'where is the learning' in my head though, so at least I know the kids will have been learning purposefully 😂👍

@Miss_Holt2501 😭💕 hope they go somewhere nice when they grow up. you saved her lucky life x

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]

@FakeHeadteacher i've been looking for some research/evidence on the usefulness (or uselessness!) of primary homework - anyone recommend anything?

[Claire Macpherson @teach1emacp]
