@OneMinuteBriefs @SimandSkills That's one new year's resolution I can get behind

Create a poster to advertise ANYTHING using the #ChillGuyChallenge

Shamelessly featuring my own brand @SimandSkills 😂

Haven't done a @OneMinuteBriefs in ages. Good to get the creative cogs clunking.

@oldandrewuk That their child was coming home desperate to do a poo because they wouldn't do it at school. Apparently the school toilets smelt bad and they could only bear it for a number 1.
Toilets frequented by 5 year olds smelling bad? Would've thought? 😂

@mrjamesob If you haven't already, watch on Apple TV or listen to the podcast #theshrinknextdoor for a fascinating insight into a manipulative relationship built on pathological lying & gaslighting. The liar involved still lies to this day & still believes his own lies

@TeachingAHT If I walked into a reception classroom devoid of wonderful language-rich, reciprocal conversations, sorry, 'noise'- I would be very worried. I thought we'd already seen this generation's worst Ed Sec 😩

When you see #paulmcgrath is trending and breathe a sigh of relief that it's because it's St.Patrick's Day. ☘️ #OnemoreroundmyLord #mcgrathgod #avfc #utv

Gender bias and discrimination does exist, but it doesn't have to be a barrier to girls and women achieving and succeeding.

I once had a lovely chat with one of our Year 6 pupils, who was soon to be heading off to Secondary School. She was worried that she wasn't going to do as well as the boys.
I told her how proud I was of her and that I thought she could go on to achieve whatever she wanted.

[Nicola Cook @teachingNic]

If you believe in yourself and work hard, then you can go on to do whatever you want. That girl is now in Year 11 and I often think about her and hope that she is still believing in her self.
Then I have to remind myself, to deliver this message to myself.

My son starts Reception this week. He's not statutory school age until next summer. I don't want him doing a statutory test, sorry, assessment #rba 😔.Where do I stand as a parent? Can I pull him out of this process? #eytalking #eyfs #baseline #Morethanascore #takingastand

[Nursery World @NurseryWorld]

The reality of the Reception Baseline Assessment for children is very different from the Government's portrayal of it in an information leaflet for parents, argues Nancy Stewart https://t.co/KF86wJEYvn
