Kids running around with knives and axes is not actually a good thing. Police involvement is correct.

GCSE results are OUT!
First time we have achieved this!
Congratulations to everyone!
Social mobility at its best! 🥰
Insane that the police are protecting someone from an angry mob of imbeciles....apparently.

What a student's book looks like has little-to-no bearing on how much that student has learned; if your observations are going to focus on the books, your teachers are going to spend more time on children taking notes and glueing in sheets than modelling and explaining.

As the year draws to a close, I'm sharing my Y6 reading folder (though there are some random bits in like some Y2 lessons) for free, which is full of Y6 whole class reading lessons.

Plus my (very long) blog on how we teach it:

Remember, if you want to help SEND children at primary school, just give the teachers more paperwork. That will definitely help.
Absolute insanity how much time and energy is wasted on things that sound great but add nothing.
There are people angry that children will be taught that the Vikings had links to the Islamic world.
These links are true. It's not political correctness, it's just reality.
Surprisingly, mums often excuse a lot of toxic boy behaviour in schools.
Dads don't like to hear about their sons hitting or threatening girls.
Mums, in my experience, more defensive of their angels.

Allied soldiers would quickly become disgusted by the actions of Soviet troops in Germany.
Mass rapes, seen as quite funny by Stalin, were particularly heinous to Brits and Americans.
I feel that teachers will always have a role as a sort of unofficial...social worker?
Supporting pupils from challenging home lives who need an adult to provide therapeutic support; usually seen as behaviour management.
Can't yet seen how AI can support these pupils directly
Far from 'transforming' education, the emergence of AI is underlining why human teachers matter. To put it crudely, kids respond to people not screens.
Just watched my daughter interacting with an AI tutor. She lost interest after 15 mins. Incredible to think that her classroom teacher is still far more effective on a whole range of measures, even while dealing with 30 other kids in her class.
If the private sector really wanted to make a difference in education they would be investing in teachers not scalable AI tutor models which may work with the most motivated students, but for the ones who struggle, they need humans who are invested in them as people and can respond as only humans can.

Pre-teaching Tier 3 vocabulary is one of the key ways teachers can make complex texts accessible.
Using prefixes, suffixes and their etymology is a highly effective way of doing this.
Here is a 5 step approach and examples:

🙋♀️ yes I admit that this was me before we had our severely disabled daughter. I thought we'd be directed to some lovely, inclusive, nurturing parallel universe.
Instead I found only disgusting public toilet floors to change her on & no play equipment in our parks for her to use.
