Trialling a ‘reading journal’ instead of the standard reading record to make it more enjoyable & independent for my class. Have a list of activities & ask them to complete at least one for each book they read, and just to keep track of when they read then the rest is up to them!

How adorable is this note my brother got from his neighbour 😢

I put a riddle on the board every morning as part of my morning tasks in the summer term. Yesterday’s: what has teeth but cannot bite? A pupil (dead seriously): *puts hand up* like, a dead human? I was honestly wetting myself

Any fellow English leads willing to share how they structure writing across the school?? Looking at our curriculum and how best to lay it out and would love to see what others are doing that works well 🙏 especially in KS1 as I’m less familiar with how it works!

Seen the Yellowface hype everywhere so requested it from the library. I’m 10th in the queue 😬 can I wait that long or should I just buy it?! (I also hate having hardbacks on my bookshelf 😫)

Children make me laugh😂 at least the speech punctuation is correct!

Going to Brighton for a hen do next weekend and just discovered no parking where we are staying. Anyone know of anywhere to park in Brighton that won’t cost me £100 for the whole weekend 🥴 staying fairly central but I’m happy to walk a bit to avoid paying!

More Mexico City fun 🇲🇽

Great fun in Mexico City today 🇲🇽

3rd time reading Kick to a class and today one child pipes up, ‘Are all the chapters named after Elvis songs?’ Please tell me this is true @MitchAuthor?!

I neeeed this @joanieclothing jumper! joanieclothing.com/eastman-r…

I was given this today. Tips on how not to eat it in one go are very welcome

New fave shop - Madhatter Bookshop in Burford 🙌

I went on a great training session with @ICT_MrP & @DrChips_ today. Some great ideas for Computing/ IT to take back to the classroom and so refreshing to listen to someone who talks with so much sense about managing workload & the main issues in the education world at the moment!

Been meaning to sort my books by colour for ages. That was so hard 😂 and then what do I do when I get new books?! How do people keep this up??

We held a breakfast this morning for our World Book Day celebrations. Was so lovely having parents come in to read with their children before school and we had some generous donations of food from local businesses too! Such a lovely community feel 🙌

Celebrating #WorldBookDay properly tomorrow but couldn’t let today pass without a bit of book tasting! Inspired by @Teacherglitter. Children absolutely loved it!

My attempt at rockstar attire for @RockKidzUK today. Brilliant day, lots of fun had by all 🙌

Happy pancake day 🎉 🥞

Oh my. This is a dangerous test of willpower
