1. A story. Please read. Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit. I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

I couldn’t agree more with this blog from @emmaturner75.bsky.social “In almost 28 years I have never once taught a lesson in any subject in any age group that went the neat way my original lesson plan would have had me believe it should.” Replace that with my 40 years. It urgently needs a rethink.

On World Book Day year 5 made a class book of their favourite books. I think they’ve done a lovely job!

It’s never too late!

We had a lovely World Book Day today. Lots of highlights, but particularly enjoyed eavesdropping in on lots of lovely book chat in my class. 📚❤️

Good morning all, I do hope you have some nice things planned for your Sunday. Today our #FebMusicChallenge25 are hauntingly beautiful songs. I am really looking forward to these.

Extraordinary Portraits is a little gem of a programme. ❤️

I absolutely love this song, I cant believe they never went on to greater success - this song is so good though (they did have a couple of other crackers too) #FebMusicChallenge25 open.spotify.com/playlist/6js...
