Ok, I'd like to see people discuss what's changed since 2016. I'm toying with the idea of a classroom return, are things different in terms of work/life balance now? Different under a new government? And, how have parent/teacher/school interactions changed? That's what I think about.

Is it time to turn Bluesky into Twitter circa 2010?

This is how I want to start assembly this week #BensonBoone02

Unwittingly, I asked a child receiving a times table award what six sevens were on Friday. Cue three hundred children laughing and juggling hands. 🤷‍♀️I won’t be asking that particular question again anytime soon 😂

Yesterday #ResearchED was fantastic. Thank you to all the people who give up their time for free to speak at these events. Huge credit to @tombennett71.bsky.social and @hgaldinoshea.bsky.social and their fleet of helpers who make this a highlight of my social calendar each September.

Enjoy your last week of holidays! Cheers from Newquay 😊

Without cheating. Which cathedral?

Listen up! My latest podcast with @didau.bsky.social is on the subject of Free Will: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

I’m leaving my school after eight years 😭. I will miss the community and my colleagues. September will be a complete change for me. Out of class deputy in a bigger school. Good luck to everyone moving to pastures new. Enjoy your last week and the summer!

Loads of spelling mistakes in this.

Have a great first day back everyone!

Happy New Year Bluesky

Took Reception to see Rosie Robin and the Christmas Post at @littleangeltheatre.bsky.social . Magical and so Christmassy. The children loved it.

Yes, people will post pictures on social media of sleeping arrangements on Xmas Eve and I will once again attempt to leverage this to raise money for charity — just pinning this to my profile to head off the relentless (i.e. sporadic) enquiries

If you are after a good read about teaching I highly recommend @hywelroberts.bsky.social Someone who just gets it.

“Why did the Hungry Caterpillar make a cocoon?” #EYFS child: “So no one bothers him.” “Sorry?” I ask. EYFS child: “He needs time to THINK himself INTO a butterfly.” “Wow!” I respond. EYFS child: “Well, he didn’t do it by magic.”

Good call

I started a starter pack for Primary/EY but ran out of space so might need to start up a second one! Let me know if you think you should be on it :-) go.bsky.app/5qTTDcV

Update on Two-year old provision: Going extremely well and a lovely addition to the school community. Anyone contemplating, take the plunge. Watch out though, their bags are as big as them 🧸🥰

schoolsweek.co.uk/academy-free... This is the change of direction I’ve been waiting for. Bravo Sir Kevan Collins.

X has a disproportionate influence over the stories the media covers and our political debate

Very much enjoyed hosting The Deanery Mass and welcoming over 130 Catholic teachers from Islington last night to our little school. Once every eight years is probably enough though. 🥱

If you're looking for support, especially in the form of supervision, I've spent a day tidying up (most) of my website just for you. :) www.mind-your-head.net I've included some research and reports on the homepage linked to my session at #rED24 on Saturday. Get in touch if this is of interest.

I'm pretty late to the Bluesky party, but hi everyone. 😃

Well this is lovely isn't it?
