Electric car not running well, warning lights etc Day 1 Phone garage (under warranty) Reply “sounds like a cold battery, better monitor it” Me “have you heard of that before- the cold affecting the running?” Reply “no, not really. Just monitor it” Me 😧 Day 2 More lights, ‘misfiring’ effect. >>

Right! Where are all the teachers I don’t follow on here. Make yourselves known! I’m needing me some more teacher chat. #TeacherSky #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary #PrimaryTeachers

I will never understand why a gong is appropriate for people who are simply doing their job well. And often paid more than adequately for that.

Has this government no balls?? Giving into farmers…. Ffs 🤦🏼‍♀️ @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Mathematicians, math enthusiasts, and math teachers everywhere should want a piece of this: #iTeachMath

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Yes please do ask yourself this

You by really need a landline now to discover where the hell you left your mobile.

A few people have asked about the audit tool I've developed, aligned to the DFE writing framework. I've made it available here: www.lulu.com/shop/ruth-swailes/integrated-early-writing-talk-and-physical-development-audit-tool/ebook/product-v8qn2z9.html?q=integrated+early+writing&page=1&pageSize=4

Such connected mathematical thinking! After just 1.5 hours practice over 3 weeks, the level of fluency and reasoning developing here is so good to see 😀 #fluency #NumberClub #MTBoS

I genuinely don’t know what to do. We have an excellent local @labouruk.bsky.social MP - the first for many years. I door-knocked for her. I door-knocked for change. Locally she is a real fighter. But nationally. I’m upset, let down, furious. Stephen Norris this morning - WHAT THE ABSOLUTE F?

This is disgusting. Absolutely furious with Labour for behaving like this. Complete betrayal of progressive values and voters.

Why is nothing being made of this ? It doesn’t excuse the lack of oversight by the BBC, but still 🤷🏼‍♀️

Some symmetry and radial patterns grew at this centre during tabletop play this morning. ML: It’s a beetle. Here’s the head (pointing) and here’s the tail (other end). HC: I made a flower (first pic). Look, I added more to my pattern.

Imo 'school readiness' is a ridiculous concept especially now that so many of the early learning goals (the measure they use) are not developmentally appropriate. Honestly you should see the self-regulation goals because quite a lot of *adults* wouldn't meet them.

“Magic moments only happen when you’re extremely well-prepared” - Freddie Mercury. That, folks, is my mantra for early mathematics teaching: preparation rather than planning 👏🏼 #earlymaths #earlyyears #mathematics #teaching

@debrakidd.bsky.social - did you see this thread? Here’s an answer to where is the vision in our curriculum review.

Excellent thread on the curriculum review process. @suecowley.bsky.social - have you seen this?

Does anyone know if there is any restriction on how late in the evening folk are allowed to let off fireworks? It’s gone 11 on a school night and my poor dog is still hysterically barking at the continual bangs. 😬😫🤦🏼‍♀️

Excellent thread on the curriculum review process. @suecowley.bsky.social - have you seen this?

But here is a wonderful example of how assessment can enrich learning and teaching..

Bit depressing really that the end result of a wholescale curriculum review is "we'll have a bit more oracy and loads more tests." Where is the vision and ambition?

I think this @schoolsweek.bsky.social interview demonstrates how the focus of the curriculum review was subject related and secondary focused. I don't think it actually deals with key issues around young people's engagement and wellbeing within the English system. schoolsweek.co.uk/interview-be...

What a lovely thread 🧵

Once again… testing is not teaching. Testing children does not teach them to read and it doesn’t encourage schools to teach children to read. It encourages schools to teach to the test. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thomas Hall School in Exeter now gives every pupil—from Reception to Year 11—a weekly forest school session, proving that the best learning often happens under the trees

I have a third cartoon in the current Private Eye. I'm fully expecting to appear in Pedants Corner with this one.
