Happy Friday! You have made it to the end of the first week! Hopefully there will be lots to celebrate already. Enjoy today! #YouGotThis

New academic year means new stationery! I am loving my new planner from @tidythink.bsky.social

Hope today has been a positive one for you (whatever it looked like) remember the academic year is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself and for the first few weeks prioritise routines and expectations - getting that right now will maximise learning time in the long run! #YouGotThis

That Sunday night feeling will be rife tonight. Try to unwind as best as you can, watch a film, have a hot bath, whatever helps you relax. If you find you can't sleep don't lie in bed thinking, jot things down on a pad or get up, do something different, then head back to bed.

Has anyone got pictures of reading spaces/areas/storage within their KS1 classroom? I’m looking for inspiration.💡

Anon post: For those who have made the transition, what aspects of headship did being a deputy not fully prepare you for? Are there any specific experiences—big or small—that would help bridge the gap before taking on the role?

World Book Day is approaching. Here are four books that I've had the whole school doing activities on from Reception to Year 6 before now. A lovely way to bring the whole school together.

Very happy to be posting No Outsiders goodies to lovely schools this morning. Rolls of Equality Act posters, a bunch of lanyards, parent / carer booklets and No Outsiders pens! Have a great Saturday, everyone! #NoOutsiders no-outsiders.com/shop-1

Great quote from @dylanwiliam @CharteredColl 'If we direct our energies not on evaluating teachers but on improving them, we are far more likely to improve the quality of education that our pupils receive'

New blog in my series on self-regulation! This one is on attentional control. #EduSky www.suecowley.co.uk/blog

Sometimes we worry about the mental health of friends and loved ones, but we don’t want to tell them we’re worried. Thanks to Murphys Sketches for the beautiful illustration showing there are lots of ways to begin that conversation. And what better time to start than today, #TimeToTalkDay

I have been doing one or two of these from MathsBot a day for a week or so now, as a prelude to starting percentages imminently. On the surface, great for percentages anyway, but the amount of chat around mental strategies and number relationships is unreal too.

Creating habits for your own wellbeing are so important but can be hard to embed and maintain! @tidythink.bsky.social thank you for including this page 👇🏻 in my journal to help me keep track of the habits I want to develop!

*Daily Tip* When introducing or discussing the British Value of individual liberty. "The granny who wasn't like other grannies" is a great book. It encapsulates the essence of this brilliantly. #YouGotThis

Using picture books is a wonderful way to engage students in discussion of any important topic. It introduces content knowledge and vocabulary.

*Daily Tip* Using picture books can be a great way of engaging children in discussions around British values: use "The Election" can help with developing children's understanding of democracy and how it works in Britain. #YouGotThis
