I have created 12 lessons for after Easter which are a big mix of SPAG revision (30 mins) and creative writing with a SPAG focus for the other half of the lesson. Excited to teach these!! #English #SATS #year6

Does anyone have a personal development curriculum they would share with me? A primary school with nursery - year 6. Would love to see what others are doing!

Schools who have moved away from a points progress system and more towards just saying children are working below, working towards, expected and greater depth - how are you showing progress for children with SEN who are clearly making good progress but won’t come out of wb?

An eye opening day with @gfreeman2012 thank you for the SEND CPD. Would highly recommend if you’re interested in how to get the best for your EHCP children and your school!

Not only did I get the pleasure of cooking this delightful meal today, my baby had a perfectly timed nap so I could eat in peace without having brussel sprouts thrown at my head. Now I call that a Christmas win! #merrychristmas #christmasdinner

Just a reminder that if a book has an RRP of £7.99 or less, we can provide a class set for your class: £159 for 30 £90 for 15 Free delivery in both instances. THE easiest way to get a set of books in your class's hands and improve reading. [email protected]

Thanks for all the messages. I will retweet my blog from a couple of years ago but we have adapted reading a bit since then. Happy to chat to anyone who wants more info and take visits if anyone is local to Lincolnshire too!
8 weeks of reading progress!! Smashed it Y6! (The data nerd in me loves the colours 😂😍). Will always stand by how we teach reading for its huge impact!

Anyone know of any lessons or visitors etc who can support with children using the word ‘gay’ to be unkind!? Feel like we have one year group in particular who need support with this.

If anyone else has a reading team or group of children in school who are reading ambassadors etc what sort of jobs do they do? We are introducing this from Monday and already got lots of ideas but don’t wanna miss anything!

Inspired by @_MissieBee to take our reading records more online this year. Trialling this in year six where each child will have their own stream and will have some focus questions each week to discuss their book. Can’t wait to share with each other every week! #welovereading
