We’ve LOVED having all children back in school today 🤩. Lots of fun activities happening around school this afternoon. #Wellbeing #BackToSchool

What a wonderful buzz there is in our school today! The children are all loving being back, seeing their friends and catching up. We have spring flowers in every classroom, as a reminder that spring has sprung and as a sign of new beginnings. #goodtobeback #springhassprung – at Clayhanger, England

Buddy is out of ‘elf isolation’ but is covid secure and following our guidelines. He has very kindly offered to test the chocolates in Y4 - he says they’re fab

We’ve started to plot our curriculum on a world map (each colour is a different phase). It’s not finished yet & will definitely evolve, but it’s been eye-opening to see a) we cover a lot more than we thought b) we still have hugely neglected areas. Diversifying in progress!

Have always hated RUCSAC.
Read - oh really? Thought I should eat it
Understand - no s*** Sherlock
Choose - as opposed to...?
Solve - what, I’m not just meant to leave it?
Answer - isn’t that the same as solve?
Check - I’m gonna need another acronym to help me with that...
NEW for @tes :

I've updated this spreadsheet, which now has nearly 70 children's books on. I have highlighted key themes in each book and indicated potential links to the curriculum where it could be used. Happy to discuss books in more detail via DM.

Bingo!
We also made a #LineOfDuty bingo but we’ve watched to the end of Series 5. Make of that what you will.
