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...

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. #whyilovereading docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

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

Second year of getting my class to design a piece of art/collage of a favourite book cover for their homework projects. I’m blown away by their artistic talent! @stewfoster1 @lthompsonwrites @_Reading_Rocks_
