Keep holding it for as long as you can because one day will be the last day and you never know when that is...❀️

Having spent my half term week ill for the 3rd year on the trot, I'm very eager for this to come to fruition. Working with germ infested children is a real pita about being a teacher so sign me up ASAP!

Exploring The Use of Generative AI by Primary Teachers to teach Science Action research into AI Use 2026

I’m running a short research survey exploring how primary teachers and student teachers are using tools like ChatGPT and Copilot in their day-to-day teaching, with a particular focus on primary science.

Wow, I expected one outcome as plotted but that point when it turned, I gasped! Next time...

Genuine (ignorant) question: do teachers/people working in educational settings with an emotional wellbeing/safeguarding facet to their roles have regular access to supervision, coaching or therapeutic support? I'm trying to understand if there are standard processes across the landscape. #edusky

One of options for primary should also be wet play. Sometimes being stuck inside and not being able to run around causes chaos. Plus they make a bloody mess of my classroom!πŸ™„

It's taken me years of listening to it to stop tearing up. I can remember properly hearing the lyrics about running down corridors and realising what it was about. 😒

This popped up as a reminder of something I had posted in 2017 at the end of his presidency . God how I wish we were back then. We had no idea how much things would change...

It's funny to see his paintings now and reflect on their accuracy. Also to ask why? Surely it would have been quicker and cheaper (even in the 70s) to use photos for the Ladybird books. As a first hand consumer I can honestly say I didn't appreciate them for the works of art they are but I do now!

Had a similar moment in 90s. Was in a restaurant in Hove and someone walked in, thought he looks familiar and so must be from the office block I worked. Gave him a colleague nod, and then his wife walked in and I thought what is Zoe Ball doing with a bloke from work and realised it was Norman Cook!

I teach yr3 as our end of term treat they watched (as i do every year) The Wrong Trousers & Shaun The Sheep movie. They absolutely loved them both. Most of my kids are EAL so its perfect for them & I feel like its a major part of their education! I did my civic duty introducing them to Aardman!!!!

Reading Order - Discworld Emporium

There are a few theories on how to start. I'm old enough that I read them as published (having to wait was agony) but there are groups that might work better for a newbie.

Try the quiz on the link and the Librarian will advise you where to start. Ook!

I prefer the first one because that tells us how much pizza each person get whereas the second picture tells us how many people 1 pizza feeds. I think thats right?

If I'm correct I would prefer to know the first fact rather than the second as I'm a people-centred person rather than pizza-centred!

Travelled on 2 trains this evening. Waiting for train #1went to Costa. 2 young teenage boys buying hit chocolate, 2nd boy buys first one a sirop wafer and then tell the barista to keep the change. Obviously one of his first times buying something by himself and he chose generosity.
