Loving the first #NoOutsiders display this year. We are finding ways to make sure every child knows they belong regardless of nationality, and teaching that we all bring something unique to the school #Belonging #pshe

My girls are SO excited when they get a dress with pockets. So little of their clothing does. Cute reaction, but does speak towards clothes being gendered.

Smile A LOT.

I legitimately received the advice to not smile before Christmas with my NQT class. Can’t think of worse, legitimate advice I’ve received in my life.

a woman with long hair is standing on a beach with her hand on her head Alt: a woman pirate with long hair is standing on a beach putting a hat on.

I would like to know your top picture books about pirates and treasure chests. Suitable for nursery/P1.

And also your best pirate activities! #EduSkyPrimary

I second the troll, and the wellerman.

I’ll add Neil Gaiman’s Pirate Stew! Fab rhymes and hilarious ending, and you could really flesh it out…make pirate stew out of ANYTHING, and they could turn into pirates. Could also do real food stuff.

Look after your headteacher!!!

We are still hearing too many stories of Headteachers at the end of their tether!

Heads do such a demanding job.

We really need to look after them!

We’re not an island of strangers-
We’re a tapestry, bold and bright.
Every culture, every story,
Turns difference into light.
Welcoming new faces
Builds bridges, not divides.
Britain’s true strength
Is everyone, side by side.

Great shout, but after growing calendula to eat, I discovered it was the first thing I’ve ever been allergic to!

Just minor, but even the smell of them nowadays makes my throat close up a bit 😩

Are there any trusts whose executive team regularly spend days in school supporting with supply/teaching?

Seems a great way to deal with supply issues and see how things work in classrooms.

Girls in England lag behind boys in maths and science study International research finds the gender gap in Year 9 maths in England is wider than any other participating country.

Ahhh not good news at all.

DoodleMaths is proven to boost attainment, and with that confidence, so could definitely help with the maths results here. And it's NC-aligned from R-Y9!

ha yes this is me, but in the evening.

And then sometimes I forget to schedule it and ping a teacher an email at like 10:30 at night. THEN there's the dilemma: do I reply right away and apologise?!

'Procrastinate' literally means β€œhaving been put forward til tomorrow.”

β€˜pro’ (β€œforward”) + β€˜crastinus’ (β€œof tomorrow”)

We meant to post this weeks ago.
