In the foreground, a small group of magpies are perched. But the scene is dominated by a pink sunset over a mere and approaching starling murmuration

You’ve probably answered your own question. However, the grass isn’t always greener. Perhaps have a look at what’s out there and do some school visits?

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead.

Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

I haven’t watched it yet either. Daughter has seen it and said it was terrifying but amazing. I was traumatised by the silent b&w version… Also, now I’m old, scary films really scare me!

Highly recommended. I also love the audiobook versions. Jackson Lamb is even better in the books.

Would love some as we have launched form time reading but not sure how many you’d be happy to spare and also - which Sutton? πŸ˜‚

Sweat the Small Stuff! - TeacherToolkit Reading time, 4 minutes: This is a blog about managing behaviour in your classroom, and doing it consistently in line with whole-school policy. There is no place for the maverick teacher who ignores…

NEVER allow a lesson to proceed with any kind of interruption.

Nip low-level #behaviour in the bud! It’s tough to drop the curriculum.

Funeral for Tony Slattery Tony's death was sudden and unexpected, and sadly he had not made any provisions for his funeral.

There is a crowdfunder for Tony Slattery’s funeral - please share among those you think you be interested

English teachers:

Starting to cover bias in media and exploring two articles that differed completely - be it objective/subjective.

Any ideas of articles based two events that were reported on in completely different manners? @sccenglish.bsky.social @conorsmurf.bsky.social #Edchatie
