Suggestions please! We’ve got a mixed Y1/2 class. The y1s will be accessing phonics with the class teacher, while the y2s will (ideally) be using an app/game on the iPads to support spelling. They’ll have a TA with them, but won’t be in the classroom with the teacher. Recs for apps please? #edusky

Very close to my hometown! Always missing it - so nice to see it being captured so beautifully!

Never mind becoming DHT… I’ve just realised that I haven’t taught PE since 2020 and now I’ll be teaching it weekly with 34 uks2 children - that’s gonna be the real challenge πŸ˜…πŸ˜… #edusky #eduprimary

I have previously used The Dragon Machine with year four! We focused on the use on fronted adverbials, -ly starters and similes - lots of opportunities to describe setting and characters ☺️

Thank you! 🫢🏼 they were already in the classroom, but I think they’re just cheap-ish ones from b&m or the range! ☺️

This is my nearly-finished reading corner! I just need to sort the books and add an β€œour reading journey” display above πŸ“š
I have a huge classroom, so I’m loving being able to dedicate some real space to our reading area 🫢🏼

Thought I’d do an intro, seeing as I’m new to this space!
I’m Sophie, 28 & about to start my 7th year of teaching! I’m starting in a new school (catholic primary) as DHT and Y5/6 teacher. Most of my experience is Y1 - been in Y4 also! Excited for my first time teaching UKS2πŸ₯³ #edusky #eduskyprimary

Thank you for this! I feel like I definitely needed to hear this advice 🫢🏼 I’m already nervous about not having all the answers all the time, but this has made me feel soo much better! Glad to hear that you’re loving it, I’m sure you’ll continue to thrive next year 🩷

Love that!!! 🩷 I’ve just finished my sixth year, so I’ve got plenty to learn still, but I’ve got an amazing Headteacher who I know is going to be amazing to work alongside!
