Really helpful @ruthswailes.bsky.social but also extremely worrying and very disappointing

Definitely part of the role of the Governing Body - especially the CoG’s ability to listen and support

How do you become 'fluent' at reading? Ruth Miskin knows. Maybe I'm slow off the mark here but I was alerted this week to a programme that is on sale now that will teach children 'reading fluency'. ...

Morning
Are there any Chair of Governors on here?
I’m beginning to feel under pressure - as a β€˜volunteer’ and wondered how others are faring?

I always think cues are missed at the early stage and a quick hug or interaction to reassure a small child helps them so much - any parent needs to be in tune with their child - not too much to ask

I have a pile of sticks, on
my driveway, collected by every grandchild, over time. All very precious to the owner

Totally agree with you and has been my mantra for years

Still awful…. Fortunately I’m involved with a school that promotes music - in any form

As a CoG I find this really sad. Would it be worth talking to your LA SIP - if you have one?

Definitely not - it’s fascinating observing their uniqueness
