Can everyone water their lawns & soil. Birds need worms to feed their babies, but the ground is too hard

“Not to worry”

Translation: You’ve ruined everything.

I've been thinking some more about this and I suspect it's linked to the view of learning as just being about memorising more of what you might call 'knowledge items' rather than being a flexible, living, breathing thing.

Most of us have used Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation & we can thank Gladys West for creating the foundation for GPS.

She used her mathematical & programming expertise to invent an accurate model of the Earth.

As part of the government’s drive to improve reading and writing, the department will also publish a writing framework in the summer, that will be a first step to support schools in delivering high quality writing provision across England ensuring all pupils have a strong foundation in writing.

Oh for goodness sake... We're in the midst of a curriculum review; why are they adding new deckchairs? 🙄

I get very little support time. I’m meant to meet all the needs of my class by myself & teach a full curriculum.

I can do one or the other. Yes I can preempt a meltdown, but not whilst teaching a lesson.

If you need me I’ll be fixing a recurring dodgy connection on a pupil’s wheelchair…

As someone who has seen both primary and secondary schools up close, I thought I'd add to this with a brief list of some of the most significant differences between them.

(This is obviously based on my own experiences, so pinch of salt.)
