We wouldn't include or exclude because of the celebrity factor.
Ibtihaj Muhammad was a famous athlete before she was an author. Teachers fought over who would get to have her book in their year.

Nobody wanted Walliams.

I think it's also OK to be honest about life as a reader. We don't all love all books.

I think so (but it does depend on the book). It helps to share it with someone who does love it.

I led the development of our Reading Spine and I think the thing I'm proudest of is that there are books I would never have chosen. It's a reflection of more voices than just this one opinionated booklover. 😀

Remember when twitter used to be a nice place?

School leadership done differently. A thread.

My son's response:
"Well yeah, you're funny looking."

It happened.
It's almost happened so many times, but today, it actually happened.

"Mrs Hilarious!"

Today I heard the same thing 5 times: "Thank you for choosing my child for the choir."

There was no choosing. It's primary school - nobody should be turned away. Everyone who wants to sing can sing.

We'll learn together, practise together, and sing in the Albert Hall together.

Except maybe me. 😊

Thanks, I've added it to the list. :)

I reckon if you don't know, then you'll know who might know.

I've googled, asked in bookshops and extensively discussed it with Gemini and XhatGPT, who both made stuff up.

Please help me find this book for my friend, Michael.

Yes @sanjeevbhaskar.bsky.social!
Going into a new year, let's celebrate kindness.

Happy Christmas everybody!

We added a 30 minute weekly assembly that teachers don't come to & they do a 30 minute lunch duty once a week.

General feedback is that they enjoy that time outside with the children, lunchtimes run more smoothly, & I definitely prefer leading assembly without the rows of grown-ups at the sides!

#SpotifyWrapped is out and there are no surprises.

I've had the same favourite band since I was 15.

"You shine under pressure."

What a happy birthday.

Happy birthday to me, the school account has had a repost from Baroness Floella Benjamin!

A little bit of after-dinner silliness.
