I've just created a task board for my class for world book day, they can choose which activities to complete after our live lessons. Astonishingly, this took me 15 minutes due to being one of Potter's biggest fans!

"The best we can hope for in the next few months is mitigation, but the government is hinting at quick resolution. Schools are being set up for failure: any lost learning is not going to be recovered in a few months of extended days" This week's leader tes.com/magazine/artic…

Modelling is a highly effective method of teaching. Here's how to get it right ⬇️✅

#edutwitter #teachertwitter what do you do if you know parents of a child you teach breaks lockdown? Do you leave it or mention something to parents?

Wish I was any good at taking pretty notes but nevermind! Scribbles on town post-it notes will have to do. #transformteachingandlearningthrouhgtalk is SO GOOD. So many practical activities and rooted in research. #edutwitter #teachertwitter

After the year our children have faced, i don’t think constantly telling them they have ‘fallen behind’ or that they will lose their summer holidays is the best way forward.

Every single school day, morningchallenge.co.uk offers the opportunity to explore a new country, landmark or geographical feature. We look at maps, locate borders, talk about climates and search for photos. My group’s geographical knowledge is flying. Give it a go. It’s free!

Anyone else looking forward to setting up tables in class however they want?! Sitting in rows and pairs stifles so many opportunities for creativity and collaboration #edutwitter #teachertwitter

I’ve said it many times and talked to Department for Education We need ONE standard teacher application form 🙋🏻‍♂️

However much we wished novels written in the past shared today’s sensibilities (or not), changing them is wrong. How can it be okay to posthumously alter an author’s work? What will we lose? Won’t we be constantly re-writing history? I know it’s become trite to quote 1984, but…

#BBCQuestionTime Please remember I pointed out Stanley Johnson’s wifebeating in response to Ken Clarke who chummily portrayed Johnson as a good chap. Why are viewers criticising Fiona Bruce not Clarke? Is that not sexism?

If you haven't read mary beard's "Women and Power" yet, hurry up, circulate it at the Thanksgiving Table and stuff it in the Christmas stockings. After the holiday madness, you may have more time for her weightier tomes, like "SPQR" theguardian.com/books/2017/nov…
