Hi - I teach Y6 and plan lots of WCR lessons that you are free to use from the attached Google Drive. Three a week (mostly) link to our wider curriculum but are useable as one offs and two to our class novel. It's a live folder so as I plan they go on.

I promise no parent wants to read two paragraphs per subject about exactly where their child is in maths and English and science. They want to know - are they happy, safe, looked after by a teacher that knows them well, achieving their best, trying their best and have friends.

As a long serving Y6 teacher, can I say how annoying it is when people act like Y6 is the holy grail of teaching? Like it’s some wild promotion to get in there? All year groups are hard. Y6 actually involves the least ‘new’ teaching. Imagine TEACHING SOMEONE HOW TO READ!

Really simple answer - don’t. Loads of kids can’t come in cos they’re actually unwell and so missing a reward is like an extra punishment on top of ill health, and then the majority of the time the rest of attendance issues are down to parents, so why take it out on the child?

The other way to improve the reading sat would be to take the time element out of it. They can either read and understand it or they can’t. What’s an hour got to do with anything? Absolute silly buggers. Let them do it till they’re finished if you want to know if they can read.

An ECT in our Facebook group has been told she ‘lacks the teaching spark’. I can’t think of more utterly useless, unproductive and, quite frankly, utterly unkind feedback to give to someone. Feeding back to someone struggling is hard but they should always leave feeling supported

I think perhaps as a profession we expend far too much energy into trying to encourage, enforce and track that pupils read at home. Probably more useful to imagine ‘what would I do if none of my pupils read at home?’ and then start just doing that every day.

Always thought it’d be impossible to top the likes of residential tired/SATs week tired/parents’ evening tired/autumn 2 tired, but this is something else. Absolutely dead on my feet here.

Popped into class at wet lunch and they were all around two tables making a plan about who would show him what - pegs/toilets/football/how to use his iPad etc etc etc. Very sweet. People usually make assumptions when I say I have so many boys in one class but they are so lovely.

A couple of years ago I made a '100 Books To Read In Y5/6' list & it was probably used by 100s of teachers. I've updated the list a little today and written about why if you're interested. It's editable so you can tailor to your class, and completely free

By the way, if you teach reading and don't know about , get yourself on it. Needed texts/non-fic on Baba Yaga, industrial revolution, space and global warming in last five mins. All found straight away and all FREE. FREE! The Baba Yaga is even a comic.

Parents evening always reminds me of the time I gently told a parent that her child in Year 6 was behind and would need extra support. She went ballistic and said 'well last year's teacher didn't tell me that!' Probably a fair argument usually. But I was his Year 5 teacher.

Taught a lesson on volume today. It was rubbish and nobody got it. Hadn't secured area anywhere near enough. Twitter can be v 'look at this great stuff', which I love, but it's important to acknowledge when it goes wrong!
