Keeping schools open for children’s mental health sounds good until their bubble inevitably gets popped within the first few days and they have to unexpectedly isolate for 10 days, rather than being prepared to remote learn for 2 weeks and then go back to school. Which is better?

We’ve started to plot our curriculum on a world map (each colour is a different phase). It’s not finished yet & will definitely evolve, but it’s been eye-opening to see a) we cover a lot more than we thought b) we still have hugely neglected areas. Diversifying in progress!

My grandma (dad’s mum) passed away 2 weeks ago. My dad had given her this ring when he moved out (1983) and he’s now given it to me! Not usually my style but I’m a sucker for anything sentimental 😭

This is only my 8th year of teaching but it has, without doubt, been the most difficult term of my career yet. If my HT and colleagues weren’t so wonderful, I’m pretty sure I would’ve thrown the towel in.

Well this is bloody exciting! For any KS2 teacher who teaches English, go get a copy now. Example texts for each non-fiction genre from each year group, including annotated versions and example checklists. SO HANDY @Grammarsaurus1

My dentist asked me if I’d ever considered moving “up” to secondary school teaching and how I’d get the extra qualifications for that 😫

Punctuation game - by altering the punctuation, how many different meanings can the children make from the sentence? (Can anyone think of any more for this one I always use?)
