Absolutely loving this erudite & reflective exploration of what it means to be English - only problem is that my husband keeps 'borrowing' the book. 2 bookmarks. He is really immersed in the narrative too...

“So it's finally happened. As the last qualified teacher in a Nursery in our MAT, I'm being replaced by someone with a Level 3 in childcare from September.
Obviously our poor little 3/4 year olds with very high levels of need in a deprived area don't need a teacher
I am gutted”

Gervase Phinn: 'a cracking read: entertaining, sharply-observed and warm-hearted' 'should be read by all those involved in the teaching of children'

In #geography we explored the conditions within refugee camps. We used Maslow’s hierarchy to determine whether they meet basic needs or rights.

I was intrigued by political cartoons & how these could be used as #retrieval tasks, worked well ☺️

I’ve read the government’s response to the Select Committee’s Inquiry into Ofsted’s Work with Schools, and it is the most pathetic excuse for can-kicking inaction I have ever seen. It is an absence of a response, a vacuum of responsibility, a void of accountability…

This is absolute tripe. Has to be one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read on Ofsted. Single word judgments provide 'a gateway for schools to step forward'? Oh please...

Look what arrived! A brilliant children’s book about showmen! A lovely gift from Colleen Colleen-Future4Fairgrounds. It’s a great story. I loved the galloper & Grandad!

I have 4 copies. One’s for Pumpkin, but if you’d like a copy, I’ll post one to you, just DM.

Spread the word with a RT! 👍

A few days to go until the rather excellent Conditions Are Different After Dark is released.

Owen W Knight's latest #novel explores the dark secrets of quaint English villages. The result: an excellent contemporary #horror with homage to The Wicker Man.

‘Teenagers are exhausting’: Teacher and author Carol Atherton on why her profession deserves more respect theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

Quick catch-up…day 1 of our Awareness walk for PSPA - a very muddy day made so memorable by all the amazing people who turned out to say hi. Half way to our fundraising goal already - justgiving.com/page/moth-and-…

Well, who would have thought? Children who lived near Sure Start Centres before starting school did much better 11 years later at GCSE (especially those from low income families).
They worked and helped the poorest. So naturally the Tories trashed them.

Today, #ReadingLessons makes its way out into the world! It’s about the books we read in school and the complicated relationships we have with them, and about my journey as a reader and teacher.
