Might be late to the party with this one but I love the Kindle update to have the cover of the book you’re reading as the sleeping display 🤩🤩
Duolingo maths is something my little hyperfocusing brain could do without 😅
The joys of working in a rural area on muck-spreading day
Why is every Wednesday such a nightmare?! By 7am I’ve worn my (printed) tshirt back-to-front for a whole gym class, accidentally suffered through almost 2x reps on the board (English teacher who can’t read - the irony), forgotten my shoes and had to go home - what’s next 🤦🏼♀️
Don’t like to make a habit of marking on a Friday evening so there’s no better time to end this week’s shift than on a solid 34/34 AIC mock response
🔊 PSA to those publishing KS4 revision resources online: ‘my’ is not a possessive pronoun
I’ll tell you something for nothing - I’ve been BLESSED with the shuffle this morning 🎧 🏋🏼♀️ 💃🏼
Cracks me up when I read peer assessment comments that look exactly like I’ve written them myself 😆🦜
SOW for Power and Conflict Poetry: Theme of War - breaking the anthology down into 'mini clusters' to diversify the set poems using satellite texts for language practice, contextual understanding, and development of unseen poetry skills #teamenglish dropbox.com/scl/fo/vt0x8xk…
New record of managing to remain unwell for the entirety of the Christmas hols 😭🤧😷
Four clues as to what I’ve been up to this weekend 📝 (In case you’re struggling to work it out - three of them are empty and one of them is sore)
Last night I dreamt of getting shouted at for supposedly causing an OFSTED grading of ‘inadequate’ by using my left hand to write on the whiteboard and not my right Psychologists, have fun with this one 😩
Just as I was starting to feel utterly depleted by the misery of mock marking that biannually seems to consume my entire life, I’ve read a truly compelling response to Q5 that is my momentary saving grace 🙏🏼
Attempting comp day with about 2% body battery left over from autumn term 💪🏼🏋🏼♀️ #teamunitedstrength #anythingbutlast

@HitchinTownFC @MarkBurke1967 The success he has built in those 11 years at the club should not be shadowed or forgotten about. A true club legend and it’s a huge thank you from us, for the enjoyable seasons. 💛💚
@Gwenelope Absolutely no need for 15 whole poems for example. Yep Lang is just teaching structures of responses and identification of techniques on repeat and applying it to each question. Absolute bag of shit

Full day of teaching, plus catch up at lunchtime, PLUS after school meeting. My eyes ache so much. I am literally CRAWLING to the half term holiday 🫠
- Unhappiest kids in Europe - Fewer children than ever reading for pleasure - School buildings crumbling - less than half the target of teacher trainees - Biggest retention crisis - Morale in the profession the lowest ever - Ofsted… The list goes on. They’re delusional
📈 89% of schools are rated good or outstanding, up from 68% under Labour. 📚 Our primary school children are now the best readers in the western world. ⬆️ Our secondary school children have risen from 27th to 11th in maths & 25th to 13th in reading. Well said @RishiSunak 👏
Your reminder that coursework was only removed for state school students. In private schools that do the IGCSE, English Language and Literature still has a coursework option.
In the light of Wales bringing it back, would you be happy if coursework was 40% of assessment in your subject’s GCSE?
I'm now making my comprehensive 'Macbeth' textbook available for free. It contains hundreds of explanatory notes and dozens of writing activities. lovetheclassics.net/product/macbet…
Silent reading time for non-fluent readers is simply time for them to perfect the art of turning the page at just the right moment to convince the teacher they are reading. Advanced 'maskers' also know to add an eyebrow raise at intervals to mimic engagement. @HertsEnglish
