I am astonished that there's no Blackpool featured....

Well, I'm glad it all worked out in the end, and I learnt that queueing at a record shop isn't a myth, so it was a worthwhile endeavour all round.

#FridayFive I'm starting with the band then choosing the song. Although my faves change all the time!
1. Imagine dragons - bad liar
2. Oasis - masterplan
3. Phonics - a thousand trees
4. Rolling stones - paint it black
5. Bon Jovi - just older

I think it'll be that the 60 arrive towards the time it opens, so I would say at 8am the number would be significantly lower. This "logic" leads me to 7:30-7:45 arrival

Oh my goodness, that was even more than I could ever have imagined! What a gem, thank you for sharing

I need more!

Yes, I use it in my school (international)

Honestly, everyone is always so quick to blame the coot owner selling teeth, just because his business drowned, it's not fair really

I would go, but my view is biased because I get FOMO. The homecoming match was pretty much the first thing that I was sorry to not be able to do (because of moving abroad). I try not to tell family that!

Generally I see many of them progress naturally to be able to spot at least the simple ones but I think it helps the less confident, especially with little things like sign errors

Same, I changed from reverse chain to teaching only substitution so it was accessible to everyone. Some then 'see' it without the need for full substitution, but not all

Tea or gravy?

And they post on it!! So jealous 😔

At this point I would pray for abject mediocrity and only some moments of incompetence

I buy ceramic travel mugs. Very difficult to find on purpose without paying over the odds, so whenever I stumble across a reasonably priced one I stock up (cos I do occasionally break them). But they solved all the taste issues!

Lovely, thank you!

I'd love to see the baked bean optimisation problem if you don't mind sharing? I am just about to teach this topic!

Thank you both, for creating it and sharing it!

First get-up of the year and the weather has decided to be -1, I don't think I've ever seen it so low here! I suppose at least it's not windy and rainy... and cold mornings usually mean blue skies and sunshine later 🤞🏼

I enjoyed that! Not as cold as I feared

Only having 4 days in the UK but managed to squeeze in a little trip to Bloomfield road ⚽ 🧡 #utmp

Ooh I like this one!
1. We don't talk about Bruno (encanto)
2. The other side (greatest showman)
3. Life is a highway (cars)
4. Under the sea (little mermaid)
5. This is me (greatest showman)
#FridayFive
Hard to only choose 5!

My 12 year old said it was easy for him to say, and now he can't speak anymore 😂

Ha ha, love it!

Sounds right! Morning and evening the big coat is a must. Middle of the day a t-shirt and shorts is absolutely fine 😂

Brilliant blog!

Or, I forgot, you can make something using Edexcel Exam Wizard that is topic based and uses international questions, if you have access to that system

On "physics and maths tutor" website (pmt) they are, but the questions are quite old now. Still good though!

Fascinating scenes today - a Halloween flying ant day! Scores of them, although all suicidal it appears. Happy flying ant day, or happy halloween, to all who celebrate either
