😲 what is this witchcraft?! Love this!!

This is soooo important! Human first.

Wow how amazing!

In KS3 we do a core test everyone does for which I aim to have negative skew and then the higher sets also do an extension test for which I aim to have a symmetrical distribution. That seems to work well for us in giving everyone tests appropriate for them but also allowing comparison effectively.

Monster pumpkins!

Ooh I've just ordered one to do with my son! Looks brilliant!

I have also done this. Quite enjoyed explaining it to parents after they had heard child's version of events. They went from outrage to apology very quickly. 😂 I think I also sent one out for "sighing" on another occasion!

Direct proportion with bin eating monsters and my 6 year old 😍

GENUINE fact (not a "bit"):
The date is 5^2 / 3^2 / 45^2

It is probably the last time in your lifetime where all three numbers are square (the next one being 1/1/2116)

Usually when we trusty second sops get drafted in to help out!

This is so frustrating!

My brain (every time I reach for one): the slotted spoon can catch the potato.

Just me?

I also used to have this issue!

I quite often walk into classrooms where teachers are teaching in the almost dark and haven't thought to turn the light on!

Ooh I saw this years ago. Plot was a bit superfluous as it was really all about the songs. I loved it and still have the T-shirt :-) enjoy!

Ah I see. Makes sense. Thank you. Clearly the college near us doesn't require enough 5s!

This is really interesting to me. What the main reason they resitting for the 5? I'm sure there's an obvious answer I don't know. Meanwhile in a Devon a student 2 marks off a 5: "don't bother with a remark miss I only need a 4". Gap between our 4+ and 5+ is massive.

Well Clovelly was lovely! Highly recommend a visit.

I think bath would be a must for us with littlees. 5 yr old has starting having showers sometimes but bath time has been really important for us as a family (bonding time not just washing time). No bath would definitely put me off a property.

Thank you for reminding me that it is our wedding anniversary today! Not the first time a post like this is how we remembered! @ridermeister.bsky.social 😂

Daddy kisses 😘

Just found out about this amazing foundation year course at @cam.ac.uk As a teacher working with disadvantaged students and an alumni I am absolutely delighted that this is an option for those that would benefit from it. Great work Cambridge! www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/foun...

Happy Star Wars Day! Today is May 4th.

May the fours (force) be with you!

Christmas (2024) is coming! The mscroggs.co.uk Advent Calendar is back for its tenth year! Behind each door, there will be a puzzle with a three digit solution. The solution to each day's puzzle forms part of a logic puzzle:

I'm being brave this half term and putting on a solo song recital. Rehearsal this morning and now I'm feeling excited! #Exeter #concert
