"UK primary class sizes are among the biggest in the industrialised world, larger than Mexico, Turkey and Colombia - OECD"
Is it finally time that we can get past the daft idea that class size DOESN'T impact the quality of education?

I'm a secondary maths teacher and I say the primary curriculum is too full of maths.
There should be far more space to explore more broadly. We have plenty of time to cover enough maths if students arrive knowing the basics really well.
Just posted new blog on Bluesky and not (yet) on Twitter. Be interesting to see engagement. Will I fold and put it on Twitter too? Please help me avoid the temptation by reposting here!

An immensely important article about recognising effort, appreciating hard work and acknowledging that outcomes shouldn't always be measured in the same way.

Fantastic list! Check it out 👀📚
Nizrana Farook has done it again with this beautifully written, fast paced story. Selvi and Lokka will undoubtably captivate the hearts of my Y4/5s with their friendship. An adventure from start to finish. 🐆 #kidslit #primaryedusky #reading #primaryenglish #KS2 #readingjourney

I bought ‘Roller Girl’ on @jonnybid.bsky.social recommendation. It hasn’t stayed on the shelf long enough for me to read it! Which make it an absolute winner! 📚🥰 #kidlit #KS2 #graphicnovels #primaryedusky #primaryenglish
Another great book for Y5 upwards. Covers anxiety, self-acceptance and growing up @edusky.bsky.social #eduskyprimary #primaryedusky #readingjourney #readingKS2 #KS2

Rooftoppers for us. Its been a while since I last read it to a class, so looking forward to it. 🎻
Reading, spellings and times tables esp in year four. We dropped the termly project.
Oh, I have these! Good shout 🤣

Inspired by discussions on Bluesky earlier.

I really like this! The mini white board definitely has its limitations, but the visual connections this makes are really powerful. Thanks for sharing - added to the ‘to-do’ list 😁
👋🏼 Hello

Haven't read that one yet. I'll pop it on my TBR list
A Kind of Spark. You could hear a pin drop. Thought-provoking and relatable. Y4/5 love it. 📚

KS2 are starting this years ready journey with these fantastic books. Mixed Y3/4, Mixed Y4/5 and Y6. Our class structure changes every year which gives us chance to cover a vast selection of books. Recommendations always welcome 💕📚
Glitter boy is absolutely fantastic! 💕
Starting with ‘Rooftoppers’ for my Y4/5 class. Year 6 are starting with ‘Once’ and Y3/4 are starting their reading journey with ‘Llama out Loud’ 📚
Great book - Y6 up. Tough read at the moment,but will provoke some good conversations
Love this!
