Had a fabulous weekend away seeing uni friends but came back with a bad case of RSV. Is it contagious 🤷‍♀️
Was sent back from school last Wednesday. Trying again today but still far from 💯. Going in easier than thinking about setting work 🤦‍♀️

Teachers, as we begin Black History Month remember, if you waited until February to include Black history in your curriculum, you’re not doing it right. #EduSky

A question for #EduSky
What does it mean when an UKS2 pupil can’t identify syllables in words? Dyslexia? Or something else?

Good morning and happy Thursday to all in #teacher5oclockclub
Is it just me or is there something in the air? Pressure before storm perhaps? Tempers and tantrums in the playground. Everyone seems to be antsy. 🤷‍♀️
The impending storm Eowon has a lot to answer for

Loads to do so. Recovered from staff party (just) that took place on full moon. Enough said🤦‍♀️🤣. Have a great Monday guys💪.

Yesterday we were being mindful & having a contemplative meditation to aid us in the last days of term . Blinds down & only the Christmas lights twinkling. Then a knock on the door & a policeman came in😱. Hope today is calmer 😂

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub . First time for Christmas dinner at new school. Was offered it yesterday but would have felt like Vicar of Dibley having more than one per week😂

Morning Paul. Report writing and full on timetable for next 3 days for me. Will need bucket loads of ☕️☕️☕️☕️

Yummy

Summary of conclusion :
Outdoor site specific spaces+rehearsal based techniques +Shakespeare = awakening of the senses+deeper understanding + more detailed writing+ enjoyment

I will let you know

It’s so important- now more than ever. My own (small) research was the combination of using outdoor spaces and exploring Shakespeare using rehearsal room techniques . The pedagogy is powerful stuff.
Keep writing 🙏
