Very much enjoying the Manchester hospitality for my wife's work do.

Question: where is the best place for breakfast?

Lots of new people turning up tonight. This might be a good place to start

Watching #panarama about the house by house roll out of smart meters.

Seems fibre broadband is doing the same. My road had the pavements dug up three times across a number of weeks as they connected three houses separately.

What a cost inefficient process

The NFU published these food selfsufficiency figures from the govt. It fell sharply from 1984 when farms first got some exemption from inheritance tax - before that they had none. And it fell again after 1992 when they got 100% exemption. No evidence here that tax breaks boost it

My daughter has joined a football team and now I spend Sundays discovering parts of Bristol I never knew existed.

I'm really enjoying it. Football is not bad either.

Conservative tax policy will see 9million paying higher rate tax by the time Labour Chancellor ends it bit.ly/3NQ3dQX as headline might have said!

I hate hate hate hate these chodes who think we need to get to Mars to save humanity. There are zero scenarios that could ever make Earth as deadly as Mars. Zero.

I’d love if we went to Mars. Of course! But for science!! Not as a “backup planet.”

I knew a biologist--still do technically, she's not dead--who went on a field expedition and came home with a NASTY code. No symptoms but absolutely DEVASTATING congestion. She was talking like a plugged-up cartoon character for months. Nothing helped.

The OG turnaround academy trust stops turnarounds Outwood Grange drops 'central view' of education - and even pauses taking on the toughest schools

There's a number of schools that could give advice on how to focus on community based schooling.

Infographic on the chemistry oof air on a plane. Airliners pressurize onboard air to make flights more comfortable. In the cabin, the air pressure is 75.1 kPa, compared with 101 kPa at sea level. Cabin air is a mix of fresh and filtered air and is renewed up to 30 times an hour. Filters remove bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Airplanes cruise in the lower stratosphere, where the ozone concentration is slightly higher than at ground level. This increases cabin ozone levels, which can cause headaches and breathing problems. Many planes use devices to convert ozone in air into oxygen before it enters the cabin. A chemical system produces the oxygen provided by masks that drop from an airplane’s ceiling in an emergency. Pulling the mask down releases a firing pin from the oxygen generator cylinder. This release ignites a mixture of an oxidizer and iron powder. The heat from burning iron decomposes the oxidizer, a process that produces oxygen. The generator produces oxygen for 15–20 min.

"In the unlikely event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the panel above your head." But where does this oxygen come from?

This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social takes a look at that and some other in-flight chemistry: bit.ly/3XBs9RZ

The 'What To Do' Cycle and Other Secrets of Positive Classroom Culture (w/ video) - Teach Like a Champion One of the challenges of good classroom management is that it’s often practically invisible- it’s happening off stage or on the margins of the stage; it’s usually built into habits and expectations. W...

One of the most important things to get right as a teacher is also one of the easiest things to overlook: giving clear directions and making sure students know you'll notice whether they follow them.

For the first time, the Sutton Trust can reveal school by school information on how secondary pupil intakes reflect their local community.

Our accompanying analysis looks at which local authorities in England have the most and least socially segregated schools ⬇️🧵

Great starting routines post that I'll be sharing at work! Thank you Peter

That's a beauty!

BREAKING NEWS: OFSTED one word judgements are to be scrapped with immediate effect. Sub judgements will stay for now within reports.

Subject specific pedagogy, linked to the knowledge being taught is being overlooked, still, in the generic ways learning and even behaviour is being understood. I have an example:

7. What Future for the National Curriculum for England Does a Knowledge Based Curriculum Serve the Interests of the Ruling Class?

“A traditional knowledge based curriculum does not, in my view, serve the interests of the ruling class. In fact, it might be more true to argue that the ruling class in fact has a vested interest in denying popular access to it.” open.substack.com/pub/tobymars...

Short female teacher? Look no further for some behaviour management tips… (also suitable for other heights and genders) A question was recently posed on twitter, looking for advice on behaviour management - and that there were not many blogs or books on this subject written by women. I have also seen in various quarter...

A new academic year is upon us 😄

Following summer conversations about #BehaviourManagement, here is my #edublog contribution - written a few years ago but still relevant whether you are an #ITT, #ECT or experienced #teacher needing to brush off the summer cobwebs.

Have a great first week back!

Loved my first go paddle boarding in Bath with the family in beautiful weather!

Turns out the instructor is a PE teacher and the other dad was a retired physics teacher.

Making the most of the last week!

Saw this shared by the IOP elsewhere, and as they're not here yet I'll share it.
Seems a useful way to clarify what the axes are on an oscilloscope trace. #ChatPhysics #ITeachPhysics

I remember advising you not to spend so much time on resource formatting...shows what I know!

Great work Andy, well deserved!

I love this, so not a new phenomenon then! Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy, but in good company!
