I’d like to apologise for the background noise in my first lesson - rain prevented the boys being taken out (a few shouts from the boys during moments of silence can be heard in playback) 😂😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
The @TrussellTrust has just confirmed that children & family use of food banks is at chronic levels, and we see it visibly in our poorest communities. Surely we can manage to fund 6 weeks of food vouchers for the most vulnerable in the country? Come on @10DowningStreet.

Really enjoyed being back in school today, especially with 2 members of my form 😊
Despite rumours they were on furlough, we just had an unannounced visit from @Ofstednews. It didn't go as badly as we'd feared. Here's the summary report. #HomeSchooling during #COVIDー19
2040 AQA “Medicine through time” is getting a new unit. New questions will ask students to compare UK and US response to coronavirus with Italy and Ireland. Was it all an OTT reaction to something “like” the flu or a valid early response to a global epidemic? #Covid_19
Congratulations if you: - turned up today - taught all your lessons - tried your best - didn't let other stuff bother you - did a solid job Special well done if you've done this for years. This is excellent!
Remember spending hours debating difference between learning goals, aims and objectives? As if it mattered.
***WASTE OF TIME*** 1. Students writing out learning objectives 🤷🏻♂️ 2. Differentiated learning objectives 🤦🏻♂️ 2. Target grade stickers 😐 3. Flight paths 🙃 4. Assessment tracking sheets 😒 5. Grading mini assessments 😱 Instead... TEACH TO THE TOP SCAFFOLD UP 1/2
OFSTED; “we don’t increase workload” “Re write a scheme of work” “Come up with a statement of intent” “Let’s change from 2 - 3 year KS3” “new long term plans please” “Mock deep dive coming soon” “Books need to look more curriculumy” “Ah, no - they are unintended consequences”
A Senior Rabbi was attacked in London yesterday. Corbyn phoned Rabbi Gluck to find out what happened and to empathise with the community. Rabbi Gluck said: “We deeply appreciate his concern. He sounded extremely genuine. He was the only party leader who called." *media silence*
Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on this flight? Dad: *nudging me* that should've been you Me: Not now Dad Dad: Not asking for an RE teacher to help, are they? Me: Dad, there's a medical emergency happening right now Dad: Go and show them how to build a biscuit church
Did you know that actor and producer Maggie Gyllenhaal also studied Literature and Eastern Religions at Columbia University before gaining recognition on the big screen? @Columbia @CU_Religion @mgyllenhaal #TRSpeople #religiousstudies #careers
Some weeks you feel like you've just "got by", but this week I know I've smashed it. @noelbakerlead pupils deserve the best and that's my mission. #KnowledgeIsPower #mastersofourfate
The argument that RE should be scrapped as people are less religious is deeply flawed. Do we stop studying Victorians as none of us are Victorians, or active volcanoes as there are none in the UK? Surely any subject is to teach students what they don’t know - so more RE needed?!

RE as a subject is properly underrated in primary do we not think. I’ve been doing Islam with my class and the genuine thought, care and inquiring nature of them has actually left me feeling all warm and fuzzy. Kids want to know about the people in the world around team!!!
