Who doesn’t love a bit of Kapla?

If it's helpful to schools and teachers, below is the link to a year's worth of picturebook assembly suggestions that have a focus on empathy, diversity, equality and inclusion. They're all books I've used and loved. #edusky padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

Illustrator Axel Scheffler surrounded by book covers he has designed.

P1/2/3 had a great time drawing the Gruffalo along with Axel Scheffler on #AuthorsLive today as part of our #BookWeekScotland focus.

I wanted to be Mrs Smith when I was 3 (my nursery teacher), but my all time favourite with Miss Brewin in P1 and P3.

Random thing that helps me is a woolly hat pulled down or worn with an eye mask. Blocking out light and making myself warm takes the edge off.

An interesting read that has given me a lot to think about. My brain is buzzing with ideas of how to try something similar in my own school.

This has really got me thinking. Thanks for sharing!

This looks really interesting. Can I ask if you ever invite the children or is it purely individual choice? How do you evidence the learning (or do you even need to)?

There is a good Rockin the Standards 7 times table song. It’s catchy and every class I’ve used it with have improved their recall (admittedly I play it on repeat 🤣)

I have a least favourite - does that count? (It’s the 8 by the way)

How to combine literacy skills and cybersecurity awareness in P1/2/3 this #BookWeekScotland From rhyming words to passcodes, this book covers it all.

It’s heartbreaking! Why is this being allowed to happen?

My class are reading @scattyscribbler.bsky.social ‘s fantastic “Rivet Boy” and learned all about Andrew Carnegie from her Time Tunnellers video. We made a pact that if any of us become very rich we will build a library in their village.

Me too! I was tempted …for a split second 🤣

Copenhagen is a beautiful city. Halloween at Tivoli is not to be missed.

Audiobooks for driving and doing housework. Paperback or e-book for regular reading. Occasionally a hardback.

That teachers are either 100% like Miss Honey or 100% like Miss Trunchbull.

Soooooo much interest and growth in this starter pack today. Thank you to everyone who's been sharing it and welcome to my wonderful fellow Scottish educators to this lovely place.

I heard myself saying “It’s like Blackpool illuminations in this house!” the other day 🤣🤣🤣

Me please - new to Bluesky and loving the positive ethos.

There are such a great range of fantastic children’s books around! I had a reluctant reader recently who downloaded the audiobook of our class novel because he was desperate to know what happened next.

One of the SEND kids in my school (not in my class) came running to give me a hug and a smile then told me he missed me the day before.

I love it when that happens! My class read “The Titanic Detective Agency” by Lindsay Littleson last year and a couple ended up travelling to Belfast to visit the Titanic museum.
