We are looking at completely changing our marking and feedback policy. We have decided on the positive elements already but looking for advice on marking errors? How? When? Why?? 😅
Celebrating the end of January with a rocky road Christmas pudding! ❤️🤍
Does anybody know how to get back the counter on the #Goodreads?! I need to know how far behind I am with my reading challenge throughout the year. I only work well under pressure!
Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.
Does anywhere in the UK host a primary level spelling bee?! 🐝 Nothing too scary or serious!
That’s all I can find so I think you’re right!
Can you see the end of KS2 data for spelling for 23/24 or do they only publish the data combined with grammar? ✍🏼
I started at a new school in September. This week, I started in my new role leading reading, writing and spelling! We still have a whole school English Lead and I’m so excited to support her and get back to leading what I love! 📚
I have gained over 100 followers in two days even though I haven’t posted for a very long time?! So here is my reason why! I have moved school AND home recently and my main priority has been making all my books happy in their own new homes 🥹
Serious post:
Look after yourself this year.
Doing ‘what’s best for the kids’ does not (and *must* not) necessitate the compromise of your health - mental and physical.
It just isn’t worth it. *You* matter.
Assert your boundaries unabashedly.
You got this!

Rewatching Gilmore Girls is my annual, back to school tradition 🧸🍂🤎

Have always wondered why ‘for’ is a coordinating conjunction when it basically means ‘because’, but ‘because’ is a subordinating conjunction. Anyway, found this explanation and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before 🤯 grammar is mad

Apart from points 6 and 10 which I understand… I am fascinated by these and want more information!
Turns out the best way to have an argument-free family holiday is to spend time outdoors. Without the family 🤪
My fourth read this week! 4/5 ⭐️
This was such a clever book and I think UKS2 would love it. I have quite a few books written by Ross Welford at home and I’m excited to try some more once I’m back 📚
Now, I’ve tried to read this multiple times and I just can’t gel with it!
Really enjoying this! 📚
We went to a small French village party this afternoon and ended up racing around the fields in military vehicles 🤩 🇫🇷
I know lots of people use “Rose Blanche” when they study World Wars but here is a blog of other picturebooks I would use, all are true stories, wonderfully told and illustrated. They are powerful and moving and about the small actions that make a difference. smithsmm.wordpress.com/2023/12/29/u...
Go you!! 🙌🏼
