In June, my brother took his own life. Since then, we have been beyond broken.
Today, my incredible husband and some of my brother’s closest friends ran 25km to raise money for Mind. justgiving.com/team/matthew-…
There’s still time to donate 🤍

What about if their behaviour breaks the hearts of other children, equally or more vulnerable? Empathy and sympathy are what make us human, but that must extend to every child in our care. In order to maximise the safety and dignity of all, students who abuse others need to experience boundaries and consequences, as well as, but not only, understanding and care.

My eldest has joined a football team (and his dad is the coach!). Watching 6 year olds play football is genuinely one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in MY LIFE

This is largely excruciating nonsense. Children need calm, safe environments where the expectations are clear, scaffolded, and taught; where boundaries are upheld and consequences happen when they are breached-with support when required. Treating misbehaviour as a pathology, or children as China dolls, actually makes them less safe, more vulnerable.
Elementary school teachers, exhausted by how much class time is spent calming students down or responding to emotional outbursts? These 19 teacher-tested strategies can help young students learn how to regulate their own emotions. 😌 edut.to/3YD4QIE

Doing a home project with my 4 year old and he loved sounding out and writing ‘man’ on policeman and postman! @SWLiteracy @KineticLetters

Not all behaviour communicates something relevant, mysterious, or complex.

Very pleased to be part of Ofsted's external reference group for curriculum, teaching and assessment. I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences as a primary deputy head to help shape policy and practice.

Telling a child that their actions have consequences, and then ensuring those consequences happen, is *exactly* how you teach someone to trust you. Because you meant what you said.
Never holding a child accountable for their actions, never challenging, never penalising them, is how you teach them that you, and other people are inconsequential, and they are untouchable. Which is a terrible lesson to teach, and one that bears bitter fruit in adulthood.

I don’t expect any presents at all as a teacher. I’m so grateful for anything. However, my absolute FAVES are the trinkets kids make. I got asked what my favourite colour was and a boy in Y5 made me this. I adore it ❣️

We’ve used @baronbedford and @Edu_Meadows ‘Book Study’ as our inspiration to focus our task design. We’ve been blown away by our children’s learning and their retention of knowledge. More importantly, they speak so enthusiastically about what they’ve learnt!
