It’s the first week back at school. I spotted five boys from Year 5 sitting around a table in the playground at break. “This looks interesting, boys.”
“We’re studying Shakespeare, Miss. would you like to join us?” 😍#reasonstoloveteaching

When children return to school, maybe don't ask them what they did in the holidays as some may have done very little, ask them what they didn't do...
This Summer holiday, I did not
ride on the back of a yak across the Himalayas...

Yr 6 have made softies for their Reception buddies to aid transition.
R class drew pictures& yr6 turned the design into a toy 🫶
It’s been a challenge : pattern cutting : fabric selection: stitching:stuffing : decorating- They are now worrying if they are good enough for them?

Always remember: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So whatever else you do, please keep reading books with kids, and helping them to read. There is nothing more important! #literacy

Quick tip for folk working alongside Year 6 colleagues:
They love being told that 'pressure is a privilege' during the Summer term. It'll really motivate them. 👍

I took classes to the school library for the first time today since 20th March 2020. Bubble libraries were great but getting back in here is the best feeling. Children had time & space to browse & share recommendations & first chapters. Every child deserves a #GreatSchoolLibrary!
