Looking forward to spending the day at a @voice21oracy.bsky.social event in Leeds today. Oracy skills are more important than ever.

Thanks for this, Bob. My class are looking at war poetry this week and so I shall share it with them.

Fantastic news! We loved having you speak at our Trust the other year. Always great to see Opening Doors principles being used in the schools I visit.

Thanks for sharing. Love the analogy of Couch to 5K Writing.

Look forward to giving this a read. Writing4Pleasure is a reliable source of CPD. Am speaking at a Trust Conference this week about The Writing Framework.

This was recommended to me recently and I read Botheredness over summer. Made so much sense. Even as an 'old' teacher...

Someone I know has reinvented themselves as a poet, having never read a book nevermind a poem in his life. Is publishing a book of poetry on Amazon tomorrow. So easy to do on chatgpt. What is going to happen to creative arts?

Since the DfE's new writing framework seriously downplays the importance of emergent writing, I'm giving away a free copy of my book on mark making because it 100% *does* matter! ☺️ Like and repost to enter. Winner announced next Thursday. #EduSky #giveaway #freebie

Having spent the afternoon reading The Writing Framework, I makes a lot of sense and aligns already with much of what we do already. Food for thought for those involved in school improvement.

I enjoyed reading your article, even more so when I got to the example work from the child in my class. Thanks for using our work.

Will definitely be taking a look at this.

Didn't even use it much in lockdown.

Was at an English Conference where the Town End teachers talked about Readers Theatre. It sounded great at engaging all pupils.

Great to get outside today after 2 days of remote learning due to snow. Children enjoyed making igloos this afternoon. Hopefully finish them off tomorrow. With temperatures of -9 tonight, they're not going to be melting anytime soon!

Brilliant whole school poetry slam in the past couple of weeks with all children performing a poem they learned by heart. Celebration assembly featuring the winners from each class. Was absolutely amazing - confident delivery of a wide range of poetry. Will definitely do this again. School buzzing!🙂

I went on a York Ghost Walk a few years ago. It was fun going down all those ginnels and snickets, hearing all the spooky stories.👻

Thanks, I must check them out.👍

Fantastic. How long are they there for?

When I applied to be on the SLT with my school, I was the only candidate. I was still interviewed which was slightly odd.

Tyke Teacher @agentapostrophe.bsky.social · 29/08/2024

Good grief! I have been at my school since 1996 and there was an interview with the HT, DHT and two governors. And that was it. No tasks, no lesson observation. Think I had to do more to get onto my PGCE... Don't think I could ever get a job now as the interview process is so demanding!😅

I flew to Portugal by myself when I was 16. Had never flown before and was staying with a pen pal (those were the says). Had no mobile phone back then, only real money - no cash card for emergencies. Was delayed at Lisbon airport for 4 hrs on my return, with no money left. Can't believe I did it!

Excited to pre-order the new book by Onjali K. Rauf. Definitely need to make a school order too so that it can be shared throughout school. Such an important message.

What an impressive haul. I made blackberry crumble with lavender sprinkled into the topping. Delicious!

Tyke Teacher @agentapostrophe.bsky.social · 19/08/2024

Thanks, yes, exactly this. Gives another perspective to reflect upon our own practice. Have already implemented some things I have seen in a couple of schools. 👍

Tyke Teacher @agentapostrophe.bsky.social · 19/08/2024

Interesting to see what is going on in other schools and identify the tweaks needed to improve curriculum coverage and teaching. Do have a bit of imposter-syndrome at times.

Tyke Teacher @agentapostrophe.bsky.social · 19/08/2024

Shared this in school this year when you shared before. It's a great selection. Teachers chose a few books per class in KS2 - thankfully I had some sponsored read money to spend.

Think people are more interested in the image and posing rather than experiencing whatever it is first hand and just absorbing the moment. I have seen so many people at fantastic music concerts just watching it through their phones, even though they are near the front. 🤷‍♀️

@meganmoschops.bsky.social Good to see another advocate for No Outsiders on here.🙂

Just got a few chapters left of The Shadow Key. Historical fiction with a bit of a supernatural twist. Read a few like this over the past couple of years now.

Well worth signing up. We have used Opening Doors for a few years at school and attended a refresher course this summer. So inspirational and accessible for all pupils.

Tyke Teacher @agentapostrophe.bsky.social · 14/08/2024

Agree with your go-to. Glad to see people debating the use of the apostrophe. In my town, any street signs which had apostrophe whether or not it ended with s (St George's Parade etc) have been replaced with new signage which do not have the apostrophe in.

First time on #Bluesky - let's see what it's all about. Sounds like an ELO fanclub to me, would be great if Mr Blue Sky played every time you logged in.
