MrsP-x @mrsp-x.bsky.social · 20/11/2025We had an actual snow day today! School was closed! We never close! It was a blessing having a day to process the term so far and get loads of jobs done that needed to be done and were cluttering my mind, but not high priority. If I was in charge, I’d give every teacher a day mid-term just for this 080

MrsP-x @mrsp-x.bsky.social · 11/10/2025I don’t profess to know much about politics, and long ago lost all faith in any party to to put ‘the people’ first, but I do feel more hopeful watching and listening to Zack Polanski of the Green Party. I wonder if this might be the change we need 🤷♀️ 010

Reposted by MrsP-xPru Madeley @prum.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I think we need a debate in this country about what education is for. We're lost in a spiral about driving up standards whilst knowing many find school a terrible ordeal. Why is that? Learning should be joyful and a continual part of life It's not just about turning out cogs for the economy. 33911

MrsP-x @mrsp-x.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Hello 👋🏻 I’ve just taken over as reading lead and am trying to get my head around best practice in Y2 as they transition out of phonics. What does your reading structure look like in Y2? Do you read in small groups or do you move to whole class reading? Any advice will be much appreciated! 000
MrsP-x @mrsp-x.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Just listened to the recent podcast on Mind the Gap with @emmaturner75.bsky.social and @mrswilkinson.bsky.social about disciplinary literacy in primary.

Reposted by MrsP-xChristopher Such @suchmo83.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Here's the pitch: Almost every primary school I've encountered is worried about the effectiveness of their approach to teaching reading after phonics and whether it provides pupils with engaging reading experiences. My book offers a tried-and-tested alternative. 11810
