And so it begins: I wonder why they’re out at night? I wonder why the goblin is sad? I wonder why they’re not on the Saltmarsh? I wonder why there are beads and shells? I wonder why they’re not in the picture? Tbh they noticed more than the ITT students did haha! @openingdoors.bsky.social

Art week? Linked to a brilliant text? Lots of oracy? Let’s go overhear what’s happening on that salt marsh…

I very much enjoyed creating this. Language, vocabulary and imaginary play are at the heart of this new unit. @mrstopcatteacher.bsky.social @juliangrenier.bsky.social @edfinch.bsky.social @justimaginecentre.bsky.social

Picture the scene. End of term. Year 1. Tired, hot, grumpy. Graveyard shift 2.30-3.00. Print ‘make your own book’ templates. The ENTIRE CLASS sit and write and illustrate. No stress, no “I can’t” they write and it’s bloody fantastic. I love my job. 🥰

We’ve not paid a fee yet. Amazing. Can’t wait for the “big” signings as what we have already is completely amazing! 💙🤍💙 #bcfc

The amazing Patrice Baldwin came in to my school today to deliver a training day on using thought, oracy, and drama for writing and it was superb. Any of my educolleagues after a decent inset then I heartily recommend her work! www.patricebaldwin.net

@openingdoors.bsky.social Y5 have been working with The Magnifying Glass. They’re really proud of their efforts as they found writing using imagery really challenging at the start of the year.

Jay Stansfield comes across as the most loveliest, calmest and humble of people. I hope he smashes a hattrick today. £20 million down the drain… #bcfc

I’ve really supported my colleague’s wellbeing this week by singing the Jay Stansfield song loudly in the staff room about 6 times a day.

I was completely fortunate to be invited to co-lecture on English instruction using poetry at my local Russell Group university. Proof you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I should have planned some work tonight but I was just too tired. Tucked up reading The Fury.

@openingdoors.bsky.social Fabulous session again, Bob! It was wonderful to hear the progression between you and Julie. I’m excited to rethink how I’m inspiring my EYFS and Y1 writers now!

I loved Whose Line is it Anyway as a teenager. Gutted to hear about Tony Slattery.
