Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

They MUST pass to every player only once before taking a shot, as if they're in a KS2 PE lesson.

A tumbleweed is rolling through my online shop today. I create colourful prints, cards, homewares and T-shirts inspired by architecture, music and mid-century design. Please have a look at my shop and repost to help spread the word. Thanks! gailmyerscough.co.uk

Absolutely cannot beat the views in Scarborough. I went to uni there and I miss seeing the sunrise from The Esplanade over the Spa!

I'm not sure it does. I would write in that tone and using similar phrases. I worry sometimes that when I'm writing something formal, such as a job application, the reader will think it is AI!

I've been having this, and when the electoral roll came last week, I realised I'm on the open register! Not sure if that has anything to do with it?

I was so startled that I cancelled it straight off without reading it... So that'll be useful in an end-of-the-world scenario, won't it?

Just watched it and I've had to trawl through the posts about Gladiators to find someone else who thinks this! Not fair at all! Fuming for Finn.

Yes! No one learns anything. The ones who believe they're Lionel Messi continue to think that, as do the ones who think they are rubbish.

We have to understand the link between the SEND Review and the curriculum review. A developmentally appropriate Primary curriculum built from EYFS up is essential to help us meet needs - we can’t be all things to all people - but doing curriculum properly now will support inclusion.

They also sound surprised every time someone does a trick... As if they weren't expecting that to happen. I wish I had someone commentating on my lessons like this.

I love the commentary at the Winter Olympics... One of the commentators at the snowboarding has just said, "Watching that trick if you're a judge is akin to watching The Shining when you're home alone." What does that even mean?!

Completely agree. I couldn't have taken it. Not this week, haha.

It would have genuinely upset me!

Stephen T @mrtprimary.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

This was a very interesting read. I teach KS2 and find it very similar. I think 'banning' a certain type of feedback outright can often lead to less effective feedback because teachers get bogged down in following the policy, not responding to the needs of the child in front of them.

I'm 33 and I still feel like this. I feel like the games are in the moment and people taking pictures stops me from being properly care free.

I'd be really interested to hear people's thoughts on this:

I honestly don't know why we need LLMs. You're right, the beauty about computers is that they're not human.

Question: If learning isn't about transferring things (words, experiences etc)into long term memory, what is it?

Stephen T @mrtprimary.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

We had a big push last year on ensuring that our retrieval isn't simply a pub quiz. Sometimes we found we were getting into a positive feedback loop, where children got all the retrieval correct in lessons, but we were shocked later on when they didn't apply it to any other contexts.

Stephen T @mrtprimary.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

But what's dangerous is that it's so convincing. It's essentially like talking to a friend who doesn't really know an answer but believes they do.

Stephen T @mrtprimary.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

I think it is all to do with memory, as you say. But I also think that we've had such a push on sequencing knowledge in primary schools that we sometimes forget other things that need to be explored within the memory too - trying and failing; expressing yourself creatively; judging and taking risks.

Rookie error: today I wrote 2/7 x 3 as an example in maths. Oh, the hilarity.

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

Will we look back at this in a few decades and think, "Ah, THAT'S when we started to be enslaved by the robots that we'd built?"

Recently, BlueSky seems to be getting far too much like Xitter; people posting confused, angry replies without properly reading a post, and/or a linked-to article. Please everyone, let’s try not to do this - or we will just end up with yet another social media hellscape.
