*Daily Tip* When introducing or discussing the British Value of individual liberty. "The granny who wasn't like other grannies" is a great book. It encapsulates the essence of this brilliantly. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* Using picture books can be a great way of engaging children in discussions around British values: use "The Election" can help with developing children's understanding of democracy and how it works in Britain. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* When teaching British values, picture books can be a great way to engage children in a discussion about them. "This is not my hat" is brilliant for talking about the rule of law. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* When working on British values, picture books can be a great way in. "something else" is a book most teachers know, but it can be a great way to talk about tolerance and mutual respect. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* When children are distracted or not engaged with their work, my favourite question is "what should you be doing now?" Most children then get back down to work. You may get an "I don't know" which means you can reinforce & guide them back to the task. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* When using mini whiteboards to check pupil understanding, make sure you ask more than one question. Sometimes pupils can get a question right by chance. Taking the time to ask a second question can save you time later in the session. #YouGotThis

You have made it to the end of the longest term of the year! Make sure you switch off properly over the Christmas break and make sure that you put the 'work bag' completely out of site at home! Have a well deserved rest! #YouGotThis

Friday Top Tip for Teachers: see your non-teacher friends! It’s so easy to gravitate towards other teachers, but don’t forget to make time for your friends outside the profession as well. Full episode of the ECT Podcast from the University of Worcester available now. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* Your induction tutor should be carrying out your first progress review point. It is a simple form, please note that it talks about being on track -not a pass/fail. It also gives you space to share your thoughts. Take the time to do this. #YouGotThis

This time of the year is tough. Moir's research shows the process that teachers go through in their first year of teaching. However you are feeling at the moment, know that it is OK. Make sure you reach out for support if you need it. #YouGotThis

*Daily Tip* A puppet can be a great way to discuss situations that arise in school. I once had a puppet that had pushed another puppet over because they wouldn't let them play. The chn gave some helpful advice & came up with strategies that they/the puppet could use next time.

*Daily Tip* All this talk of questioning has inspired today's daily tip. Use this question grid to pose higher order questions, better still help children improve their questioning skills. "What is..." is a simple Qn stem but "how might..." gives for deeper reasoning. #YouGotThis

If you are thinking about your classroom for September, having a worry monster for pupils to share their worries with can be hugely powerful. You don't need to but one - in Blue Peter style - here's one I made earlier! #YouGotThis
