Just heard today of another local school who had a child whose EHCP stated they needed their own room and two adults. But the funding was nowhere near going to cover that. They'd have needing building work for one thing!!!

In my class alone, 52% SEND, 17% EHCP, one of whom has significant medical needs, a life limiting condition and severe global learning delay.Y3 with one TA. I know what each child needs. I just can't provide it in a mainstream class and still teach the other pupils well.

I was very prepared for George to be a candidate for early eviction from #Strictly. But he's actually quite good. My teenaged son is delighted and gutted in equal measure. 😂

He's probably a bit out of his comfort zone audience-wise, as well dancing. His usual target demographic is teenaged boys, football fans etc. My son has watched him and he can be quite funny in his own territory.

I am definitely prejudiced against them, but accept I have a bit of book snobbery going on there. If I put this aside, then I quite like the Ben Miller 'The Day I...' series and the Tom Fletcher Christmasaurus books definitely kept my son a reader in Y5 and 6.

Very often forgotten. Or the expectation is that we suppress our own feelings because it's not about us, it's about the children. The same with MH. Lots of awareness for children, but staff MH isn't acceptable.

I think, for me, it was spending all my time analysing complex texts. It was almost as if my brain needed to read the most mundane drivel it could to allow it to recharge.

I remember these days with my son. Sadly, he’s 14 now, so fewer and further between. He still occasionally sits and reads though, so 🤞🏼 it returns to him in the future.

Although not as many interactions here, I do not miss the vile bitterness on ‘the other one’. I just wish some of the lovely people I followed there, were also here. 🦋

I had a similar experience after completing my Masters in Eng Lit. Took me almost a year before I could read anything more substantial than magazine articles. As an avid reader, I really began to worry I’d never get my reading ‘mojo’ back.

I am desperately attempting to recall the title of a novel I read in the 1990s about a town in a drought and a guy with the supernatural ability to call down the rain who discovers there’s a malign force preventing him from doing so. Written by a female author. Can anyone help me? #booksky
