Trialling a ‘reading journal’ instead of the standard reading record to make it more enjoyable & independent for my class. Have a list of activities & ask them to complete at least one for each book they read, and just to keep track of when they read then the rest is up to them!

Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful!

Our world is literally burning 💔 and teachers are still laminating for displays, buying cheap plastic off Temu, being generally wasteful for the sake of aesthetic. I always say to chn that they CAN make a difference. That instead of people thinking that they can’t change…

You must be humble enough to accept that there are always going to be learning points, whether you’re a classroom teacher or a senior leader, one assistant head told Tes when reflecting on learnings from this academic year

I put a riddle on the board every morning as part of my morning tasks in the summer term.
Yesterday’s: what has teeth but cannot bite?
A pupil (dead seriously): *puts hand up* like, a dead human?
I was honestly wetting myself
Any fellow English leads willing to share how they structure writing across the school?? Looking at our curriculum and how best to lay it out and would love to see what others are doing that works well 🙏 especially in KS1 as I’m less familiar with how it works!
Seen the Yellowface hype everywhere so requested it from the library. I’m 10th in the queue 😬 can I wait that long or should I just buy it?! (I also hate having hardbacks on my bookshelf 😫)
3rd time reading Kick to a class and today one child pipes up, ‘Are all the chapters named after Elvis songs?’
Please tell me this is true @MitchAuthor?!
