When a toddler has a tantrum sometimes you’re best just ignoring them.

Remember - this is not Barack Obama we are dealing with.

Lots of chat about the *last* English royal to be arrested, but who was the first? The Anglo-Saxons typically bumped off their rivals, so I'll start the bidding with Odo, bishop of Bayeux, arrested and imprisoned by his half-brother, William the Conqueror, in 1082.

One of the greatest. Privilege to see them live in the early 2000s - this is beyond brilliant.

Today me and my 16yo are watching the entire Lord of The Rings Trilogy - if only the eagles had given them a lift to Mount Doom this could have been a short watch!

Really enjoy this approach to teaching Germany Q6 and Q7 for OCR B by studying a range of sources, getting students to think and then using them as hinge questions to check whole class understanding of which is the best answer and also identifying potential misconceptions. #historyteacher

Every year, students say they can't read my writing on feedback. This year I've used a mail merge to import the data direct from excel - it means they are clear on the feedback and I retain the feedback for my own reference. Game changer #historyteacher
Well done Chris P. Bacon! #notarealstudent
