Not read that. Are you enjoying it?
Ha! Know that well. These were lent to me so have jumped to the top of my TBR pile.
Have you read it since?
I've got that to read next. Hate it when you read a sequel without having read the book before. I've done it a couple of times without realising at first.
The Party by Elizabeth Day
This was a great read. Recommend.
I have no idea! Weirdly, I'd only commented on it this week and lo, the universe acted.
Somehow in my nearly 30 years of teaching I have never had to clean up vomit or poo*... until yesterday and today.
The glamour of being an AHT!
*never had to clean it up in work I should add.
😂😂😂
Ha! I've just been messaged by a colleague because her costume hasn't arrived and she knows I'll have something!
Thanks. We don't use RWI for phonics. I'm not a fan personally but I know lots of people use it.
Best spelling scheme? Well actually... best spelling scheme for teachers with not much knowledge, no desire to learn and is fully resourced?
I vote for this!
Marvellous. Because of course it's not at all possible that despite good leadership and governance a school continues to have low attainment due to the context of its setting.
It's not Roosevelt we're dealing with. Hell, it's not even Nixon.
Exciting! I got an Ancestry kit for Christmas. Should get the results pretty soon.
Yes! Said pretty much exactly the same.
Summer holiday. Isle of Wight or Scilly Isles?
You, Mr Smith, are a despicable human being!
Until Betsy saw... what?! 😫
Lots of children are in more than one group too so the whole thing becomes a bit pointless really.
Yes don't think on its own it would work.
Possibly. It'll make it hard to see which book is which subject though.
It's more than writing being legible though. Some children (in some classes) doodle. Pride in work is not widespread. This impacts on effort.
It is definitely the attitude but I'm thinking maybe if we have fancier books the children might take more pride. Obviously that alone wouldn't work so there'd be a constant push to reward children who are compliant etc.
We really need to improve presentation. Thinking about ordering exercise books with fancy covers next year. Has anyone done this and found it's not worth it? They're very expensive. Would plastic covers be better?
Ooh. Where was it?
Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?
I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...
Done 😊
Yes please! We love them.
