I always pick up annuals in the post Christmas sales. They are so inviting to reluctant readers! Have got them for as cheap as Β£1 in previous years.

Thanks for your reply. I was wondering more about summarise fluency assessments like the Collins Assessing Fluency for example.

Hello #Edusky can you help me with something? How often do you assess children’s fluency of reading in Key Stage 2? #EduSkyPrimary

I hate that I’ve been getting Black Friday deals emails for over a week and now it’s Black Friday these companies are all emailing me to tell me it’s Black Friday today. I remember when it wasn’t a thing and now it’s not just a day, it’s a whole bloody fortnight!

Absolutely! I find it works so well with having little ones

I love that Wednesday is my day off. So many people are like β€˜wouldn’t you rather a Monday or Friday?’ But honestly Wednesday is so good. Gives me chance to stop and pause the hectic-ness and I feel like I get two β€˜Friday feelings’

Tomorrows to-dos: lead KS2 collective worship, coordinate VR experience workshops, SIAMS prep, English lead local cluster meeting, staff meeting, governors meeting. I’m already looking forward to going to bed tomorrow night! 😫

Really? I mean it’s almost funny it’s so completely ridiculous and tone deaf. So getting rid of the judgements was just… so they could replace it with something worse. Okay.

Why we got rid of executive job titles - and why you should, too As part of a shift to more agile ways of working, Dixons Academies Trust has done away with executive job titles and pushed for a more self-organising system of delivery for its communities, explains ...

This article is a bit of a word salad but reminds me of when I stepped back from a curriculum leader role at a previous school. My role was readvertised as the same job but with β€˜executive’ in front of the title. I was baffled. Same job, same pay but β€˜executive’? Hated the word ever since.

On the whole feeling very optimistic about going back this week. I was on mat leave last year and not going back for September was weird. Love the fresh feel of the start of the year- new equipment, everything tidy and organised and not feeling utterly exhausted!

When you think first day back is just a TED so you can relax a bit longer

Then you remember you’re leading the training.

One of the hardest things to do as a parent is continue when you feel ill. I’ve had a raging cold all day and had to stagger through the day with my 5y/o and 1y/o. Safe to say I have been counting the minutes till bedtime so I can collapse into bed 😫

3/ I know I’m very lucky to have six weeks off to be with my children and not have the juggle of work around them being off (how do people do it?!) but I think we need to normalise just needing time for yourself and feeling okay about it!

2/ my 5 y/o or by myself have been so needed. I’ve been able to recharge and spend time with my eldest 1:1 which we haven’t done at all since her sister was born. I still feel such a pang of guilt every time I drop her off which is ridiculous because she’s thriving at nursery and so happy there.

🧡 Mum Guilt
1/ I’ve struggled a lot with mum guilt these last four weeks. My youngest (1 y/o) is in nursery 4 days a week normally and it’s year round so we still have to pay over the summer. I decided to keep her in 2/3 days each week. I’ve felt so much guilt but these days either spent with

I think the one thing that stood out to me is the number of problems you have to resolve- didn’t anticipate it! But it’s so much better to give yourself time to think rather than react too quickly. Every day is different but I love the variety of the role. Thanks! Sure you’ll smash it!

Welcome! I’m a PT DHT in a small one form entry school. I’ve only been in post since Summer 1 so still new to the role. One thing I’ve found is that sometimes it’s okay to say β€˜let me think about that’ and not try to solve every problem on the spot.
I love it so far! Hope it all goes well for you!

Love my new planner from TK Maxx. I’m too reliant on the outlook calendar and need to get better at writing things down!

My husband has now told me four times in the last couple of days that the Premier League is starting this weekend. Everytime he gets the same reaction…
