And so it begins: I wonder why they’re out at night? I wonder why the goblin is sad? I wonder why they’re not on the Saltmarsh? I wonder why there are beads and shells? I wonder why they’re not in the picture? Tbh they noticed more than the ITT students did haha! @openingdoors.bsky.social
Art week? Linked to a brilliant text? Lots of oracy? Let’s go overhear what’s happening on that salt marsh…

Picture the scene. End of term. Year 1. Tired, hot, grumpy. Graveyard shift 2.30-3.00. Print ‘make your own book’ templates. The ENTIRE CLASS sit and write and illustrate. No stress, no “I can’t” they write and it’s bloody fantastic. I love my job. 🥰
We’ve not paid a fee yet. Amazing. Can’t wait for the “big” signings as what we have already is completely amazing! 💙🤍💙 #bcfc
The amazing Patrice Baldwin came in to my school today to deliver a training day on using thought, oracy, and drama for writing and it was superb. Any of my educolleagues after a decent inset then I heartily recommend her work! www.patricebaldwin.net

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply *repost* this post for your chance to win. I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).
Jay Stansfield comes across as the most loveliest, calmest and humble of people. I hope he smashes a hattrick today. £20 million down the drain… #bcfc
