They didn’t say “don’t rub out your answers yet”.

Even 15 years ago it was £2.50 for a bottle of water. The prices make me sick, especially since I know exactly what the cinema (used to) pay for the stuff. 3kg bag of popcorn was only a few quid to buy in and one tub had a tiny amount of that and would already let the cinema do more than break even.

As someone who worked in a cinema for 6 years, I’ve heard this line a hundred times (maybe more???)

30% is 45

÷3 ÷3

10% is 15

×10 ×10

100% is 150

I prefer rows so that pupils are facing the front. They also behave better in rows. Less chance of distraction.

I choose the seats, not the pupils. Even before the first lesson with a new class.

I prioritise ASN needs, then behaviour, then other factors.

Definitely agree with you.

Haven’t seen it. Have now. Thanks!

In reality, Wednesday is house assembly. So Thursday sometimes becomes “THe Geoguesser Thursday” (a few of my kids really like it) with Thankful Thursday running in the background.

Excellent. Thanks. I am having a great time doing:

Music Monday: a song they should know.
Tricky Tuesday: a card or maths trick.
Whereabouts Wednesday: pretty much geo guesser but no frills Google Maps version.
Thankful Thursday: write a thank you to a member of staff.
Funny Friday: I tell a joke.

Hello! Think my email is verified. When I set this up I tried to make things as locked down as possible but can’t really remember what I managed to achieve.

Can probably do it on an older board the same way.

No special software needed on the board. I have a Promethean Active Panel of some description. It’s one of the TV style ones.

At home, yes.

I could almost do this. My pupils have all been issued with laptops with touchscreens. Stylus pens are available in the school. Main barrier is that so many kids don’t bring their laptop or they haven’t charged it or it is broken.

Stories like this make me so angry.

Nope. Just let me teach.

Or tiny little chips and tiny little beans.

I think there should be a switch off date. Kind of like when old TV channels switched off. You get a few months notice. And then edutwitter just stops working because everybody leaves by then. I’ve got lots of DMs running with people I only know on Twitter so will need to shift them here too.
