Teacher twitter is full of amazing, inspirational teachers. Don’t forget the teachers who inspired you; created you and made you who you are. Love to the retired teachers, those who don’t use social media, who have shaped next generation teachers 😍😍 Ideas recycle.

The children peeled and chopped vegetables for our soup with @Mrs_P_77. We cooked it on the fire, describing it as we did so and reminding eachother about keeping safe. With a side of warm bread, we then gathered around to chat and enjoy eating what we had made together.
