When some schools are taking the decision not to open on June 1st, what does it say about those who do? I trust my HT and my team - I just wish we’d never been put in this awful position. #education #teachers

Anyone got any good ideas on 1 week writing units using extracts for remote learning? For Y6. Looking around atm but feeling a bit stumped, plus not so sure about the copyright restrictions on using such extracts. #teaching #remotelearning #english

I’ve never known a class that didn’t want to play heads down thumbs up for eternity...is it work avoidance or is it just the best game ever? #primaryschool
