Looking to connect with other KS1 teachers so I can ask about writing. So far, the children’s writing is not great. Spelling is poor and many children are completely forgetting sentence structure. Just wondered if I could check in and get some advise from fellow teachers.

Physically, mentally and emotionally tired this morning. So much so that it’s been extremely difficult to get up! I wonder how many other workers would take a day off when they’re exhausted where teachers will just slog on

With parents evening nerves this week, I’ve been waking up at 4am. By the time the kids come to school I’ve been awake for over 4 hours. And then parents evening until 7:30. Tiredness has turned to fatigue and I’m crawling to the end. πŸ˜”

I often think about handing in my notice. I can’t help but have these visions of a life where my job didn’t make me so anxious and make me feel so incapable.

Any year 2 teachers (or writing leads) who have advise on nailing the capital letter/full stop pandemic in my class? We spend time every day stopping and checking we have them but, when it comes to independent writes, it’s like the Wild West

In the wisdom of our curriculum lead, we have to teach plants in January. Anybody know of ways we can show plants growing even in the winter? I’m completely stumped.

Does anybody else just spend so many hours stressing about where their class is not achieving? I literally wake up at 4 agonising because my class are low for writing; trying everything I can to help them but nothing works and I can’t stop worrying about it.

Any year 2 teachers out there looking to connect? I’m an ECT 2 in Year 2 and I have nothing left to offer when it comes to writing!! Thinking that I might have no children working at by the end of the year and was hoping to see some examples/talk strategies etc

Don’t suppose anybody has an exemplification materials for Year 2 writing? I’ve got the examples from the gov website (β€˜Kim’) but would love to see some others. TIA

For me, teaching is a double-edged sword. It’s the thing that brings me so much joy (I couldn’t imagine doing any other job) but it also brings me so much agony (as I sit here on my last free day with stomach ache and anxiety). I never can quite figure myself out sometimes!
