Every. Single. Word. Of. This. Thank you Polly Toynbee. Please be kind to secondary #school #teachers: their workload over the next 6mths (with no extra staff, no extra pay, #covid-related stress, and no doubt much bashing from the media) will be hellish. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Says it all.

⭐️If a student requires a coloured overlay for remote learning and a screen, they can run or install the following for free. It changes the colour of the whole screen. aurelitec.com/colorveil/wind… #onlinelearning #Dyslexia #edutwitter SENCO Chat Network

Comments in the thread show this is not a one-off. For me, it's not about taxpayers' money: it's that children are being deprived of much-needed food. Shocking. Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP: investigate Chartwells Schools and get kids the food they deserve and need. #FreeSchoolMeals

A million thank yous to Aurelitec for creating the #ColorVeil app - my primary-aged pupils will now be able to remove the glare on their computer screens, and choose a coloured tint that makes the words clearer to read. #Dyslexia #visualstress #happyteacher

You will definitely be hearing 'The Wellerman' harmonies stjosephsprimary just as soon as singing is allowed again! Just the thing to lift our spirits 😊. #SeaShanty Original - Nathan Evans Bass - Luke Taylor Fiddle - Mia Asano youtu.be/dzDWmwQ0c7Q

What did MLK teach us? "It is very simple: When you see something that is not right, something that is not fair, something that is not just, you have a moral obligation to say something, to do something. You cannot be quiet." (The late Rep. John Lewis) #MLKDay 

Hey Stephen Flynn MP, I'm not clapping for heroes tonight because they deserve more than clapping. I hope you and your colleagues will work to support an improved wage for frontline low-paid caring staff. That's what they deserve. #ThunderclapForCarers

"Just 5% of teachers in state schools said that all their pupils had access to a device, compared with 54% in private schools." Clear evidence that live synchronous lessons will widen the attainment gap still further. theguardian.com/education/2021…

Thurday afternoons bring P567 children stjosephsprimary hub various socially-distanced covid-safe opportunities to enjoy #expressivearts. Lots of flying balls initially!! But mastering this Nutcracker Trepak dance has improved everyone's coordination and rhythm. #AberdeenLearns

Materials science and structural engineering on a gloriously sunny Tuesday afternoon! Fab teamwork from all the P234 children stjosephsprimary hub. #AberdeenLearns #science #STEM

Construction engineering, project planning, teamwork, and leadership skills ... all in an afternoon's work for the P567 children stjosephsprimary hub. #AberdeenLearns #science #STEM

St Joseph's has its very own ice hotel!! Architects, engineers, construction crew, surveyors, interior designers...there's an amazing future ahead for the P567 children stjosephsprimary hub. #AberdeenLearns #science #STEM #DYW

Our lead surveyor stjosephsprimary hub spotted a construction fault that could have caused a serious masonry accident. He expertly removed the defective section before carefully rebuilding it. This work takes skill, attention to detail and perseverance. #AberdeenLearns #STEM

Utah has rejected teaching consent in sex ed. They teach refusal skills instead. That puts all the onus on the refusee, leaves the initiator responsibility-free, and doesn't stop assault - 7% of Utah 14-17yos have been raped. #sexeducation #RSE #SV theguardian.com/us-news/2021/f…

Inspiring to be reminded that our job is to help children learn to be comfortable about taking risks...because that's the way to thrive. So grateful to be stjosephsprimary where everyone understands and teaches the flip side: kindness and compassion. #AberAutonomy #resilience #DYW

A member of staff stjosephsprimary P567 hub had a special birthday today. We spread out in the playground at least three metres apart and sang her happy birthday ... in four different languages! 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 Happy birthday, Mrs R. 🎂💐 #AberdeenLearns #ModernLanguages #1plus2

P7s stjosephsprimary have been learning about human rights. They looked at WW2 photos to spot missing rights; and illustrated a right of their choice. Through her representation of children's hair, this artist beautifully celebrates inclusion as well as human rights. #AberdeenLearns

Teachers, LISTEN UP!!! This thread explains why kids with an absence of executive function skills can't start tasks, and what might help:

You are made in the image of God. You have insurmountable worth. If anyone tells you anything else, they arent telling the truth.
