Another fantastic experience from @Acclimbatize this week.
They entertained, educated and challenged sixty Y4s with a whole day of outdoor and adventurous activities. Everything was well-organised, well-led and exciting. Children had a great day and we'd highly recommend them.

The poppy waterfall and commemorative stones are in place as the children @RiddingsJnr learn about the soldiers for whom their classes are named. Remembrance service is at St James’ Church, 11th November starting at 10am. @embarkfed

A reminder for all our Yr5&6 pupils that it’s the @SwanwickHall Open Evening this Thursday. @TownsendRJS1 @eaton_rjs @HiltonRjs @ParkinRjs
If you're a primary school teacher, I'd *really* recommend downloading the (free!) Ark Sentence Mastery Sequence. It's very thorough and very useful - helped me sequence and think through my relative clauses lessons far better than I otherwise would have.

"Mitchell And Webb Are Not Helping", a new sketch show featuring @arobertwebb, @5teviem, @kfRedhot, @lararicote, Krystal Evans and me, starts NEXT MONTH on @Channel4! Here's a little taster to get you in the holiday mood.
A lovely thread that probably resonates with the majority of teachers. The poems celebrate the joyful chaos of school life then and now.
Definitely planning an Ahlberg assembly @RiddingsJnr for September.

Interesting, thinking about Allan Ahlberg and in particular how important his poem books were to me.
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that when I started teaching in primary (over 30 years ago), we all had our collection of books, poems and short stories…1/7

A few days delayed, but it's April, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop @ANewChapterBks.
