    I've gained a lot of new followers over the last few days so thought I'd highlight some of the resources that I have made that could help you all...

    Here is my #ReadingForPleasure Tube Map. Designed to help children 'stuck' on certain books/authors or genres find new reads. I have also made a page with each 'line' on with space for reviews to be stuck on (post it note size) #PrimaryRocks #ReadingRocks

    I'm hoping that 30 Pritt sticks for each class will be enough to earn me some new friends at my new school... Because if I've learnt anything in life, it's that friendship can be bought! #NewSchoolNewVibes

    Snow based ponderings: All schools should have a list of local Teachers. Ones that could walk to school if horrific snow/flooding etc. Then if teachers can't drive to the school that they work at, they can be 'snow-supply' for the day at their local school.

    ITS COMING HOME (note: 'it' no longer refers to the cup but instead pride in 23 Young men who have become fantastic role models for our kids)

    Look at this awesome present my TA got me for the end of the year (bloody royal mail delays...) She's taken a drawing of me by one of my class and had it turned into a keyring! Thanks @KirstyYarrow

    Here it is... The History Through Books Timeline. That was a lot harder than I anticipated! misterbodd.wordpress.com/2021/04/02/hisโ€ฆ As always, my resources are free... but if you have a spare couple of quid there's two options. -Buy me a book -Donate to @TrussellTrust

    My favourite #nobservation was a colleague teaching RE - 5 pillars of Islam. The feedback was "could you have differentiated by only giving the lowers the 3 pillars of Islam"

    Been working on this for a while but have been tweaking constantly. I felt I needed to get it out there otherwise I'll be tweaking forever... Lots of people moving Year groups or asking for book recommendations so I made this. 6 Books to get you started in each year group...

    Thanks to whoever it was that shared their bedtime box reward for their class. We're three weeks in and mine are loving it! A different child gets the box each Friday to take home for the weekend. Hot chocolate, bedtime books and a letter explaining why they deserve it!

    So, here is the KS1 version of my #ReadingForPleasure Tube Map. I've gone for genres instead of authors for my lines this time. It was impossible to narrow down the books and lines (I wish I had room for at least 3 more lines...) #PrimaryRocks #ReadingRocks

    For anyone looking of ways to keep up morale... I made a Where's Wally using our teachers. Nothing fancy, 30 minutes on Microsoft Paint. I know the kids (and staff) are going to love this!
