    Have been in Y1 this morning - a group of children were making jewellery - one little girl made me an earring. As she’s working she looked up at me and said: ‘you’ve got really big ears’. She then whispered to her friend: ‘We’re gonna need more string.’ 😳

    Our Ofsted report has now been published… I think the bit I’m most pleased about is the mention of Dave the mammoth. files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/502075…

    I took a picture of this signpost over 5 years ago - have just driven past it again today... I still haven’t found the elephant, but the question it inspired is as relevant as ever - ‘If you had a signpost that pointed towards your school, what 5 symbols would you choose?’

    On holiday with teenage daughters - have visited a range of culturally enriching places - not a flicker of interest. Today we drove past Gok Wan standing on the corner of a street - have never seen excitement like it. 🤷

    #2. Pen licenses. You really don’t need a license for a pen. Just give them a pen. Please.

    Free resources alert! If you’ve heard me banging on recently about the ridiculous amount of objectives in the writing curriculum - here are some sets of Worked Examples for the stuff that actually matters...

    WHSmith have pretty much sold out of SATs revision books - must be the gift of choice this year. I think if I was a child I’d rather get coal.

    Our Year five classrooms are up and running with their new furniture - huge thanks to our amazing caretaker Andy for all of the flat pack assembly over the summer!

    Got the ingredients through for my daughter’s remote learning food tech lesson next week - have looked everywhere for the flour - must be some kind of speciality thing. 😳

    There was a lot of interest in our FS corridor last week - here’s what’s around the corner (animal sculptures courtesy of Y1!) If you’d like to come and see for yourself, we’ve got some open mornings coming up... eventbrite.co.uk/o/st-catherine…
