I’ve come to realise that in teaching, it isn’t so much what you’re teaching, how you’re teaching it or, sometimes, it isn’t even about the learning. It’s always about people. About the child 1st&you. Your warmth, your values, your you to them ✨ The rest will come if you #HWB1st

We should read to our classes everyday. Non-negotiable, uninterrupted&completely joyous devouring of a book 📚 News&digital stories all have a place, but it’s not a book. Just like in lockdown how no tech could fully replace a teacher. No screen can replace the magic of a book.

RELATIONSHIPS are so important. Thank you so much to teachers who are doing parent consultations via VIDEO CALL. I know you don't have to. I know there are other 'options'. But to see their wee classroom&have a face-to-face chat, well, it was just so 'real'. So meaningful ❤️

In my own experience, children just need the opportunity to write. Of course they need belief that they can, technicalities explored and chats about where next… but mostly, just space&time, to write- freely! Then they really can write to the tooth fairy without anyone knowing✨

Off to #SLF tomorrow with our buzzing probationer to show her the many wonders of education under one roof 🌟 We are lucky to teach in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 where autonomy and creativity always wins at the end of the day. Can’t wait to explore, share, listen and learn! #sfl18

Is there Room on a Broom for children like us? Some spelling, matching, finding and creating today 🎨We spent lots of our day designing puppets for a show we are putting on tomorrow. Our friend has to guess our story... we can't wait to perform ⭐️ #loveplay #lovelearning

Been really taking my career break seriously with my investigations into a Frobelian approach to the outdoors... 😉🌟❤️ In all seriousness though, freedom, exploration and (mostly) harmony 🌿🌱🍃 #BeingMe #RealisingtheAmbition

Heartbreaking. David was a friend to so many across the Commons. He was so kind to me & helped with a policy interest we shared. He was always interested to hear how you were doing & about family. Just a lovely man. My heart goes out to his family who have lost a great man.

My little boy is struggling to write ‘v’ … I think of all my adult ways to try to help him (“try an arrow” … “watch mummy” … “practise underneath” … “let’s make it with play doh”) … My little boy has a MUCH better idea - as always 😉👏🏻🥰 #BeMore5YearOld 🤩

I was listening to @neilgraysnp (rare statement) today on a call and he was saying how it 'wasn't good enough to simply go back to where we were pre-pandemic in 2019'.It stopped me in my tracks. Ain't that hard hearing but real thinking? Off to ponder this in my role/context 💭

The number of children living in poverty in Scotland is similar in numbers to 10,000 classrooms. Unacceptable. What’s our own individual and team roles in changing this? Let’s be unapologetically relentless with it. @scotgovCYPIC #CYPIC2021

#InternationalWomensDay Who says you can't be a woman and a leader? Who says you can't be a leader and a mother? Who says you cannot be a woman, leader AND mother? So many, DO NOT LET THEM ❤️ No matter how many times they try, get back up, talk the talk and walk the walk ✨

Holding and using a pencil... OR practising the same fine motor skill, with perhaps a bit more concentration on the process and (for this one!) more excitement about the outcome... cheerio bracelets for the win #SkillsInPlay #PlayFULLdays

YES ✨ I love these types of ideas when they add depth to a passage/text... because a read isn’t a read without a reader. You are part of it too 📚 #wlliteracy

Drawing ✍️ a text means internalising, representing & deepening understanding, AND it works! Here are 3 examples, give it a try with your pupils

'Starting Strong' ...I feel so passionate about the important role of just exploring stuff, of all kinds, from the start. Indoors,outdoors,toys,objects,junk, crafts...❤️And who said a 13 month old can't colour with a felt tip? I'm even ok with it all over the table, just #BeingMe
