Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful!.

As the year draws to a close, I'm sharing my Y6 reading folder (though there are some random bits in like some Y2 lessons) for free, which is full of Y6 whole class reading lessons. Plus my (very long) blog on how we teach it:.

I'm too hot in shorts and a polo shirt, so solidarity for anyone being made to wear a tie in the name of faux professionalism.

At this time of year I've never been more appreciative of working in a school that doesn't insist on me, someone who has to follow children around for 7 hours a day & constantly crouch down and move around, wearing a shirt and tie, or a suit etc simply for being a man who teaches.

Does anyone know where I can find our historic GLD? I can’t see it on the DFE portal where everything else is.

I went to see this in the cinema the week it came out, immediately after being diagnosed with ADHD and autism at the doctors. There's a core memory for you. Had a big mac meal on the way home.
THE TRUMAN SHOW was released 27 years ago this week. Jim Carrey’s first foray onto a dramatic role, and acclaimed as one of the decade’s great satires, the story of how it came to be will give you the feeling you’re being watched…. 1/46

This week we started a project in school to commit to making play and play time as important a part of the curriculum in our school as english, maths, science etc. It's a really exciting project to be leading on and something so different from what I've done in leadership so far.

This was my personal favourite part of the KS2 reading SAT. A true testament to the effort, editing and thought that goes into the assessments.
