I've had the idea of making flow chart to find prime numbers to 100 in my head for a while, so I quite enjoyed putting it together and trying it out!

They are writing this together in such a cool way! Sandwiches and interpretive dance! Generally they tell it to each other and scribe, but sometimes each takes over and just dives in and goes wild!

Holy SMOKES they are breaking the 4th wall and having fun with it! Messing with their reader’s mind! They have an UNRELIABLE NARRATOR! He’s woken up in intensive care with a new name and only Frodo knows why! SK is confused but gleeful!

In happier news, Odysseus 'escaped with the cheese and those who survived' - and may all our quests end with the achievement of such solid goals. #AcheesementIfYouWill

For my next trick I will be telling this joke on repeat for a decade
Every night for bedtime stories, my son insists I read the label on a can of WD-40. He’s really into non-friction.

I have replaced Year 4's tatty desk labels with lovingly designed new ones. They are hurling themselves on the floor with 8-year-old horror. Grasping the air, clawing the carpet, weeping, grieving. 'RAINBOWWWWWS! NOOOO! THE ONLY GOOD RAINBOW IS IN NORSE MYTHOLOGYYYY!' lol nerd.

Oh - and the woman who is famous for being a doctor, and her husband the squiggly haired judge as messy as a monkey, are on a quest to find a sunset for the queen. They are shockingly romantic - they LOVE each other! Gasps, giggles, hidings of the faces…

One child tried to eat my marking stickers. One child announced that writers die LOTS. (‘Once each!’ I said, knowing that was statistically wrong).Frodo-child and Mini-Stephen-King are collaborating on a Highly Relational Horror Story and it slaps beyond all awe or comprehension.

I wrangled a creativity slot where we do origami, pop-up cards, friendship-bracelets etc. Today we made paper fortune-tellers. The spookiest-minded child filled his with mild dooms and horrors. "There's only one OK one," he said. Turns out it was: *YOU HAVE A GOOD INNER SELF*

It looks more like the mushrooms learned to dance. I, for one, welcome our new disco overlords etc. https://t.co/PZxXv6psGd

Scientists grew mycelium into the electronics of two new robots and then watched how they moved in response to light. This could be a new way of controlling robots.

Last year I wrote a story in 21 short bite-sized parts and released one each week. Some children were hooked and it was a great way to get them reading and excited about stories. I am more than happy to share an episode each day in this thread if anyone is interested.

Just looking over the 'all about me' sheets... Things to know about me: 1) I like drawing! 2) I like animals! 3) I like heat! Things I love: All school subjects and rollercoasters! This is me: Disturbingly dystopian artwork, many 'AAARGH!'s. Is this... gleeful?

Creature of Havoc will always be my favourite but this was the one that started them all... Heavenly, heavenly books.
