How often do you assess children’s fluency of reading in Key Stage 2? #EduSkyPrimary03 Dec 2024 11:07 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcfiq4occz2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3lc4lauuojv26I hate that I’ve been getting Black Friday deals emails for over a week and now it’s Black Friday these companies are all emailing me to tell me it’s Black Friday today. I remember when it wasn’t a thing and now it’s not just a day, it’s a whole bloody fortnight!29 Nov 2024 21:58 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc4lauuojv26https://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3lc4l3d2dxp2vUse a gif to show where you’re from [contains quote post or other embedded content]29 Nov 2024 21:55 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc4l3d2dxp2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3lbfionaoov2oI love that Wednesday is my day off. So many people are like ‘wouldn’t you rather a Monday or Friday?’ But honestly Wednesday is so good. Gives me chance to stop and pause the hectic-ness and I feel like I get two ‘Friday feelings’20 Nov 2024 17:41 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbfionaoov2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3lbavwsfbtc23Tomorrows to-dos: lead KS2 collective worship, coordinate VR experience workshops, SIAMS prep, English lead local cluster meeting, staff meeting, governors meeting.

I mean it’s almost funny it’s so completely ridiculous and tone deaf. So getting rid of the judgements was just… so they could replace it with something worse. Okay.15 Nov 2024 21:57 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lazenh6o3a2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3l3d6h2itic2bThis article is a bit of a word salad but reminds me of when I stepped back from a curriculum leader role at a previous school. My role was readvertised as the same job but with ‘executive’ in front of the title. I was baffled. Same job, same pay but ‘executive’? Hated the word ever since. https://www.tes.com/magazine/leadership/strategy/why-dixons-academies-trust-has-no-executive-job-titles?utm_campaign=1805480_20240903%20Tes%20Daily%20-%20Wednesday&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dotdigital&utm_content=1805480_20240903%20Tes%20Daily%20-%20Wednesday&dm_i=5NNY,12P48,L758W,4X70H,104 Sep 2024 11:01 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3l3d6h2itic2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3l33dpopnwr2cOn the whole feeling very optimistic about going back this week. I was on mat leave last year and not going back for September was weird. Love the fresh feel of the start of the year- new equipment, everything tidy and organised and not feeling utterly exhausted!01 Sep 2024 08:14 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3l33dpopnwr2chttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3l33dk7kj7b2hWhen you think first day back is just a TED so you can relax a bit longer Then you remember you’re leading the training. https://media.tenor.com/ntVl9CRFAQsAAAAC/comedy-awkward.gif?hh=372&ww=49801 Sep 2024 08:11 +0000at://did:plc:aohm2fic5nnapc26trruamtk/app.bsky.feed.post/3l33dk7kj7b2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/deputydiary.bsky.social/post/3l2d6mriaqu2vOne of the hardest things to do as a parent is continue when you feel ill. I’ve had a raging cold all day and had to stagger through the day with my 5y/o and 1y/o.

My youngest (1 y/o) is in nursery 4 days a week normally and it’s year round so we still have to pay over the summer. I decided to keep her in 2/3 days each week.
