🪲 MG Leonard is a wonder! She spoke for one hour non-stop about her love for reading, beetles and ancient Egypt.

Both my kids have loved her different series so far and I can't wait to read her new book to my Year 3s!

Interesting to get the break down of the survey I mentioned in my previous post.

😅 Turns out Primary teachers would overwhelmingly forego a 20% pay rise if it meant they could retain a full-time teaching assistant!
Thanks to @heymrshallahan.bsky.social for sharing with me.

It's the #Refutree time of year! Go get yours at St Mary's church in St Andrews, Bristol.

I forgot to answer the #TeacherTapp survey yesterday...

BUT very surprised at this result.

53% of teachers who responded would rather a 20% pay rise than having a TA 🤯

Our year group TA is essential to supporting the bottom 20%. Especially w/ 31 kids in the class and high levels of SEND and EAL.

🕯Really emotional vigil tonight at College Green, to mark the UN's International Day on the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls.
✨️ Some moving words from survivors, as well as Cllr @emilyclarkebristol.bsky.social and PCC Clare Moody.
💓Grateful for these women leaders fighting #VAWG

Let's get a @labouruk.bsky.social candidate for WECA who has a track record of supporting cultural venues.

It's not just promises and vision. It's also a history of delivery in partnership.
