“The awards cut across every aspect of the operation of the school...advising teachers to “introduce yourself at the start of the year using your pronouns and encourage students to do the same.”

This is compelled speech. #Teachers contact your unions.

‘in her evidence to @Commonswomequ
earlier this week Stonewall CEO @Nancy_M_K claimed: “one of the things that’s really important to say is that we don’t advocate for the removal of the single sex exemptions.” ‘

This is untrue.

.@Stephen__Adams writes about @bbcbitesize Pronouns article

We have made a formal complaint to the BBC.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…

Tanya Carter says : “The BBC is promoting a damaging ideology to children. In so doing, they are breaching their own guidelines on editorial impartiality and the 1996 Education Act, which stipulates that an education provider cannot promote a political ideology to children”.

@bbcbitesize

@bbcbitesize deleting your tweet & then retweeting with replies disabled is not a solution to you promoting political ideology to children. This is against new @educationgovuk guidelines. We will be writing to @GavinWilliamson & @BBC to complain. @Baroness_Nichol @Tanni_GT #LGBT

@educationgovuk

One of our supporters has successfully challenged her children’s school on their use of the Genderbread figure in #RSE. This graphic goes against latest @educationgovuk guidelines.

@educationgovuk

The new @educationgovuk guidelines state that external resources used by schools must be ‘evidence-based’ & that ‘materials which suggest that non-conformity to gender stereotypes should be seen as synonymous with having a different gender identity should not be used’ #edutwitter

https://mobile.twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1172817613996601344

We thank her for sharing this so that other #parents & #teachers are able to adapt for their own use. We are a grassroots movement who rely on sharing skills & resources. Please see previous thread incorporating concerning use of the genderbread graphic.

Clear explanation of what the new @educationgovuk guidelines mean for schools. By @heymrshallahan for @tes.

Safe Schools Alliance support good quality inclusive #RSE & #PSHE for all children. This must be biologically accurate, #safeguarding compliant & correctly represent U.K. law. The materials we have seen from many providers do not do this.

It is the responsibility of each individual school to ensure the suitability of any resources that they use with pupils. They must also comprehensively consult with parents. We will be releasing more guidance shortly on which organisations do not comply with new guidelines.

Whether you’re remaining, returning or starting in your Reception class this academic year, we have got a thread to signpost some of our free EYFS maths resources available…

This blog examines a range of potential mathematical opportunities within play including subitising, counting, comparing, classifying and regrouping: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/lets-talk…

This video is great for Reception & KS1 alike to explore adding one more and finding one less to a range of numbers. Opportunities to explore number magnitude, order of numbers & practise lots of vocabulary.

Just under a year ago, Laura Dell focused on the skills needed to tackle the KS2 SATs Reasoning papers by looking at ‘representing’ and ‘re-presenting’ maths problems: Read more here: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/ks2-sats-…

This KS2 game focuses on place value, decimals & rounding & can be easily adapted to add support/challenge. Despite the simplicity, there are lots of opportunities for pupils to apply other mathematical skills &through careful questioning:

Talking of gaming, this video is packed full of multiplication games to revisit and sharpen up the facts secured in LKS2:

Reactivating and building on from learning from year 1 is going to key and this blog includes simple but effective ways of using games involving dice, dominoes and cards: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/dice-domi…

This video includes an excellent collection of fun KS1 games - all targeted to improve children's number sense. Lots of opportunity for consolidating language & assessment:

Providing a smooth transition between the EYFS & year 1 will be more important than ever this year. We have created a thread for teachers, NQTs, newbies, returners &anyone interested in the wonderful world of Year 1 maths…

This blog first published in 2018 remains popular, with practical examples of how to develop manageable and meaningful mathematical recording in KS1: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/year-1-ca…

This is great for Rec & KS1 children. This is a tug of war style game where children get the chance to explore adding one more and finding one less to a range of numbers. Opportunities to explore number magnitude, order of numbers & practise vocabulary.

Year 4 can sometimes feel like the ‘inbetweeners’ of primary. Not quite UKS2 but miles away from KS1. It's a great place to be though & we have created a Year 4 thread to support teachers, NQTs, newbies, returners & experienced LKS2ers… #primarymaths #NQT #edutwitter #mathschat

The NC expectation for the end of year 4 is recall of multiplication facts to 12 x 12. This blog provides practical advice to support the recall, and crucially the understanding, of the times table facts: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/starting-…

The video demonstrates how the remainder game can be a fun way to explore what happens in division. Children explore the number in each group (when sharing) or the number of groups (when grouping) and remainders.

Who's in year 3 this year? The step into KS2 can be a big leap for some pupils. We have created a Year 3 thread of some of our best bits to support teachers, NQTs, newbies, returners & experienced LKS2ers…

As pupils move into KS2, gaps in a true understanding of place value can creep out. This blog examines how securing regrouping ten ones for a ten when counting up, and regrouping ten ones for ten when counting down, can support more complex calculations: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/cant-calc…

Fancy a game? ‘How to place race to 100’ is perfect for reactivating knowledge from year 2 and providing an invaluable assessment opportunity:
