A plea. If you’re going to write a curriculum for children aged under 5, please teach children under 5. Not for a lesson or a day, but for a substantial period of time. Then try out your curriculum with the children you teach. I’m getting a bit fed up of people producing
I have now taught Reception two years and half a term. Not long really. Most of my career I taught much older children. Here are some observations on the most important things I have learnt. I did one of these threads last year too but I've learnt a lot more since then.

Our members are disappointed in your insulting pay offer @RishiSunak. That's why they voted overwhelmingly to reject it. We need a much better offer to end this dispute! #PayUp #SaveOurSchools

The National Education Union has announced its members will strike on Thursday 27 April and Tuesday 2 May. This is after the union rejected a £1,000 payment on top of this year's pay rise, a commitment to reduce workload, and a pay increase of 4.5% for next year. 1/2
I think there needs to be a realisation that children in primary schools are just that, children. Many 6 yr olds can’t remember what they had for breakfast let alone the specificity of detailed knowledge. I’m not seeking to dampen expectations but realism is needed.

It's time to act @GillianKeegan! As a member of the @NEUnion, I took action this week to #SaveOurSchools. It's time for you to get around the table and offer the pay rise teachers deserve. #PayUp
World Book Day is well underway with our Book Swap Shop! We’re really excited to be able to get our hands on some new books to read!
Our members do not want to be on strike. This was a really hard decision for our members to take. They want to be in the classroom, doing what they do best – teaching and supporting our children and young people. But it’s a last resort. We have to #SaveOurSchools. #PayUp!
