Now that the legs aren’t what they were and my golf swing has deserted me, I entered the only competition I had a chance in: competitive lesson planning! Hopefully third place gets me a bronze trophy for the mantle piece.

What an experience for our little ones at Bubbles, Perhentian Islands! We saw a green turtle lay her eggs, sponsored the nest and have just received videos and photos of the hatchlings.

I learned from #100Humans on #Netflix that smiling, even fake smiling, can help release endorphins and make you feel better. So, in PSHE children looked at and then drew images designed to make them smile. Our ‘scientific’ poll wasn’t too accurate - 21 students, 33 responses!

If you’re looking for some collaborative socially distanced artwork to do with the kids, this went really well in our first week back. We used MDF tiles that were painted with chalk paint, and pencil crayons.

I’m asking my Year 5 children to write a poem to summarise their experiences throughout the year. I really enjoyed making the example so I thought I’d share it.

Happy World Book Day. In case you’re wanting to share some books with your students during the lockdown, here is how I make my story videos.
