Possibly one of the most useful things in my classroom – the countdown timer! And as it’s half term, a software update is due #Arduino

My Sixth Form didn’t know about the old lady who swallowed a fly. They do now 😂

During today’s Year 12 A-Level Computer Science lesson, several students walked-in half way through. “We failed a test in Economics so we thought we’d enrol in this instead” 🤯

Rage Against The Machine didn’t specify which machine they were raging against. It was probably a printer. In a school. Three minutes before a lesson!

First A-Level Computer Science lesson with my new Yr 12s today. I suspect there will be fewer of them on Monday 🙄 It’s not a “subject of last resort”

Due to the heatwave and summer break, this is the first time in over two months I’ve worn a suit. Can’t say I’m enjoying it, but at least my trousers still fit (just!) #Backtoschool

Thoughts for today… “Where’s my lanyard?” “What’s my password?” “Why has this random wall appeared?” “What did this sludge in the staff room fridge used to be?” Happy #BackToSchool Day

Popped into school yesterday to drop off some stuff for Tuesday. Got home, couldn’t remember if I’d logged off, so drove all the way back. Obviously, I had logged off #WastedTrip

One of my students was two marks away from a Grade 8. We asked for a remark – he got his two marks, but lost one somewhere else 😩😩😩

Trying to do my self assessment tax return. HMRC reckon I owe them 145% of my pre-tax profit. Time to find an accountant 🙄
