Clearing out junk from my attic and getting rid of some old resources. Tried explaining to T what this is!
7-8 o’clock shopping delivery, means that it’s all packed away by 8 and ready for Xmas! Genuinely brilliant.
Amazing way to finish the term. A whole school assembly with students performing to their peers. The sports hall was filled with Christmas cheer!
Performed in the school Christmas concert this evening! Was fantastic to play with the students. Such a wonderful evening! Ow feeling very Christmassy! Finishing off the evening with watching one of the best Christmas specials ever!
Watching the Santa Clause. A rapid transformation to a fat grey haired old man with a beard? Maybe he’s just become a headteacher.
At T’s swimming lessons tonight. There’s a lot of pressure as a swimming teacher
1) you’re teaching someone how to save their life or others
2) your pupils could die in your classroom
3) you have all of the parents of your students watching you teach!
Sadly so true. What can then happen is parent’s frustration at just wanting to help their child can be aimed at schools. We need to increase funding to all areas to support the most at crisis. This is affecting disadvantaged students disproportionately. theguardian.com/education/20…
Today went better than I thought considering it started with me being my son’s bag and lunch to school coat! 🫣
Woke up thinking about a spreadsheet which could be useful for school. Made it and let see if it is! Is that a normal premonition?
My first experience of the @OkehamptonCC Dartmoor Walk today. It’s a beautiful day for it and cannot wait to see the students do so well.
