Serious post:
Look after yourself this year.
Doing ‘what’s best for the kids’ does not (and *must* not) necessitate the compromise of your health - mental and physical.
It just isn’t worth it. *You* matter.
Assert your boundaries unabashedly.
You got this!

Interesting read. There is such an inconsistent approach to school meals. I'd be interested to look at the impact of religion and culture on uptake.

What would you do if you found out there's a work WhatsApp group you've never been included in?

Interesting read. One that I agree with, but don't know if I could get it to stick!

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

My advice for any parent of a Y6 who wants to help their child prepare for SATs this weekend:
Go for a walk with them. Paint with them. Bake with them. Send them out with their friends. Read a silly book together. Watch a funny film.
You can't do 4 years of work in 2 days.

Weekends are a con...
It's just going from the job you are paid for to the job you can't afford to pay someone else for!
-cleaning
-dog walks
-sorting
-paying for things
-fixing broke things
-exercise
-food shop
-left over work you couldn't do in the week

Thoughts on mixing classes as they move up the school? My school (2 form entry) are considering it, but haven't done it before. Can't find any concrete research into it, only anecdotal reasons as to why it works/doesn't work. #teachertwitter

I’m going to say that having a box of pens/pencils you can hand out to students is less of a workload issue than running detentions for those who forget would be.
In the real world, the employer provides equipment that is needed for the job.

Never thought of it like this, but it's true. Thank you @naomicfisher for sharing.
This is a banner which was hung in at least three schools in York by the South Bank Trust, a MAT. It is harmful to young people and their families, and it is dishonest. This is why. 1/

Kids are the best 😄
Of all the gifts I’ve ever been given from students as a teacher, this one takes the cake:
A mug with my face on and my favorite phrase when I’m telling kids off!
