Saturday night CPD #macbeth

After completing training with UK Parliament Education last June, today I received my official recognition. Now to keep growing student engagement year on year...

How could I not! 🥹 Hope you reach your target ❤️

Another day in London. This time with 14 students to do a people's parliament workshop. Thank you UK Parliament Education! A brilliant day as always. Also thanks to @SarBritcliffeMP for taking time out of your schedule for us. The Hyndburn Academy #educationwithcharacter #UKPTAGold

Wonderful experience showing the students of The Hyndburn Academy the importance of House of Lords with Baroness NewLove. Its exciting to see our young people engaging with democracy. UK Parliament Education #learnwiththelords #UKPTAgold #educationwithcharacter

Cried in the bath for an hour reading the end of Caroline Day (and Snoopy)'s 'Small Acts of Kindness' such a heartwarming story of love and friendship. The characters will stay with me ❤️ Thank you Book-ish 📚 for my blind date with a book. It was perfect. book-ish.co.uk/product/small-…

Friday night CPD watching Blood Brothers at Blackpool Winter Gardens. Amazing show (as always) in a beautiful theatre. Refreshed and ready to teach it to year 9. Although, no matter the important themes, their favourite quote will be "tits, tits, tits!"

Can't resist...

Just finished my first Your Paper Quest book 'The Final Season' by Andrew Gillsmith. Took me a while as there was too much narrator and not enough character for me. I loved the story, but the narrative passed between characters without going back and maintaining their depth IMO.

Finished listening to 'It Ends With Us'. I enjoyed it; it was perfect to be made into a film with some of the visual moments. It had some '50 shades' moments, so I can see why there was a lot of buzz around it. I felt like the second half was rushed and almost too neat. IMO.

To add to my last. It was my first proper audio book experience. As an English teacher, u enjoy the feel of I a book between my fingers, but the freedom to listen while driving and doing housework was truly liberating. On to my next...

I'm now hooked on audiobooks. Just finished The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman (I know I'm late to the party!). Even stayed up later than normal to finish. Such wonderful, funny characters, with a perfect mix of depth and mystery. Shame the next isn't included on Spotify.

Another week, another audio book finished, ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas. Really wasn't sure at first as fantasy isn't my go to, but it grew on me. Beauty and the Beast with sexy fairies. I won't go into my audio book woes; between Spotify and Audible my new obsession is expensive!

Just finished Freida McFadden's 'The Boyfriend' (audiobook). Loved it. Couldn't turn it off so finished in record time. So many twists and turns it was like a roller coaster. Just when I thought I'd figured it out, another twist. Amazing. What should I listen to next?

Student dedicated a valentines poem to me. I'm not sure if I should be hurt, proud, or worried. #English #ValentinesDay #poetry

Finished this belter earlier in the week. Another audiobook, but felt different hearing James Anderson read it to me. As an avid cricket and lancashire fan, I loved hearing about his career, especially as he came from down road from me. Shame he's a dingle, though. #ohjimmyjimmy

Emotional week as I have finally told the students that I am leaving at Easter. There were tears, cheers, and now beers. Still 3 weeks to go. Not sure I'm stable enough to say goodbye 😭

Picked this up in London back in January and finished this morning. I enjoyed the politics and finance aspects more than the characters. The pacing seemed off, too. First half was too slow and the second too rushed, needed a bit of balance. 2/5 IMO. 📖📚

Just finished this for #bookclub. Lively, enriched characters - though some felt unnecessary to the story. Predictable ending. Going away for 10 days on Sunday, more planning is going into the books I'm taking than clothes!
