Being given this at the end of my y8 lesson today had me close to tears. After a slight wobble yesterday, this was the little pick me up I needed. It really is the small acts of kindness 🥺✨ My personal highlight obviously being the accuracy of the eyelashes 😍👏🏼

First learning walk feedback as an ECT and I’m over the moon, maybe I can do it after all 🤷🏻‍♀️

Only 7 days until Wales High School Y6 Open Evening! #walesway #cantwaitforthursday

Such a lovely end to my first half term of teaching as an ECT: a relay quiz with my lovely year 8 group to check their knowledge and understanding of Romeo and Juliet! Both teams smashed it! #proudteacher #teamwork WalesEnglish Wales High School

I’m wanting to create a murder mystery stand alone 1 hour lesson for my year 9s as a nice way to finish off our Victorian London: detective fiction unit next week but have no idea where to start! Can anyone help!?

Yep, this is me 🙄

Can anyone think of any examples of peripeteia or hamartia, in films or tv shows that I could show to my year 9s in order to help with their understanding of tragedy?

Today a student said to me “you’re a really happy person aren’t you miss” and I think it’s the biggest compliment I’ve had in my teaching career. Am I always happy? No. Do I always want to create a happy learning environment where students enjoy coming to lessons? Yes absolutely!

It’s the small wins that always feel the biggest 🥰

This is so overwhelming 🥰 #teameffort #greatcommunity #comingtogether 🇺🇦😍

First birthday as a full time qualified teacher and look what one of my lovely year 10s has drawn for my birthday. Working with young people has so many perks, such a thoughtful gift 🥹🥰

Thank you so much! You’re the best ❤️

Our first Christmas photo as 7.5! Me and Miss Housley feel so very lucky to have such a lovely (albeit slightly crazy) tutor group. You’ve completely smashed your first term at WHS and we couldn’t be prouder of every single one of you! 👏🏼🎄❤️

This is amazing 🤩🤩 Special mention for my 7.5 superstars though… Zac, Jonah, Isabel, Jack and Ben! So proud of you for making a difference in our local community 🌎⭐️

We need to make sure that young people leave compulsory education able to read for enjoyment, to access employment and services - new insights from our work summarised here Dr. Laura Shapiro @lashaps.bsky.social Nuffield Foundation Royal Holloway Psychology RH Research Aston University Aston Institute of Health & Neurodevelopment (IHN) 📚

Completely blown away by the homework produced by my year 9 class. They were given a project task to research a poem/song in an attempt to take analysis beyond the classroom. Beyond proud! This is only a small sample too 😍 #topeffort #misshoggardssuperstars🖊️📖✨

My mentor from my 2nd placement school STILL reaches out to check in with me every so often and it warms my heart every time. One of the kindest souls as well as being one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing in the classroom 🫶🏼✨

Our tradition 🫶🏼 I couldn’t love this crazy bunch more, they keep me on my toes for sure but they’re growing up to be truly incredible young people and I feel very lucky to be their tutor. More of the same next year please 8.5 #besttutorgroup #smashedit

If English teachers spoke honestly about markload, I reckon no-one would apply to teach the subject ever again.
