Happy friday everybody! I hope everybody has had a great week. What is something you are proud of this week? 👏 mine is starting the application for the NPQML, going to finish it off today 🙋🏼‍♀️

The stress level has jumped today. So many things to do, so little time!

Looking to start gathering pieces to help organise my room over summer. Where is the best place to buy organiser drawers for stationery and bits and pieces? Help please!

What a productive day! I am sure rainy weather works magic on my productivity! Is any body else the same? 😅

After 3 weeks of not running and one of the most stressful weeks since lockdown, I managed to motivate myself and just completed my 3rd run of the week! My goal of 10km by august might still be on! 🤪

In school by 6am this morning. Trying to start the week of right! But first...coffee ☕

Something I told my trainee teacher this week. A quiet classroom isn’t always a happy, productive classroom. As long as when you stand back & watch you can see that all children are on task, making progress & learning conversations are taking place, the noise level is irrelevant.

Very stressed today! How is it only Monday...

A teacher said “It was March. I blinked and it was almost October. My eye bags are the size of suitcases.” To what extent do you agree?

Gov’t: “Two households...” English teachers: “BOTH ALIKE IN DIGNITY.”

Time we worked together.

Children have repeatedly been let down by this Government: the exam grading fiasco, free school meals blocked over the holidays, and now they’ve slashed 80% of laptops promised to help our country’s poorest pupils with distance learning. theguardian.com/education/2020…

I have been accepted onto the NPQML! Excited but nervous! Does anybody have any tips?? 😅

Started 'Fear is the Mind Killer' and would definitely recommend already. Any body else started this text?

So, to be clear, we just sent 3 million children into primary school FOR ONE DAY, so they could all mix around the virus, and *then* go into lockdown? That's what's actually just happened, right? My brain isn't making this up?

Here's what's the most sickening thing about this whole schools u-turn. Not a single thing has changed since the PM sat on telly yesterday and said it was fine to open schools. Not one thing. Same facts. Same data. Same virus. It's just wilful stupidity.

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us. They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

Currently planning some Unseen Poetry lessons on Amanda Gorman's 'The Hill We Climb', and am truly excited to teach the lessons to my Year 9s next week! Feel blessed to be in the position to be able to educate young minds on monumental pieces of literature 🙏🏼
