So proud of this brilliant bunch!

Don't mind us, it's just the Head of English and Head of Drama hanging out with their new mate Jack; he's had a rough day, but we've got him through it. It is wonderful to be back at The Elms School with lots of excitement for the new school year - it's gonna be a good'un!

Year 6 began their Vocal Skills unit in Drama today with some fabulously flamboyant performances of the opening speech from a melodrama. They were suitably expressive, creative and utterly joyful!

Huge hearty thanks to The RSC RSC Education for an exhilarating and inspiring two-day Teaching Shakespeare course. Can't wait to put what I've learnt into practice The Elms School! An absolute treat to squeeze in seeing a new play, too.🎭🌟

Absolutely glowing from My Neighbour Totoro this evening... I have never been as swept away by theatre magic as I much as I have been this evening. A truly perfect show; the kids can't stop squealing about how happy their hearts feel... thank you The RSC and スタジオジブリ Studio Ghibli Fan Account 🐈 🐐 🐔 🌳 🌟 🦋

We loved Sam Wilde's online work over lockdown, making an aardvark or two, so it was wonderful to see his beautiful creations live Shakespeare’s Globe yesterday in The Fir Tree.Absolute bonus to meet actor @tonyjay78 afterwards;he was so lovely with Noah&Hazel,they were thrilled!

A lovely Y7 girl is so giddy-happy at having been given the whole set of Murder Most Unladylike books for Christmas; she glowed as she told me today how excited she was to get stuck in to the second instalment. Robin Stevens Updates I wish you could have eavesdropped on the joy! 🌟

Dear Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 Apologies in advance if,at your schools workshop this afternoon,a rather fan-girly English teacher blurts overexcited nonsense at you. You are my favourite poet in all of the world,since 'Eddie and the Gerbils'& I'm so thrilled to bring my class to see you🤩

I teach college music theory, but I'm also a new dad. I decided to combine my professional and personal identities and make a thread of music for babies where the adult musicians went way, way harder than they had to. (1/12)

The most beautiful thread I have enjoyed on Twitter in a long time; a celebration of exquisite details in works of art. Have a look, and exhale...

My twentieth pint! Give Blood NHS 🩸🩹

Fierce analysis going on here; votes are tied on Rhubarb&Custard, Strawberry Cheesecake, Fizzy Strawberry Custard (🤮)... Good fun, but very confusing on the taste buds! #whatthefanta

Huge love to the cast of SIX 👑 . for a fantastic matinee, with an extra standing ovation for the BSL interpreter who was acting her socks off! Hazel and I had the best time 🌟 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑

Lovely to see St James the Elder sharing an uncanny resemblance to Tim Minchin at St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina in Malta today; guessing no-one called him Orangu or Fanta Pants in the school yard, mind.

Ok five years ago I sent out a load of micro tips for new teachers getting ready for September. By popular demand (literally nobody) here they are again!
