Day 2 with no gas supply in the house. No heating, hot water or cooking facilities. The meter is broken. Account is in partner's name, so provider won't speak to me. Said partner is working away. It's going to be a long week. 🥶

I've managed lock myself out of the primary assessment gateway by entering the password correctly. Does anyone know if this is time limited, or do I need to panic...?

And now for something completely different… first evening in Hanoi ❤️

The world is a big place and I want to see as much of it as I can. Hanoi, you are stunning X

Just arrived at Ha Long Bay and right on cue, the black clouds have gathered 🙈

Cursing past me, who thought it would be a good idea to host a dinner party for 10 the weekend before we return to school. At least the house has been cleaned 🤷🏻‍♀️

Opened my school laptop this morning to discover it was dead. Swapped the charger in case it had failed but no joy. It will be a month before our IT support will be in school. It's going to be a long month :(

Day 21 with my class. Just as I was feeling comfortable with them, the lesson crashed. Designing a classification key 🙈 Oh my, they found it hard. Definitely needed more modelling. Ah, a learning experience for me. Tomorrow is a new day.

Day 25. The children are clearly confident with routines and are starting to get sloppy. Time to remind them of expectations and insist on getting it right every time.

Hey, I've got a full class set (30 copies) of the amazing new book Dragon Force: Infinity’s Secret by Kevin Tsang and Katherine Webber Tsang to give away for FREE. A whole class set, no catch. To win, all you need to do is retweet.

Day 28 done. Sad to have had to admit defeat and bring a set of books home for marking this weekend 😔

First reading assessment and not one Spanish speaking cat 😆

Yesterday, we finished reading Clockwork. Brilliant book, but this was the first year that the class have loved the story. What was different? All the children had their own copy of the book. Thank you A New Chapter - Children's Bookstore

We’ve really enjoyed planning lessons for The Final Year. We think as many children as possible should be able to get their hands on it. So, we’re giving away a class set! Simply like this post, repost it and follow Literacy Shed on X. We’ll draw a winner at random on 13/2/24

Out with the dog at daybreak this morning 🐾🐾

This is what weekends are all about ❤️

#4for44 day 1 A day to chill 🐾

#4for44 day 2. Rails, sails and tails with our almost 3 year old granddaughter ❤️

Wow!!!

Nothing worse than finishing your class read with 4 weeks of term left! I contacted A New Chapter - Children's Bookstore last Thursday and today, our last class book of the year arrived. Brilliant service. Thank you
