So important to do something for yourself even if it’s feels like you have 0 time. It’s only take me two New Year’s resolutions to finally join a choir 4 years after moving from the North East #firstgig #backtosinging #robinettes

Lovely day today running CPD on adaptive teaching and self-regulation in a school very close to me! It was fun to share locally sourced anecdotes. ☺️
Another great INSET this time the key note was @Sue_Cowley feel ready to share with BDS middle leaders and get those eggs out again to represent the epicentre of the atomic bomb!

Anyone finding themselves in a Nov slump you’re not alone. I think it’s work, mock marking plus the Xmas pressure - you love Xmas but want it to be perfect for your family #teachermum that plus the dark and damp nights!

Widely regarded as the most perilous role among SOE agents during WW2 was that of the wireless operator. Their life expectancy was frequently estimated at approximately 6 weeks, as German direction-finding units could triangulate their radio transmissions, resulting in capture.
