Opened my laptop for the first time this break, starting a new role in a different school next week and found this lovely note from a member of my old class ❤️ Great advice that will definitely stay with me.

I've been in Newark today at John Hunt Academy, working with 60 Year 6 children. We have been making African masks.

🚨 This report, a blueprint for SEND reforms, was published over half-term. Just in case it passed you by, below is a link: https://t.co/wgzf7LotsS Highly recommend reading its recommendations. #SEND #Inclusion #SpecialNeeds #EHCP #eduX #Schools

If you work in a school with high deprivation, you also work in a school with high SEND. Double disadvantage for many pupils, double the challenge for your team. Important that everyone knows this. https://t.co/3GQu9xRS30

This morning, some of our year 1&2 children attended a mini movers festival to work on their fundamental movement skills 😊 Thanks for planning some great activities @derbycollege The children loved it 😊 @Erewash_SSP @FlyingHighTrust

Last week, some of our year 1-6 pupils attended a cross country competition at a local secondary school. The children gave it their all and showed great determination. Well done to one of our year 4s who came 1st in his race 🎉 @Erewash_SSP @FlyingHighTrust

Awesome work Y3&4!! 🌟

They were so excited to tell me all about it when they came back to school!

Well done to our Y3/4 football team! 👏🏼

31 years ago today, Oasis released their debut album, Definitely Maybe. One of the greatest albums of all time.

Oasis’ opening night in Toronto was incredible! There’s something special about singing Live Forever and Champagne Supernova in the rain! I loved it, the husband loved it. Happy days! 🤩#OasisLive25 @LiveNation @oasis @Ticketmaster @Rogers_Stadium

I am the happiest I’ve been in such a long time. Time with my beautiful family is so important to me, especially with all the grief we’ve faced in the last five years. I miss my mum and dad so much but I know they’ll be looked down on me smiling. NYC & Toronto here we come ❤️

A major cheat code in life: Raising the energy of every room you walk in. Stand tall when others shrink. Optimistic when pessimism reigns. Present not distracted. Enthusiasm is rare. Contagious. And a choice. Be the one who elevates everyone else. Let your energy be magnetic.

Great start to the holidays… @backstreetboys and @Beyonce ticked off in Vegas. Roll on NYC and @oasis in Toronto! 🌟

We're home. It's home. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️
