Tell me I am not alone when answering NPQ assessments do you constantly doubt everything you’re writing?! 😵💫😴 Long day.

Stepped into my car this morning to discover I did but have enough 🪫 for a round trip to school. So spent 10 mins recharging at Glos Services 😂 My head is in NPQ assessment window land… 😬 Very much needing the weekend and a childfree Saturday to hammer out my answers 🖊️ 📖

NPQ assessment week has arrived. Unsure if I am highly stressed, or simply relieved that soon it will be done and out my life and there’s nothing more I can do about it 😂😂 Looking forward to an empty house next weekend to write as my husband takes Mr T away ☺️

Today it happened. It’s never happened to em before. Today I called Jacob Marley ‘Bob Marley’. I laughed at myself in front of my Year 10s- some of them got the Freudian slip others looked blankly back at me. Week 3 of term almost complete 🤩

Monday: I have acquired a 1cm long paper cut on my thumb. This is going to bug me all week… Pathetically small; mighty sting 😭🫣

Not to be hyperbolic but the amount of stuff teachers/leaders are asked to do in the first WEEK of term is an actual crime. Ex analysis, phone calls, do this online training, sign this, order this, subject action plan, meet this person, organise LM meetings, on top of teaching.

Great ideas in this! Nothing worse than that ‘first lesson faff’ of getting everyone to sit in the correct place!
My first lesson: How do I start off with new classes? It's taken me a while, but this is now my routine 👇👇 First, make sure 1. A new exercise book is on everyone's seat 2. All chairs are down 3. Work is on the board 4. I have a seating plan >

Came home from first day of term to find my seed plant babies living their best life. Insane that I have managed to keep these plants growing (and a toddler too😂)!

Not doing a back to new term post! Instead, tell me where to go in Miami: where to stay; where to eat; what to see and do?! Never go back to work without a holiday in the pipeline 😂😂

Mind that time we were abroad and Mr T got chicken pox… we then couldn’t fly home when we were meant to. Don’t recommend. Wish we’d had access to a chicken pox vaccine in January 2025. Please vaccinate your littlies with all the things. Kids get so ill 😢

Can’t believe it but tonight I smashed out a 5km run that I absolutely had not planned to do this week 🥹🤯🫣🤩😎 I’ve been on a real strength building PT programme since end of April. Small consistencies each day; big goals long term 💪 🏆 @WeAreERC

We went to Denmark. We went to the home of everything Lego. Mr T went Duplo diving. Best times had 🥰An excellent time was had by all as we were all fit and healthy and actually flew back the day we were meant to. Faith resorted in family abroad holidays 🩵

Has anyone in my network run a school trip to Billund/Vijle (Denmark) and included a day at LegoLand/ Lego House? Curious to know if any UK based schools have done such a trip and would love to pick your brains…. 👀 (Currently here and it’s fabulous!)

Predicting exams... Big fat no from me. Every year, I'm asked by students to predict the exam questions based on previous ones, and to study the pattern. I explain every single time: it's *impossible* - it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

I’ve recently started a personal trainer programme in the gym. The change in my mindset in 3 weeks is insane! I’m doing things in the gym I had fear of and now beginning to feel strong. I’m actually training (and eating vast amounts of protein because the hunger is REAL 😂)

Officially the last day of term tomorrow which means I get my takeout Costa on my way to work as my end of term treat! This has felt like such a long term… which I spent the start of stuck in Fuertaventura with an ill toddler. Feels like a lifetime ago! What. A. Term. 🫠🙃😂

Went into my local Sainsbury’s last night to get some toiletries. Is this really how much ‘nice shampoo’ is these days? I bought this Repair Shampoo a matter of months ago, in the same shop, for £3 not in an offer. £6?! I just find it madness?!
