This week was our Y7 ‘DNA Day’. A day where we focus on embedding cross curricular skills while doing something fun and extra to the spec. We looked at frog life cycles in Biology and I summoned all my little person mummy skills to create a ‘pond’ as a brain break 🥰

Today, after a long week, I treated myself to a sneaky Chinese for my lunch. Inhaled it in my 30 minute break while dealing with 100 other things. Teaching y9 physics boys last.. thought I’d be sick.. instead let out a horrendous loud burp. Never so quickly established silence.

First after school Y11 biology revision session of the year and the lab was heaving! SLT came to marvel at my marketing skills… consistency of message from my teaching team and reminders about intrinsic motivation are the winning combo today 🥰 #topsquad

Revisiting booklets for our lower end… how are you all differentiating without having an enormous booklet? Want activities that really deeply test their knowledge and challenge but don’t put my weakest off…

Thank you, Mary Earps… “Stay in education. Get some GCSEs. Get some A levels. Work really hard.” Yes!

2/2 I’ve worked hard at this relationship and it’s still nowhere near perfect but showing him how close he was to a Grade 4 today made a huge impact I wasn’t expecting.

Brill end to a stress cry kinda week when one of my 11.6 boys retook a mock he got 1/60 in, nailed his target grade, I marked it in front of him, called home and he’d already bounced through the door and told mum. She said he’s not been proud of his school work for years. 🥲 1/2

There is tired, then there’s morning meeting, full day of teaching, break duty, y11 catch up session, whole staff briefing then y11 parents evening and y12 open evening tired….. haven’t seen my own little people enough today and it makes me sad, even though today was positive.

Year 6 open evening is an absolute killer for me halfway through a tough week. Feel like it’s a Friday which is disappointing 😅

For a quiz I'm looking for parts of the body with strange names to ask students where it might be (such as pacinian corpuscle). What should I include?
