Sometimes social media is awful. Sometimes it is wild. I always prefer wild.

I’ve just seen the coolest noise-o-meter on tik tok. I can’t wait to try it tomorrow. It’s a free website called &amp; you can change the sensitivity, item, amount &amp; the microphone detects the background noise. When too loud the balls bounce.

My Christmas gift from SLT xxx

I lived in Doc martens from 12-17. Haven’t had a pair for 20 years and just decided to get some again and live a badass life for 2025. The shop gut tried to sell me products to help me break them in and I said ‘‘this isn’t my first rodeo.’

I felt like a Princess all day and was so honoured to wear a parent’s sari. The children who are currently celebrating #Diwali2023 looked so happy to see me dressed up. They raced across the playground at break duty to talk to me and share what they have been doing so far.

I don’t want to show off but… I HAVE MY PAID AFTERNOON OFF TOMORROW!!!!!!!

I will upload my 3 day mini project planing to my TES tomorrow as a few have asked. Been a purposeful way to end the year rather than generic year group booklets. X

My son and his girlfriend move into their first house on Wednesday. This is going to be me as pay back.

We have gone from getting 4 little catterpillars in the post and then seeing them grow. Cocoon. And emerge as butterflies. That was where I thought it would end. But they mated. Had 150+ eggs and all hatched and now have a regular butterfly breeding unit. Utter joy.

Happy December primary school teachers. I hope you feel seen.

Back to school tomorrow and blessed to still be in EYFS. I hope to stay here MANY years now. One of my best hits was my introduction of the story crates. Children would access them in continuous provision and then go to the writing area and produce outstanding child led work.

30 little dragonflies made to give my lovely class tomorrow and the end of term. My first year back in EYFS in many years and I’ve loved every second. I’ve learned so much and really opened my eyes to how things have changed since my time there. I can’t wait to carry on in EYFS!

Back to school nails to greet my new EYFS class xxx

Sharing an emotional journey. My middle dragon had undiagnosed neurological issues. Still on the waiting list after 4 years. We lose her daddy when she was 6 months old. Covid prevented proper transition. School refused for years. Sat EVERY GCSE. Whatever result she is INCREDIBLE

How goes the work? Incredible! EYFS summer one writing. From most not even able to write their name to this!! Super proud. Mix of abilities to show all accessed succeeded. ‘We went to the farm’ was a dictated sentence. The over sentences independent x #eyfsteacher #earlywriting

Why get children to just label a map when they can draw it and then deeply reflect and edit and improve their attempts. So much more powerful. #year4teacher #primarygeography #centralamerica #maps

I defy anyone to tell me teaching Science isn’t the COOLEST thing ever!! I blooming LOVE science. We’ve had a day exploring changing states of matter and making butter is literally pure war and wonder which they NEVER forget. #whyiloveteaching

When you are passionate about Art and teach it to the same level you would do a maths lesson, you get results. Examples of my current EYFS art and a past year 5 class. I love art. #artteacher

This is just wonderful from Chris Packham #insideourautisticminds

So pleased with this years Nutcracker crafting. We filled them with sweets so when the kids went to collect them to take home and they were so excited.

Changes are good. Embrace changes. And go book shopping. My book haul for my new class Autumn term one work next year 🤘❤️

My last PHSE lesson in year 4. Architects, detectives, doctors, teachers, car engineers, pro climbers, authors, nurses, clothes designers… the privilege of being of being a teacher is letting your class dream big and believe in themselves and their dreams ❤️

This is the third year I have done this activity and it never fails to bring sparkle and joy to the children and increase their engagement with the book once made. #narnia #thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #wardrobecraft
