Fascinating scenes today - a Halloween flying ant day! Scores of them, although all suicidal it appears. Happy flying ant day, or happy halloween, to all who celebrate either

A great first day back. Really felt the love from colleagues and students, so many well-wishes and cuddles 😊 But oof am I tired this evening!! #edusky
So, Monday it all begins again. And I will be using a walking stick, having missed all of staff training week recovering from surgery. But I'm excited to return, not apprehensive, because my school is awesome 😊 #edusky

The opportunity and ideas presented here are lovely. Not sure about how much I agree with taking away too many exam/GCSE courses as they lead to flexibility later in life and I believe each offer different skills rather than just knowledge retrieval, but I love the nano course ideas in this.

#edusky can anyone help me to find some trampoline training for our PE teachers please? We've been trying for about 2 years and not managed it!

Love Lucy Bronze! #mathstoday
Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score).
“Statistically it’s risky for the goal keeper to stand still… so yeah, I love maths”.

In #mathstoday I'm quite sad. After 5 years with a gorgeous class they had their final IGCSE Further maths exam today and apparently it was just so hard, way way harder than any past paper. They are utterly devastated, and so am I

Oversight of the school calendar isn't something any leader puts in their bio or talks about at conferences, but its impact shouldn't be underestimated and I've got a lot of satisfaction from trying to do a decent job of it. You certainly notice when it's not done well.

In #mathstoday my 12yo and I just did some estimation and volume to see how it was possible for 250,000,000 bees to fit in one truck. We're still debating how they would load them in (no, we don't want sensible answers, we prefer imagining lining them up and counting them in)

Procrastination can be a major threat to independent study.
Despite having the desire and the strategies, many students (and adults) struggle to get started.
We can help reduce this risk by pre-empting procrastination.

I'm giving this a go since everyone seems to be here now! I have taught Maths and Further for 8 years in a sixth form college. I'm looking to share ideas and resources with other Maths teachers.

And so half term is over, feeling both long enough and far too short at the same time. Thankfully, it's going to be raining this week, making it much easier to not mind being at work. Until I remember 'wet breaks' (shudder)

I have this, it's such a strange thing. I used to play regularly and even won a trophy but now I just can't throw at all, my hand won't let go. Thankfully I was far too rubbish to be professional!
