Schools have interventions, enrichment, story time, 2 hours of PE, assemblies and all the other things to fit in.
So when you are thinking about designing your curriculum, think about leaving wriggle room, time to revisit, time to consolidate. Not every hour of the day needs to be jam packed...

6 months since the first elbow break and arm still isn’t “functional” but it’s got 85° range of motion and I can hold a 2kg dumbell.
Next part of my phased return to “my(?)” year 1 classroom. The supply teacher has been amazing. Lucky to have had her.

Got up to 55° movement in elbow today.
Recovery is so incremental.
So close to 2 o’clock.
Would love to be at 3 o’clock.
Should be at 5 o’clock. 😠
Fallen out with my arm.

Frustrating week.
No first days for me whilst I sit and slowly bend this stupid elbow. Every hour. 8-8.
Reckon I can get it to 50° which is progress but still rubbish.
Got to write some elbow goals to see what will and won’t be possible in the future.
Teacher guilt is high. Grrr

An hour done on the recumbent bike for the first time. Feels a bit futile but good to move for an hour.

Despite being signed off with my elbow till October, I went into my class yesterday.
Binned a lot of my rubbish and junk and hopefully all set up for supply.
The guilt is unreal.

Frustrating day of elbow physio today.
Can bend my elbow 30° at most and need to get to 100°.
I now have 15 minutes of stretches to do every hour from 8am to 8pm.
4 hours a day… spent bending 🫣

I’ve been really down with my broken elbow post surgery and not being able to do so many things.
Reluctantly I’ve been working through a “gratitude journal.”
I’m a month in and as much as I hate doing it, it might actually be helping.
3 things to be positive about each day.

I really enjoyed Alien Romulus except for 2 bits really shook me out of it. I read somewhere that is was meant to be a cover version but it felt a bit of a parody at times.
