The day before this photo was taken, a teacher took me to one side and told me I’d better dress sensibly for the 6th form photo.
Couldn’t let him down!
I carefully pick my battles with students. He didn’t.

My lovely Sam at training tonight. Loving his new bike and longer handlebar stem.
Shame the velodrome is over an hour away from us.

Best buy a cake on the way home. 14.5 today 💕🎂
Half birthdays are the best 😁

On this day 4 years ago. Brain overload. We got though it though. Wouldn’t like to do it again!

Not into crypto I guess? He had gone quiet since I asked about the partners he is working with.

I have reported an account pretending to be you this morning. He has added an extra E to your name
You might want to report too.

Getting strange DMs from this man today.
@teachfirst.bsky.social is he one of your members of staff?
I very much doubt it. I have reported.

Lucky to have the Red Arrows to entertain students waiting for the bus. We see them regularly whilst they are practising.

Happy weekend everyone x

A masterclass in cross hatching from one of our students. She has a real knack of capturing expression.

My son always hated school. Too busy. Too loud. Very nearly became a school refuser.
All he wanted to do was become a farmer.
At agri college now & absolutely loving it. Wide open spaces, outdoors.
He is on work placement today.
He never sends me texts but sent this this morning. Made me smile

Got new glasses.
Wore them for the first time yesterday.

Thanks! 😁

And another student. Work in year 9 compared to her work in year 12.
This student is soon to start her PGCE in Art teaching 😁

This still blows my mind. Same student. Five years difference.
I absolutely love seeing students develop in confidence and skill. Confidence is key. Self belief is everything.
I really believe it is our job as teachers to be their confidence until they believe in themselves.

Sharing again on here. These paintings by Martha in Yr 11 few years back got a lot of love.

It would have been my Dad’s and Uncle Mick’s 75th birthday today. I miss them. 💕

Whatever today brings, I’m pretty sure it won’t be as weird as ‘teaching students with the help of a plastic hand on a stick’ weird.

This came up on my memories. Reminded me of a time where every day was a total curve ball.

This is a customer service announcement:

These Lidl dishwasher tabs are actually amazing.
Far less reject pots than when I used the premium ones from fairy or finish.
I keep thinking it’s a fluke, but they have been amazing for quite some time now.

£4.09 for 60 😊

Whoop! My blog is on @teachertapp.bsky.social today 😁 thanks!!

Lanyard washed. Now for the task of getting my pin badges in the same places.
Need a new card - my photo is wearing away. Reminds me of the photo in back to the future where people start to disappear 😆

I have been working on a recycle and reuse uniform swap swop.
The wheelie bin has been filled three times over this summer.
GCSE results day - the bin filled up in 2 hours!
The photos show what was collected during results day last Thursday.
