Nice! Looks too light for Green Smoke. Calke, maybe? Or Breakfast Room? 🤔 Put me out of my misery. Which one?

I was gifted this one by a colleague for Christmas. Looking forward to it!

My husband and I have had the same for about a week now. I powered through the catering and entertaining on Christmas Day but have been good for nothing since. The cough is the most annoying thing! Hope you feel better soon.

Nice to see you over here, Graham 👋

Sorry to hear that. We’ve got our trip on Friday next week. Didn’t have a great experience last year, but it was my first year at the school and I didn’t know my colleagues or any of the Year 11s. Hoping for a great day this time!

That reminds me! I forgot that last year we had a table per year group around the outside of the room so families could see how the content/depth changes through the year. Bit like a timeline.

You’re right. My last but one school did the tours that way and these were the two things we did before families moved on. Current school is free rein to go around as they like. We also have our Year 11 subject captains helping, so they take care of the maps while teachers can chat.

Factfulness quiz is a great shout! We use it, and extracts from the book, in our Year 7 curriculum.

Felt better than the summer! Hoping to get out mid-week too, but we’ll see.

This is the very thing I was discussing with our ECT2 in our mentor meeting last week.

Hockey mum for me. On Weds night, I’d never seen so much rain ☔️ Yesterday, she had U14s training in the morning and played in a match with the senior ladies team in the afternoon (debut match and scored a goal!). Glorious sunshine; plenty of coffee and cake consumed. Typical Sept weather 🤷🏻‍♀️
