Ran 8km with friends at a relaxed pace then did this Parkrun. Following a Garmin programme to improve my 10k pace is motivating me at the moment! #EduRunners

Being observed tomorrow, this is the first school I have worked in where you have formal observations, is it widespread? Previously just had anyone come in when they want to, which feels like leaders would have a more true view of what is happening.

My highlight this week was meeting our new PGCE students, knowing we will nurture them and hopefully have 3 great science teachers to support moving to other schools by the end of the academic year 😀

Club run ended in the pub to discuss next weekend's 24 hour 10k loop run and camping, questioned my leisure time choices and then felt really pleased with them, that may change closer to the time 😀

I sometimes get asked about the common issues I see across primary schools and the kind of support I offer as a result. This brief blog explains this stuff.

I think we all edit our emotions but to different extents. Great tools to help yourself or others process emotions.
*Day 19 Blog 19**
Do you edit your emotions?
Emotional editing is when you dismiss and block the emotion you are feeling because it is either too painful, you're too busy to process it or you feel you don't have the right to feel that way.
