Morning,
A request for help:
I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since.
I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp.
Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on?
I’d really appreciate it!

"Writing is not just a means of communication; it helps us organise our thoughts. Turning to artificial intelligence text generators ultimately means allowing Silicon Valley billionaires to think in our place" writes Corentin Lamy in today’s Le Monde.

The downside of using excel to build dashboards with very large data sets....
Gone for formulas rather than power query for lookups etc as does process faster. However still glacial compared to DAX and PowerBI.
Wishing for Google Looker! (School can't afford a power BI license)

Going to need tea ☕

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Cat realised she had slept downstairs whilst door was open to go upstairs at 0515 this morning. Did so by running up the stairs and meowing loudly, before jumping on me.
On the plus side no alarm needed and it's off to work 😂

This morning's emergency lesson prep has consisted of cobbling together ancient laptops and installing @raspberrypi.com OS to have some working hardware on the ward this morning.
Have to say Raspberry Pi OS is just about perfect for this 👍
Now if only one would hold charge....

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Up early as didn't sleep much as was thinking about how to approach a data issue. Very rock-'n'-roll 😂
However it does mean I might get two cups of tea in, instead of one ☕☕

There's a kettle in my room, and my Y11s help themselves to a brew. Normally cheap tea, but for mock prep @yorkshiretea.bsky.social
A Y10 tried to make off with it, normally ignored by Y11. Not this time. "Leave our Yorkshire!" Was shouted. The Y10 wisely did exactly that.

Morning #teacher5clockclub ! Last day for me as I'm off tomorrow to head North for #OMM2025 .
Lots of data and assessment bits, and hopefully a bucket of tea, to get through.
Still no cycling ☹️ . Hopefully back on the bike after half term when the hand works again 😄
