My cousin is one talented lady! Everything was woodland themed- mushrooms made from marshmallows and chocolate, hedgehogs, toadstools, “wild berries” and much much more. She’d make a great infant teacher 🙌🏻

Just spent the last 7 hours “proof reading” my thesis 🫣. I may have to delegate its submission to my husband at this stage.

Speaking aloud to my dog (who is thoroughly enjoying me working from home at the moment), I said: “I’m going to put on my eyebrows and go get an iced mocha”. Lola does not care for my plans, once she can continue to 😴

I want to buy all of the plants and planters and turn my garden into a ✨garden✨

Currently turning old paint cans into planters because my budget will not cooperate with my ideas!

I’m noticing a consistent pattern in the “good days” of my data analysis writing- the productivity miraculously improves with an iced mocha to hand and a purple snack. 🍫

On the plus side for Lola, it’s like taking a walk through a stick library 🪵 #StormÉowyn

Rebecca here 👋 a primary school teacher and current teacher fellow in DCU.

With this #edchatie topic, I think diversity in teaching needs to be considered.

Diversity in Ireland isn’t new. However, our teachers are a largely homogeneous group. How can we do more to encourage more diversity in ITE?
Welcome! Tonight topic for #edchatIE is "how can Ireland address its teacher recruitment and retention crisis?". If you're taking part, please introduce yourself first and don't forget to use the hashtag #edchatIE. We'll start with an open discussion and I'll prompt later is necessary.

The ‘2025-itis’ hit hard today! I bought a weekly planner, spent the day weeding and gardening, and want to plant a tonne of seeds for a summer garden. Life in your thirties is very exciting.

‘Say Nothing’ exceeds all expectations — an engrossing, tense account of the Troubles in Northern Ireland; finely acted, gripping and harrowing from the get-go!

A welcomed slow start today (…after walkies of course).
