The Y6s marked a Maths SATS paper I completed today with lots of errors in it. They had to correct the mistakes and give me feedback on where I went wrong. They always enjoy doing this and I always find the feedback rather funny 😂✅

Why do teachers record TikTok’s in the classroom?? Whilst they are teaching their pupils? I am baffled and do not agree with this at all…

💗Teachers, does anyone else get bad anxiety during the summer break? I am struggling so much at the moment & can’t work out why. Maybe it’s because I’m not busy with work and have more time to sit, think & worry about stuff? 🤯🥺

Will these seeds turn into glue sticks? Or paper? Or free school meals? Or maybe even support staff/TAs? Or better yet, SEMH support?? Asking for the entire profession who are underfunded, underpaid & under supported… what a miracle that would be!!

It’s great that school children will be able to mark His Majesty The King’s #Coronation by planting wildflower seeds from @educationgovuk @EdenProject . As well as an opportunity to learn about nature, this will boost biodiversity & sustainability.

Life works in funny ways. At secondary school, I hated Maths. It took me several attempts to pass my Maths GCSE. Now, here I am, I love teaching Maths and I am about to take on a new role as Maths lead in September. If I told my 15 year old self that, I would have laughed...
