All this week too! 👏🏼✨🏳️🌈⚖️✊🏼♥️🎉
When I joined my school, 1 student came to netball club. I promised her that she would compete with a team.. covid hit & it became even harder to run clubs..
Tonight I had 20 students play their first matches with 2 KS4 leaders assisting!!! Proud doesn’t begin to cover it 🥲❤️

He wears stab vests to highlight the very REAL problems facing our youth, particularly bame groups today!
If you can’t see why Stormzy is a role model for our youth then perhaps you’re more out of touch with them than you think?
How amazing is this?
One of our Year 10 pupils has gone away and made her own revision guide for

Not compulsory, not homework.. just someone who loves learning and aiming high 👏🏼✨📗

Maternity leave starts now!🤰🏼🤯
I am very proud of myself for getting to 37w whilst teaching two practical subjects
I’m a huge mix of emotions right now, I can’t wait to start this journey but grateful to have a job & colleagues that I’ll miss ❤️
When you have pupils that play for
@RoundersEngland
and still beg to play it in lessons and for the school teams; it shows how fantastic the sport is and how loved it is by children. ⚾️❤️
The absence of it in the new PE spec is my biggest grievance!

PE - The subject that teaches fair play, commitment, teamwork, decision making, reduces stress, increases life long participation in activity and healthy lifestyles.
I wonder if you think it’s a waste of time now you’ve had your gastric band fitted?
Is anyone else absolutely baffled with this new guidance?
I can teach my class Netball in lesson but as soon as the clock hits 3pm I can’t run Netball in our year group bubble clubs with smaller numbers than their class anyway?
My head is mashed 🥴🤔
Before we head into the next school year, I think it’s so important to remind ourselves of this 🙌🏼👇🏼
It’s going to be a strange one, make sure you look after yourselves and look out for your friends & colleagues too! 20/21 we got this ✨
I can’t stand when you take a team to play against other schools and their teachers/umpires are SO biased and unfair, made even worse when your team would be absolutely smashed regardless of decision making.
Where’s the sportsmanship and example setting???
I’ve left the fitbit life and joined the apple gang!⌚️🏃🏼♀️
I’ve been running every week since April, I have a real love HATE relationship with it because it doesn’t come naturally (get me in the pool instead) but today I did my first proper 5k and loved it 🥳

My previous tweet is dedicated to the fab y8/9 girls who worked so hard learning this choreography in only 2 weeks at the end of term and overcoming last minute changes to music.. one of my favourite achievements from this year 🎪🎩💖

things they don’t teach you on your PGCE year:
what to do when you pull the Astro net out and start teaching year 9s only for....
“miss, I think there’s a dead bird stuck in that net”
“what?”
*25 kids running to the net, screaming, heaving, crying*
😱😱😱
Realised a first aid hack today today whilst waiting for an ambulance to arrive.. used my Apple watch to monitor their HR until paramedics took over and helpful when speaking to the call handler!
Thought it was worth a share for anyone else in need in the future⌚️🚑
I mean, haven’t we be saying this for years?
Glad that these discussions are finally occurring more frequently! Children NEED the break and a healthy outlet, especially in the middle of exams 🎾🤸🏽♂️🥊🏓🧘🏼♀️

I’ve seen lots of tweets about primary schools removing PE off their curriculum for SATS prep.. absolute nonsense 😪
Not only does physical activity teach so much but it has countless other benefits. This should be encouraged MORE during exam periods 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️
Handball with Year 9 🤾🏼♂️
Focusing on aim and accuracy when scoring! 🎯

Whole class competition - each person aiming to get the most points after 3 throws!

At the end of the sumer, Y7 were asked to write a letter of thanks to a teacher of their choice.. we received them at the end of Christmas as a gift.. nothing nicer than knowing you’ve had a good impact on a child no matter how big or small!
I LOVE MY JOB SO MUCH 🤸🏼♀️😭❤️
Baby B due in November 👶🏼💙
Got to see him again this morning he’s running out of space. No idea how I’m still waddling around teaching dance and PE, my hips are definitely being put through their paces!
Any tips for preparing for maternity leave are welcome 🤰🏼🙏🏼
Just dance as a fun finisher to the year.. is there anything better?! 🎉
Even though these routines are cemented into my memory for life, it’s still brilliant watching students attempt the bike in this one 🤣

Trying to juggle a Masters, a full time job, extra-curricular and have some form of a social life has been so much harder than I thought.. praise the lord for my tutor who always gets me on the right track!
The end is in sight, just need to finish my dissertation 😬
Has anyone else found it incredibly stressful to complete Btec courses in time this year due to school closures/lost time and zero support or extensions from Pearson? 🫠🤯
Starter challenge for year 9 working on accuracy and power when shooting! 🎯
You have to call which cone your aiming for and as a small team you aim to knock all cones down before the other groups! Quick and effective ⚽️👍🏼

Mr & Mrs Bowker - 10.08.21 🤍
Continuing “Fitness” in the gym suite today with set 3 Yr9 - encouraging & stretching pupils to take ownership of their own workouts.. some fab work shown with all outcomes met!
Different coloured cards hold point values to challenge 👍🏼🏃🏼♀️💪🏼🏋🏼♀️

I just got my results back from the first unit of my Masters and I passed.. phew!
It’s been 3 years since I have done any academic writing and I was very nervous about this one 🙌🏼👩🏼🎓💫

Our baby boy, George arrived last month 16/11/23 and he is perfect! ☁️🌈🩵
Enjoying the newborn bubble & mat leave (already terrified at how quick it has gone!) life has gotten so much better with him in it 👶🏼
Has anyone else downloaded Disney+ ? I feel like I’m 12 again..
However, I’m now watching High School Musical and analysing the choreography instead 🤣🙈
So our mates live next door to us..
Today resulted in quarantine football tennis ⚽️🤣 (you can tell they’re missing their training and matches)
I’m saying tomorrow it’s doubles!! Or maybe volleyball? 🙋🏼♀️

It feels fantastic to finally be teaching KS3 Dance too this year! 💃🏼🕺🏼
5 groups taught this week (mixed), exploring different themes and genres and I can honestly say 100% of pupils have been engaged and taking part 🙌🏼

The joys of working in Manchester.. having a year 8 boy almost cry when you give him a red bib to wear not a blue one! 🤣
Can’t knock his support I guess! 🔴🔵
#acityunited
I would also recommend for fellow teachers - making a “teaching memories” box..
fill it with Xmas cards, thank you cards, colleague photos, team sheets etc!
(If I have a bad day or question myself I dig it out and remind myself of why I love my job and the things I’ve done) 😊
@LizzieSimmonds1
I see your point but when it comes to things like this.. we all have to be a bit more open minded for the fact it could be giving many people a new sense of confidence 🤷🏼♀️
First alarm set in 6 weeks ⏰
My new chapter starts tomorrow! ⛅️
I hope everyone has had a good recharge and ready for another year ahead!

according to Julie Hartley-“spewer” we’re “lazy sods” who just want another “holiday”
lazy sods working in settings that according to PHE account for 35% of cases, with a lack of PPE and working amongst large numbers of people a day..
lockdown should mean lockdown!
Part two - greatest showman medley dance 💖
Hard work, commitment and no fear of failing from these girls (half of who had a huge confidence boost from performing) reason 163289 why I love my job! ☺️

This morning we have spoken about Italy’s water systems regenerating and China’s air quality improving, how we can find positives everywhere if we look
we have laughed and talked, joked and sang..
our children are resilient and I’m so proud of them already 💛🌟
Meet Bessie 💗
She’s our beautiful new addition (and running partner) to the house who gives us motivation to get up early every morning so she can get *very* muddy and chase tennis balls 🎾🦮

I absolutely love ‘THAT’ feeling when you take a pupil who is usually “too cool for school” on a fixture (didn’t think they would actually come) and they smash it!!!! 🥳
A nice little win which makes a long day all worth it 🙌🏼💪🏼
School trip done.. storm Dennis didn’t phase us one bit! ☔️🛶🌲⛺️
Had a lovely weekend with our pupils in the lakes, but very glad to be at home with a cup of tea and finally starting half term ☺️👌🏼

@Miss___Stone
Get them to write a letter to themselves that they get back at the end of the year.. what they want to achieve / where they want to be etc 😊
@MissFIngham
Use your free periods wisely
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself you’re not meant to know it all
Take the time to find your own style and way of doing things
