Other than that, a relaxing day is in store 👍🏽

It was ☀️ today but not very warm so they took much longer to dry - hence I didn’t get them all done. Hopefully can finish them tomorrow 🤞🏽
Anyway, 💙🩵🩷❤️💜♥️

More thoughts on how teaching has changed since I started.
Back in the day - reports were handwritten and a weekend job as a form tutor was to check spellings and collate them for each student, every term 😐
Now - all done electronically 👍🏽

A brilliant week with lots of positive interactions, great moments in lessons and students appreciative of support 👍🏽
However, I’m so glad it’s the weekend and I’ve not got a pile of marking staring at me 👍🏽
Have a fab Friday evening people 😊

Good morning and we’ve made it to Friday 🥳
No meetings today but lots of teaching as well as lunchtime duty to keep me busy 👍🏽
If your energy is running low, think of the difference you’ve made to others this week 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Have a great day people 💜🩷

Such a great mix today for me - an online meeting to kick things off, then teaching, a meeting with our student leadership team, meetings with a few heads of department, a working group meeting and then finally a senior leadership meeting 👍🏽
Have a great day folks ❤️

More reflections on how teaching has changed since I started in 97 😊

Back in the day - chalk boards 😐, TVs on trolleys 😂 and OHPs 👎🏽

Then - projectors 👍🏽, Interactive White Boards or Smart Boards 😐

Now - Touchscreen TVs 👍🏽👍🏽 and Visualisers 🥳🥳
December 10, 2025 at 7:11 PM
Good morning 😊
A quieter day ahead so hopefully I can be productive and get through a list of jobs, whilst still sharing positivity and giving praise 👍🏽
Have a wonderful Wednesday folks 💙
December 10, 2025 at 7:11 AM
Good morning 😊
I’m running a new staff induction session first thing - it’s so important to support those coming into the profession and to share the joys of teaching 👍🏽
Hopefully I won’t get drenched on lunchtime duty 😬, but sometimes you’ve got to bring your own sunshine 💛
December 9, 2025 at 7:29 AM
Good morning 😊
A great day ahead ending with my maths dept end of term meal tonight👍🏽
Will there be challenges in the week ahead? Absolutely, but facing things with empathy and positivity always helps me 👍🏽
Have a marvellous Monday people 💜
December 8, 2025 at 7:18 AM
A couple of weeks left of term and a week ahead with lots of stuff I’m looking forward to 👍🏽
No Sunday anxiety for me, but I’ve been there - if you’re stressing, focus on what’s in your control and what you’re looking forward to too 🙏🏽
December 7, 2025 at 8:19 PM
Reflecting on when I started teaching (97) and the job now.
Every now and again I’ll post a few thoughts/differences
When I started - all info/reminders in pigeonholes. Has to check a few times each day. No email 👍🏽
Now - loads of emails everyday 😳and pigeonhole only for student work
