@MissEmmaTurner Earlier this term my son insisted his day was just normal, nothing to share, and then at dinner blurted out: "Owls' claws feel really strange on your shoulder." 😳 The owl people had been in to his school and he had one one on his shoulder. We now have a photo of this.

My child had actual real Reindeer’s at her school and she didn’t tell me. I’ve just seen it on seesaw.🤣🤣🤣

What a term!! It was my first one as a Senior Leader; I am grateful for all the lessons learned and eager for the lessons still to learn. But first: a good dollop of R&R and Chistmas fun! Have a great break, everyone 🎄

@NooPuddles @Xris32 Going to pinch this - great shout!

@Xris32 I would respond to this question with AFC Richmond. If they don’t watch Ted Lasso it sounds legit. If they do, we have something else (and better) to talk about!

What a year! Just said goodbye to the nicest group of people ever; thank you a brilliant 15 years! Very excited for September and my role, at my new school, as the AHT in charge of Sixth Form 😊 Hit me up with the best people to follow #edutwitter #sixthform #post16 #AHT

@Ana_DCWalker know anyone?

@Shell_Younger Can't think of any one but I will retweet x

@archer_rs Unfollowed

I thought hard about posting this, is it too much information? Is it over sharing? Is it unprofessional? Then I thought, no. We need to talk about this more & be more open. Because there are currently 13million of us going through this, it's not too much. We need to talk about it

@nourishworkplce @dazmoll I could have written that. If I was on one of those energetic patches you mention 😉 Thank you for sharing. I too got some gel and tablets recently and am hoping that they help me feel better 🤞

@dazmoll Thank you, I'm hoping it will bring me back to being more myself again. This is how I have been feeling nourishyourinnerhappy.com/2023/04/03/wad…

@assistantheaduk @LLHalf @UKRunChat @TeachersRunClub Congratulations!! 🥳 Amazing achievement 👏

So…this happened today…might be one of the biggest physical challenges I’ve put myself through after starting #couchto5k in August, but I was aiming for sub2:30 and I achieved it so I am beyond happy! @LLHalf @UKRunChat @TeachersRunClub #fitness #running #mytrainingisover

Absolutely!

@Strickomaster Very much so. I like that it is so easy to read, put down, and come back to. It's going to take a while to read fully as it is making me think, and therefore, the margins are getting full of my scribbled notes 😊

Saturday morning: swimming for child number 2, reading @Strickomaster for me.

Hello👋🏼 It's #EduSundayFunday..it's time to share what we are up to today.. Why..? ..because it's still the weekend..😌 So what are you doing for YOU today?😊 Me: Work out💪🏽 Walk🚶🏽 Turkish breakfast/coffee☕ Catch up with a close friend😊 #NoSundayDreads here! You? ❤️&🔁

The #teacher body clock does not care for the weekend. After a little bit of sulking, cross for being awake, I decided an #audiobook in bed was as good as sleeping. Even the kids and cats were asleep when I started this before 6 o'clock.

February ITT application stats for England are so bad that this year is now looking worse than last year, which is quite something 😲 - primary 15% lower than same time last year - secondary 2% higher despite big bursary uplifts Let me explain a bit more...🧵

@MaisieLuvsBilly I have a Papier wellness journal that I have been using just for fun. I will have a look at their academic diaries, thank you!

@Ana_DCWalker I have a beautiful, personalised, paper, academic diary with week to view pages from Papier. Love the ceremony it brings to being slightly more organised than before 🤣

How do you keep yourself organised? Paper diary/planner? Digital planner for iPad? Post-its? 😃 In particular if you are SLT, what do you use to keep track of it all? Including teaching. All ideas welcome,thank you! #edutwitter #stationery #planners #diaries

@SarahJulio Thank you. Never used a pirongs planner - will have a look!

@Ana_DCWalker Pirongs planner; none of the fluffy stuff. Chose one with a seventh lesson space so I can list after school jobs. Life stuff in there too-that’s the only place I am sure I’ll look. I start the year trying to use my gmail calendar but don’t. Lots of giant post its & to do lists!
