Clearing out junk from my attic and getting rid of some old resources. Tried explaining to T what this is!

It feels like January is the wrong time for Dry January!

Catching up on Christmas reading

@RJS2212 Had to compromise on a smaller piece of ham, plus non taste the difference cranberry. Not too bad!

@Mr_SmithEd Assuming you don’t get substitutes, ie no turkey so we’ve sent you some black bin bags instead… no cranberry sauce so we decided you might like shoe polish !!

7-8 o’clock shopping delivery, means that it’s all packed away by 8 and ready for Xmas! Genuinely brilliant.

@charismickitty Hangover??

Headache ✅ Sore throat ✅ Runny nose ✅ Muscle aches ✅ Fatigue ✅ Can only mean one thing… end of term has arrived 🙄

Amazing way to finish the term. A whole school assembly with students performing to their peers. The sports hall was filled with Christmas cheer!

Great start to the Christmas holidays. 10 mins home and engine repair light comes on! 😂😂😂

Performed in the school Christmas concert this evening! Was fantastic to play with the students. Such a wonderful evening! Ow feeling very Christmassy! Finishing off the evening with watching one of the best Christmas specials ever!

@WellsportsPhil @HCCDevon You do it so well at HCC!

Fantastic Christmas lunch @HCCDevon today - a true school community event!

What a way to spend an afternoon! Playing Christmas carols with the school brass ensemble!

Watching the Santa Clause. A rapid transformation to a fat grey haired old man with a beard? Maybe he’s just become a headteacher.

Watching High School Musical for the first time!

This is how we do pumpkins in the Smith household!

At T’s swimming lessons tonight. There’s a lot of pressure as a swimming teacher 1) you’re teaching someone how to save their life or others 2) your pupils could die in your classroom 3) you have all of the parents of your students watching you teach!

Sadly so true. What can then happen is parent’s frustration at just wanting to help their child can be aimed at schools. We need to increase funding to all areas to support the most at crisis. This is affecting disadvantaged students disproportionately. theguardian.com/education/2024…

T helping out painting his school this morning!

Today went better than I thought considering it started with me being my son’s bag and lunch to school coat! 🫣

It’s been 24 years…..

Woke up thinking about a spreadsheet which could be useful for school. Made it and let see if it is! Is that a normal premonition?
