Mr F

What an almighty journey it took to finally get here! First day as an officially qualified teacher/ECT/NQT/teacher is DONE! The most surreal feeling!

I wanted to do leadership, maybe even one day become a headteacher but there are so many things that have made me no longer want to progress in education. I need to prioritise my mental & physical health & decide what I wanna do with my future. If anyone can persuade me I'm open!

Its been a minute! Currently unsure if I want to carry on teaching, which makes me really sad. I've LOVED being a teacher & the reward this job comes with is incomparable. However, I'm mentally & physically drained & have been putting on a face just to get on with it...

Had the most incredible holiday in Egypt! 🐪🇪🇬🌴 Soo not ready to be in work mode again soon! 🥺

@fidsta77 Heyyy! Thank you! It has indeed been a while!

@_MrF212 Heyyy 👋 lovely to see you back on my TL… congratulations 🥳

Been a while! After 3 & a half years at my first school teaching Y5, I'll be moving on to a new school in North London teaching Y3! SO sad to be saying goodbye to the most amazing group of people I've ever worked with but ready for a change & for somewhere new!

@MrEagletonIan @MariahCarey AMAZING!!!

While #MariahCarey and #TheEmancipationOfMimi are trending, I thought I’d share this letter I wrote to @mariahcarey again about my book Glitter Boy, which is about a kid who loves Mariah! I don’t know if she ever saw it…maybe one day! #Lambily #LGBTQ 🦋🐑💓🌈🦄

@cwr101 I just need to rest more when I'm tired (physically & mentally) as I always ignore it & just carry on. Finally learning that in my 30's 😬

I know it could be worse but its been a RUBBISH half term 🙃😂 Have been ill the entire week & still not any better now. In the same week my asthma has returned & I now also need to start wearing glasses. They also stated about stress causing a variety of factors with my health.

@MrOHeadTeacher Thank you!

@_MrF212 Ah, poor fella. Hope you feel better soon.

@jeb_mr Thank you!

@_MrF212 Sorry to hear this. Health first so curl up and sleep.

@MissEmmaTurner Thank you! I'm one of those people who refuses/hates to call sick unless I am told to go home as a day off stresses me out - which actually results in me being told off 😂 Yeah the glasses were just an unexpected cost to my week so I'm just being a bit sensitive 😂

@_MrF212 Maybe you need additional time off? Fully rest and feel better soon. Stress can contribute to so many health factors. Glasses are an ageing thing I’m sure of it. Got to choose a frame myself.

Been a long time since I've appeared here! 🙋🏽‍♂️ Life has been busy and tiring to say the least... First day of half term and I of course catch the flu...Typical! 😬

@MrMillinchip Wow! 😍

Here we go. Term 2. #internationalteacher

This made me quite emotional yesterday - in a good way. I feel so lucky to have a job that impacts children in this way & I feel honoured & privileged to be a teacher in this position. Even on the toughest of days, its little reminders like this that keep me going 🙌🏾

AND ITS THE HOLIDAYS!!!! 🥳🎄🙌🏾 My gosh we deserve this break! Its been a LONG term - one of the longest I've ever had so far in my opinion. I hope you ALL have an amazing Christmas with your loved ones & get a good rest & eat as much food as possible! 🫶🏾

@MRMICT Love the retrieval card & the design! Did you make these yourself? I might trial this after Christmas with my class!

@LeeBraganza Very kind of you to say! 😂

@_MrF212 Yeah but you are as well hunky man so I'm discounting you already.

Don't even bother doing any exercise this month. I did like ten press ups yesterday and now can't move my upper body. Give up and just eat mince pies.
