@Debbie1Alston Thanks Debbie. Taught my first lesson yesterday and that seemed to go well. Let's inspire some new zoology students!

@astonreevey So glad that has worked out for you Amanda - enjoy and wow them with your knowledge and enthusiasm !

I am now doing my teacher placement at Broomfield college. Teaching Animal Care. Absolutely love it! #teacher #teaching #teacherintraining #PGCE #animalcare #zoology

@rjcini Good to hear xx

@astonreevey I'm getting there Amanda

been in abit of a rut lately but yesterday reminded me why I like nature so much, went galavanting round various South London green spaces to look at plants and stuff

@RobStokes42 @DerbyUni @derbycollege Congratulations Rob. I'm hoping to join you this year for my PGCE so might see you soon!!

5yrs ago I never would of thought id be a teacher of plant science, ecosystems, evolution and stuff! yet here I am loving my new job at Broomfield College. Would like to say a massive thank you to the Zoology and PGCE lecturers at @DerbyUni and Broomfield @derbycollege

Ive been busy starting my #PGCE this week with @DerbyUni Cant wait to become an animal science teacher. Fingers crossed! #animalscience #zoology #teacher #post14

@Debbie1Alston @RobStokes42 It's always nice to get to know names. Always helps xx I hope you see keeping well Debbie. I might bump into you at uni 😊

@astonreevey @RobStokes42 Room for you both I am sure as Rob is in Countryside and you’ll be after animal management 👍, but he is a very nice chap and may be a useful contact for next year.

Enrolled at @DerbyUni to start my #PGCE and now enjoying a #SanMiguel at Birmingham airport for a flight to sunny #Scotland to see the best one #happydays #holiday #zoologyteacher #teaching #teacherinthemaking

@Debbie1Alston @DerbyUni @RobStokes42 Must admit I am quite partial to a #SanMiguel 🤣 Well done to @RobStokes42 although I hope he has left me some teaching time. I would love a job there!!

@astonreevey @DerbyUni Seems to be a bit of a theme there..... #SanMiguel Really glad you are doing the PGCE at Derby. One of last years Zoology graduates @RobStokes42 has just finished that course and has just been offered some teaching at Broomfield (well, I need to write him a nice reference 1st)

@bazmolloy4 Yeah it's beautiful. Cant wait to go back x

@astonreevey Placed was jammed. Cracking place aint it 🙌🏻😊

Great wee day with this Legend (& Bruno 🐶)cracking walk around Woolaton Park. Nice getting a pic in front of Wayne Manor! 🙌🏻🦇🤵

@Debbie1Alston @DerbyUnion You deserve this Debbie xx Such a fantastic lecturer and inspiration to us zoology folk. You really are xx

Thank you to the person who nominated me for the Inspirational Teaching award at last nights @DerbyUnion Educational Awards. The nomination was very humbling and means a great deal to me. 😀👍

@natalie_knb That's so cool. I've never seen a slow worm in real life!

finally discovered someone under the artificial refuge on the heath! a small slow worm friend has made it her home 🥰

How to celebrate the end of university....#sanmiguel and a #bbq

@Debbie1Alston I'll be having a little tipple later with my kids. I'm just nervous about my grade now...a 2.1 will be the icing on the cake for me. It's been a very hard 3yr and that will make it all worth while. Fingers crossed x

@astonreevey Well done 👏👏👏. I hope you have something suitable to hand to celebrate with. 🍺🍸

My #dissertation has been sent. That's it. I have finished my degree. Fingers crossed for a good grade!! I sure deserve one after the 3yr I've had!! #zoology #derbyuni

Just submitted my last piece of coursework for #sciencecommunication Just the #dissertation to go now and thatll be sent tmrw! #fingerscrossed #zoology #Derbyuni

@_taylabareham @DerbyUni Well done sweet!

@Debbie1Alston I actually didnt know that Debbie so that's reassuring thank you 😊

@astonreevey It will be fine, then you can relax a bit. Don't forget there is the Uni Covid 19 No Detriment policy as the safety net which won't allow you to have a lower grade for this semester than last. as Jane Goodall says #goforit

Well done to all my #zoology friends who have their results for their degree. I still havent sent my final piece. Im too scared to submit my #dissertation 🤦‍♀️ Cant wait to be able to say I managed to graduate (regardless of the result) after a pretty awful 3yrs! #fingerscrossed

@Debbie1Alston I will do Debbie. Just scared I dont pass! I'll have a drink and send it and hope for the best 🤣

@astonreevey You will get there Amanda, I have every faith in you, but please do press that submit button for your dissertation before the end of 3rd July, so we can congratulate you too when it is your time!
