@Miss_LBleaks Spanner packed! 🤣

🔧 This is a spanner. Please use it to throw at any colleague who makes any inset meeting go longer by asking self serving questions. Use it well and good luck. #BackToSchool

@Miss_LBleaks Sorry to hear it’s not been a great year for you. Hope you can have a lovely summer break with your family.

This has been the most traumatic year of my professional life. I have removed emails from my phone. I have muted the work WhatsApps. I have put my lanyard in the glovebox of my car. 2024/2025 is not a year I will look back fondly on, but I survived it 👍🏼 #SummerHolidays

@Miss_LBleaks @WomenEd Well done for going for it. Shame as you would’ve been amazing at it!

Today I went for a job that 12 months ago I never would have dreamed applying for. I didn’t get it, but having the backing of my department and lots of other staff really made me feel validated. Not how I hoped to end the term, but feeling #10%braver @WomenEd

Enjoying the culture in Brussels🇧🇪 after a manic 8-week first term.

@MrsGusMaths @PearsonEdexcel @AQAMaths @OCR_Maths @ofqual Yes they will do. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Can anyone confirm if formula sheets will be given in GCSEs this summer? My exams officer and I have differing information. @PearsonEdexcel @AQAMaths @OCR_Maths @ofqual

The lovely Billy has cast his vote for Ablaze in his local @Tesco. If you see Ablaze as an option in your local store please pop your blue token in the Ablaze box so we can receive a £1,500 Stronger Starts grant. #StrongerStarts

A great lesson with Year 11 today. Creating a revision poster and then applying it to exam questions. They’ve come such a long way in the last year, highly rewarding!

@Miss_LBleaks Hope it goes well. Have you still got your dice or are you raiding the maths department again?

The complex sentences game is being used tomorrow. BRING OUT THE DICE @cchapman85 🎲🎲

@Miss_LBleaks 🤣🤣

@cchapman85 OH 😂 I get it … WOW. My brain is mush.

Looking forward to following my fellow professionals somewhere a bit less musky!

Trying to take the dog out for a final toilet while there are 2 hedgehogs in the garden is a new level of challenge 🤣

A great day!

@oldandrewuk We’ve lost a class in each year but an increase in the number of students…

Teachers and people who work in schools: What are you least looking forward to about next academic year?

Received some lovely cards from students (and 1 parent) this year. Makes the job worth it!

@MissDalyEnglish @mtpt_project We both have it on our phones and then add to it where needed (e.g. I’ll put my school calendar on it over the summer holidays). We only use the free bits and it works well for us.

@cchapman85 @mtpt_project Thank you- I’ve downloaded it to have a look at!

In September, my husband will be a headteacher and I will be returning from maternity leave to my AHT role. I’m nervous about our schedules and childcare. Does anyone use an app or website that helps you sync work calendars/family life to see potential clashes? @mtpt_project

@MsT31415 @draustinmaths Got to be GoTeachMaths for me.

I really want to purchase a bank of resources for my department to use that are easily accessible, adaptable and follow a I do we do you do, mini whiteboards kind of flow. I feel overwhelmed with the options. Anyone got any recommendations?

Bye bye Gillian, you won’t be missed.

@PCMaths Controversial perhaps but I don’t mind the new GCSE Casio. Yes it was horrible the first few times I used it, but it’s good when you get used to it. My Year 10 class have no problems with it.

Seem to think there was a discussion about alternatives to the latest classwiz calculator recently but I can’t find the posts, were any feasible, non graphical, alternatives identified for A level/GCSE?
