Unwittingly, I asked a child receiving a times table award what six sevens were on Friday. Cue three hundred children laughing and juggling hands. 🤷‍♀️I won’t be asking that particular question again anytime soon 😂

Yesterday #ResearchED was fantastic. Thank you to all the people who give up their time for free to speak at these events. Huge credit to @tombennett71.bsky.social and @hgaldinoshea.bsky.social and their fleet of helpers who make this a highlight of my social calendar each September.

I’m leaving my school after eight years 😭. I will miss the community and my colleagues. September will be a complete change for me. Out of class deputy in a bigger school. Good luck to everyone moving to pastures new. Enjoy your last week and the summer!

Took Reception to see Rosie Robin and the Christmas Post at @littleangeltheatre.bsky.social . Magical and so Christmassy. The children loved it.

Yes, people will post pictures on social media of sleeping arrangements on Xmas Eve and I will once again attempt to leverage this to raise money for charity — just pinning this to my profile to head off the relentless (i.e. sporadic) enquiries

“Why did the Hungry Caterpillar make a cocoon?”

#EYFS child: “So no one bothers him.”

“Sorry?” I ask.

EYFS child: “He needs time to THINK himself INTO a butterfly.”

“Wow!” I respond.

EYFS child: “Well, he didn’t do it by magic.”

I started a starter pack for Primary/EY but ran out of space so might need to start up a second one! Let me know if you think you should be on it :-) go.bsky.app/5qTTDcV

Update on Two-year old provision: Going extremely well and a lovely addition to the school community. Anyone contemplating, take the plunge. Watch out though, their bags are as big as them 🧸🥰

Very much enjoyed hosting The Deanery Mass and welcoming over 130 Catholic teachers from Islington last night to our little school. Once every eight years is probably enough though. 🥱
