Everyone in education, give yourselves a round of applause for surviving another year; big shout out to #TeamWoodbridge for completing the academic year with equanimity and aplomb and @elliefahy.bsky.social for keeping me sane whilst making me laugh throughout!
Enjoy the next 1,073 hours or so!

Happy Monday!

I realised as I walked to work this morning that I'd forgotten to get flowers for the classroom so I foraged as I walked; these wildflowers brighten the classroom just as well as anything I could have bought (possibly more as they were free!)

I’m telling myself that either my brain is still on half-term or I deliberately lost because it’s good for the students’ well-being to beat a member of staff at Scrabble 🫣

I've been reading certain classics at least biennially since my teens: Pride & Prejudice, Great Expectations, Mill on the Floss et al. @michellebark.bsky.social has summed up why perfectly: "enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive we might imagine them walking into our living room"

The icy sleet didn’t dampen our trip to #LondonMuseumDocklands yesterday; so much history and heritage discovered, learned and enjoyed 3/3

Less ‘Blue Monday’, more ‘Point of View Monday’; a stunning sunset at the end of a great day

Libraries are pure magic. They’re more than books—they’re portals to other worlds, safe havens for curious minds, and the heart of every community. Whether it’s a cosy corner to read or a digital catalogue full of endless adventures, libraries have it all. Support yours today

Really productive ELSA Interventions using Lego Therapy to promote social interaction and test skills including turn-taking, problem solving and communication. Vehicle (and charging station) successfully completed after two sessions.

Nothing will top the satisfaction of completing the GCHQ challenge yesterday. Team work really did make the dream work; I would probably still be struggling without the analytical skills of our year 9 and year 8 code breakers 🤔

Monday began with Culinary Mindfulness. Baking is an art form: some go minimalist while others perfected their Jackson Pollock style!

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

From the second I stepped out this morning, I knew it was going to be a good day.

Half an hour’s walk and a stunning sunrise does wonders for my psyche (better than an Americano with a Caramel Shot); excellent start to the day

The students were excited. Me? Not so much
Happy Tuesday.
