I shouldn't be worried, the class is great, the lesson is planned & solid, I know the content inside out, I know the focus of the observation is questioning & teaching to the top.

Today my yr13's made me feel so old.
We were looking at a timeline of digitisation, and they asked me about what we did all day without the internet.
How did we arrange to meet with friends?
How did we do our homework?
How did UCAS work - amazed at hand written applications

What a week!
Finished at 12.00 today & although it was only the week 1 it feels like week 4 or 5.
The students were lovely and excited to be back & in my class, which is lovely. The lessons went well, but I am already feeling overwhelmed and disorganised.
I have had no time to do any writing :(

I know technically it is still August but we are heading into my favourite season.
I love the autumn, the run up to Holloween and spooky season. I can't wait to get out the snuggle clothes and curl up on the sofa with a good book, my cross stitch and of course my furbabies.

Aim: to combat the idea that the only important subjects are maths/eng, to answer the question “why do we even learn geography?” Oh and to show that geography is everywhere!
I’m quite happy with this years one!🥰

So partial success this mornings - both cats were in the house when the Vet arrived.
Gizmo was a good boy, had a check up, got his jab and claws clipped.
Dre however managed to headbutt his way through the locked Cat flap and escaped just as the Vet arrived.
I am anticipating retribution
