First time as a SATs parent this week! Double whammy of eldest in Y6 and youngest in Y2 is doing the optional assessments to take advantage of the quiet, calm atmosphere the school creates in this week! Already had the first dojo update with a very smiley boy (pic of his in-school support system!)

6 years ago but still makes me beam with pride every time this photo shows up in my Facebook memories.

My amazing choir sang, This Is Me, in St Albans Abbey and it was such a joy. ❤️

Love Your Pet Day! Excellent - he’s even gone for a groom ❤️

In Year 10, after a trip to Belgium with GCSE and A Level History students, those on the trip were given this badge to wear for the two weeks in the lead up to Holocaust Memorial Day.

It represents a story of a Jewish man who was attacked whilst walking down an alley way.

Anybody else watched this from @nationalgeographic.bsky.social on Disney+?

The Story of God with Morgan Freeman.

It’s my current binge-watch. Interesting structure, really varied lived experiences and worldviews brought into the theme of each episode.

Starting the term off with a snow day meaning the house is a little busier than planned for whilst I deliver some online inset!

Thankfully my husband’s also home to fend off child requests this morning!

Snow day ❄️

Glad my sister-in-law made the call to come round with my nephew yesterday, they wouldn’t have been getting to us today!

Buddy (dog!) is loving it!

Back to work after a lovely break. One of my highlights was celebrating in a mixed household so we shared both Christmas and the start of Hanukkah with each other.

When you work from home 90% of the time but the snow comes on a travel day 🙈❄️

What a brilliant start to the afternoon with @krysmcinnis.bsky.social. Loved starting off with a moment of reflection before delving into diversifying and decolonising.

Always fab to come together as a programmes team. Exciting future plans are happening today…

That is some good sleuthing! Quick google search…this is the sort of thing we saw in Balinese gardens. I think they tend to have 3 in a certain part of their courtyard/gardens and then have a daily offering and decorate them for festivals.

I think hurting my back may have scuppered my Heritage Open Days plans for the week ahead.

Would be interested to hear what places #TeamRE are going to!

Looking forward to seeing photos too…

#TeamRE my church visit this summer was with my lovely colleague @re-with-gerriy.bsky.social to Durham Cathedral. Beautiful peace dove installation like a chandelier in the centre of the cathedral too.
