I thought I’d seen one somewhere… Thanks

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Does anyone have a breakdown of what options students do in A Level FM nationwide? Anyone know where I could find it? @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @mathsnot.bsky.social Thanks

Don’t work on a Monday, and don’t finish till Thursday, but as I can’t go swimming cos of a perforated eardrum I thought I’d treat myself and sit in sun…until 2 people next to me start smoking - yuck!

We have so many around our area - I keep forgetting to take photos.

I don’t work Mondays currently - which is a good thing because this morning I am deaf in both ears rather than just the one! (Well I can hear somethings, just not the hubby talking 😳)

Very! Excruciating pain Monday night and still painful.

Try and find the 80s? film ‘The gods must be crazy’ - they film the animals eating the Marulas and getting drunk, which we used to see whilst living in Botswana.

Sounds good. Want to go somewhere, and did want to go away over Easter, but now have a perforated eardrum so good job I’m not flying anywhere - also have another week of school 😢

So - does anyone have a list of good YouTubers for #ALevelMaths and #ALevelFurtherMaths? I’m trying to collate a list but don’t want to reinvent the wheel… I know there is @tayyubmajeed.bsky.social and @bicenmaths.bsky.social - who else? @robeastaway.bsky.social @maths

My best one was free from Nespresso - think they’re about £22. Doesn’t leak and stays hot.

Period 6, on a Friday, with windy weather, and year 9s…will he survive?

#gcsephysics teachers. Help! I’ve just started at a new school teaching Maths, but I have 2 physics classes as well, and the resources are fairly nonexistent. Where do you recommend I look for lessons on Waves (yr 9/10). TIA

We’ve had this as well for 5. Got potatoes, parsnips & all the red cabbage left.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

I’m now collapsed on the sofa - I only did 30 minutes, my sister did an hour and a half!!!

Merry Christmas - just about to go and get mine - already been for a swim this morning.

Merry Christmas. I’ve just been for a swim!

Bailey is not happy 😢

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

I found Core Maths hard with grade 4/5 students as well, we then tried to make it only for those with 5+ on Higher - just to make it a bit easier.

I had that earlier in the week, and felt dreadful on Tuesday…however, now I’m here and I’m fine! Hope your last week goes quickly.

So apparently this is known as a sun dog ice crystals…learn something new every day!

All 4 photos show a blue sky with high cirrus clouds around the sun, causing a rainbow spot of light to the left or right of the sun

I’ve been doing this for years…

Have a good day everyone! In lounge waiting for our flight.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

I had completely forgotten about this challenge. Will have to download it so I can have a go at it on the plane ✈️ tomorrow…sorry girls!

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Still can’t get my head around the fact that I’m going away on Wednesday! It’s term time! As I’m doing supply this term, we decided we would make the most of the flexibility and so we are off for 10 days - going for some sunshine (hopefully!). Start at a new school on 5th Jan!

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

I bought some last weekend. I went to have one on Sunday evening to find one left. Apparently because I left them out I was inviting OH to eat them!

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Oh and it still happens in college - ‘what do you mean I’m talking…!’

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Great stuff. Thanks Hannah - I’ve always given it to one set.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Yeah I know, but someone ‘always’ does…and then it appears on YT!

000

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

I’m hoping to see it tomorrow when I’m in work, but also if anyone has any ideas for P2 & 3 I’d also be pleased to see them.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Has anyone done a #gcsemaths predicted paper 2 yet? Thanks

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

This looks like a really good idea.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Gatwick is busy (start of some half terms) but we still managed to get in a lounge (the family friendly one) which does pizza and fish finger sandwiches! Strangely it is quieter than the other lounges… And we’re going to work on a triathlon in Dubrovnik so not all holiday!

020

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Coffee & sparkling water for breakfast!

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Follow @coremathscat.bsky.social and @reflectivemaths.bsky.social for good stuff. I personally preferred AQA to Edexcel. Students do better if they have at least a 5 (preferably in Higher) as understanding is generally better.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

My grade 4/5 students used to find it hard. We did AQA 2A (stats) and some of them found that and the Finance stuff hard. Thinking they’ve done higher than it is easier for them.

010

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Couldn’t make it this year. Hope you all had a good time.

010

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

I know! Plus the costs go up exponentially as well! One school near us has half term w/b 20/10, we’re going to Dubrovnik to work on our triathlon on 26/10 & our flights are lots more than OH usually pays. I can go cos I’m now a sessional teacher/lecturer & have taken week off.

000

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

I know they don’t run any to Dubrovnik after October so maybe?

100

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

Ah yes - we had trouble getting into one of those when we were away last year.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

Actually a lot of those using lounges at Gatwick are on freebies with their package tour…not like it used to be

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

From the 7th floor of hospital. Not bad either.

Nicola L @nkl17.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

This is exactly how I was. On a ‘support’ plan, told my lessons were crap, not differentiating enough, behaviour etc… 3 learning walks in 2 days, no mentoring etc..hardly any LM meeting, never told I was doing any good - but no complaints from SEN dept etc. was feeling very bullied.
