I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the latest ep of Full Disclosure with Cariad Lloyd, @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Just a really gorgeous, thoughtful conversation. I’m glassy-eyed but in the nicest way. I’m going to revisit episodes of Griefcast that I hadn’t listened to – I used to love it. Thank you💛

Just verified my age using face scan; it confirmed I’m over 18. Bit rude.

The main way to improve the reading sat would be to take the time element out of it. They can either read and understand it or they can’t. What’s an hour got to do with anything? Let them do it till they’re finished if you want to know if they can read.

Third book of 2025 finished. All teachers should read it. Many (most?) of us will teach and know children living in poverty, like the main character, Will. It is beautifully written and deeply confronting; the sense of Will’s constant state of being on high alert radiates…

Book one of the year underway; I’m going to reinvigorate my love of reading, fiction in particular. Truth is, I still love reading but have a real concentration/focus issue with it and only complete books on holiday now 🤪 What’s the best tracker – Goodreads or The Story Graph?

Inspired by @kateowbridge.bsky.social’s end of year card writing, I doodled a little design and wrote each member of staff a card telling them one thing I appreciate about them in particular. I really need to make more time for drawing and making because I just love it. 😊☕️🧣✨🧡💙🩵

I like to do things to help our JLT feel professional like teach them to shake hands and introduce themselves. I gave our head and deputy pupils a folder with a notebook etc. One of our head pupils shared this in our meeting last week. Give them the tools and they rise to it. 😊📒 #edusky

Australia is planning a social media ban for under 16s and honestly, while the detail needs thought, I’ve been thinking for some time now that I’d welcome a move like this. Interested in what others think. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve never fully got the “why do we learn Pythagoras theorem when we don’t need it in real life” school of thought* because I love learning just for the experience of learning sometimes. In the last week, I’ve randomly learned about Foucault’s Panopticon (🤯) and… #edusky

How to feel like an absolute hero: 1) Arrange with Year 1 teacher to “find” Year 1’s “lost” bear 2) Return said “lost” bear to the classroom 3) Bask in the applause and hugs – “Miss! You found her!” 🧸😂🥰🫶🏽 #edusky

This was on my desk when I came in at lunchtime, after meetings all morning. I hope it’s not indulgent to share… it is really, but I’ll own it. Belonging is my number one value; the fact that one of my colleagues sees this means a lot. Also, I need to do this more for others.

One of @thosethatcan.bsky.social’s practical tips for managing your own wellbeing is put something in your diary to look forward to – big or small. Always have something there. Well, Trevor Noah, you are in my diary 😂🙌🏽🗓️
