Really enjoyed your photo; it gave the opportunity for the positive memories without the pressure. Thank you for posting.

Mam always took us, now I take my kids when we are up. This is the first Christmas without her and I just couldn’t do it in person.

Awesome. I’m glad you posted this as I couldn’t face going this year.

I’d second Carcassonne and Azul, Quest for El Dorado is also good. Have you tried looking at Shut up and Sit down or Dice Tower for reviews? Also for purchases try boardgameprices.co.uk as it links to local games shops and often has better deals than amazon.

As we the holidays draw to an end and middle leaders begin thinking about professional development. I thought a post on a model of teacher change may provide some thoughtful reading. open.substack.com/pub/stevenke...

Thank you for your kind words. Absolutely agree regarding humility.

Really enjoyed reading this, a timely link to Gutmann’s Unseen Leader, which I’ve been reading.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Really enjoyed this, very informative. Links to meeting science with sense making being one of the lenses to understand meetings (my MA). I've written about this for middle leaders on my substack (shameless plug).

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

That’s exactly what made me put it down. Having read your post, I need to try again.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Congratulations, I’ve recently taken the same big step with my own substack. Enjoyed your first blog - always struggled with Moby Dick - and subscribed.

Ouch! Hope he has a speedy recovery. (Side note - sleutelbeen, “Keybone” is collarbone?)

Oh no. Hope he’s OK despite the injuries.

It's a common phrase in books on school culture. I've just used it in my (shameless plug) substack on Hidden Curriculum that should be posting on Tuesday.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

In the spirit of keeping a promise, I've decided to start a substack aimed at school leaders, primarily middle leaders. If you like a bit of fantasy metaphor with your organisation research / theory, check out my newsletter. The Magical Relics of Meeting Insight open.substack.com/pub/stevenke...

After a rough year, I’m revisiting my MA research and considering writing a piece on meeting theory / science. #edusky #UKed Is anyone interested?

2 days left then the academic year ends for me. This has been the hardest year.

If just a fraction of my followers watched this playlist whilst logged into youtube this holiday, my channel would get monetised, allowing me to pay for the upkeep on the PhysicsEd website. Are you able to help me? Pls repost to help out. Thank you. Dan www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Snap! It has been a rough one this time around.

Weekends… Yes, I think I remember them :) Hope you can take advantage of proximity to London.

Once worked at a BOC Gas and Gear centre. We used to take in propane cylinders that had been in fires from our recovery crew. Several went this kind of distance so easy to believe.

As a HoD/HoF it's great when my new planner arrives from Japan (even if it's the 2025 one). Just wish I could get a planner like this without importing

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 01/09/2024

No booklets for any of our science departments.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 30/08/2024

I love Google Classroom for it’s simplicity and speed. In department we have really made use of the robust hyperlinks possible with Google Docs to partner with Classroom. Really supports adaptive teaching and strengthens sharing through the SOW.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 28/08/2024

First day back. Pens ready for INSET, planner set with schedule. Let's do this.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 27/08/2024

Good luck, hope the move goes well.

Always difficult trying to balance natural advantages eg. Limb length with the impact of BW for these competitions.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 24/08/2024

Outstanding achievement! Unlikely my former student is there. Just looked him up: www.openpowerlifting.org/u/henrygolds... Ratio to BW is a cool way to standardise.

Also possible he’s in a higher weight class (he put on a lot of size in Y13)

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 24/08/2024

Not sure, he only said he was competing over the hols.

Steve Kettle @physicsmrkettle.bsky.social · 24/08/2024

Awesome lift! He might be competing against a former pupil of mine.

Spent an entire day learning the cup song from Pitch Perfect, complete with variations of passing the cups as a group. Allegedly to make us aware of what it felt like to be out of our comfort zone for IB CAS.

I think I’m going to need to find some dog posts to like. That should bring balance back to my feed :)

@drdavidboyce.bsky.social Having used this app for a few days I have a bone to pick with you. I appear to have liked your question regarding posting about cats and now my feed keeps giving me cat stories! This is indoctrination! I refuse to give in :)
