An empty desk can only mean the end of another school year. Today I finish my 26th year as a teacher.
After more than a quarter century in the classroom, here are five things I’ve learned:

I confiscated this phone at the start of the day.
Compliant student- handed it over, no issues, I said I would return at the end of the day.
Do you know how many times it pinged/vibrated in my office?
Over 78 times.
Please don't tell me they are not a distraction.

Looking forward to seeing how many ducklings we have this year.
Must also see if any of the students can make a scare crow this year!

A lovely week back.
The kids were on form.
A few new arrivals too. Eggciting times...as long as the crow keeps away.

Cows are actually really good swimmers and in Ireland they’re taken by boat to graze on offshore islands

***LESSON ROUTINES***
Helping our Year 6s feel ready for high school.
We’re sharing stories of the school day, with a little help from Lenny to build confidence, reduce worries, and give everyone a glimpse of what to expect.

Leaders: if you are still doing or planning a "mocksted" or mock inspection of any kind, you should not do that.
I get that ofsted anxiety is high and legitimate. Genuinely. But this isnt the way. It's totally toxic, and I 100% guarantee staff will not see it the way you do, however much you say "don't do anything differently" or "this isn't for ofsted, it's developmental."
Trust me. Other routes to school improvement are available.

Hmmm… why does X translate the the wrong thing! “O zi bună” means have a good day, not good morning!
