As a teacher, I HONESTLY don’t think there is anything better than when you read a story and you see a field of faces caught up in your every word. I had that today reading to EYFS up to year 6. Been a tough week and reminded me why I am a teacher #WorldBookDay2024

If you are are a teacher saying you can’t afford to strike, I agree. I also know my dad had 3 kids (me one of them) and went out to strike so you could have your PPA. Imagine not having PPA. He lost wages for that. And you now Benefit as a teacher.

I’ve cancelled meals with friends. We have cancelled a work Christmas night out. We’re not going to do a whole school shared buffet now. Staff meetings on hold. Masks, social distancing & bubbles in play. Teachers are putting safety first across the country. Please remember that.

I’ve sneaked my son’s first ever drill into his kit bag for next week. Pay back for all the pranks he has played on me over the years…

It sometimes hits hard when you realise how many years of love and life you were robbed of. Thinking of Rob. It will be 13 years tomorrow since he died and not a day has gone by where he hasn’t been missed.

10 years have passed away without you. You missed that baby becoming a beautiful child. You missed your son becoming a man. And I just missed you.

If you want to know strength, it is my middle dragon. Her dad died when she was 6 months old and she doesn’t find things easy. She told me she wrote this when she felt low to keep herself strong. She just won the competition to be in a poetry book. Love her.

Our timetable is super tight. After checking it was ok to do, the last half hour on Friday I’ve called ‘Our time.’ I get to chat to the kids, learn about them as people. They can do what they want. This is what happened today. In 30 mins. Imagine if we had more time for this.

I’m really pleased I made the decision to swap to hessain. I hope the room will feel calming and the children will love it. I made it with love. My author wall looks sensational in my new class library. Thanks you so very much to all who helped make it special for their return.
