What a day! Had just done my morning reg and the alarm went off. Two and a half hours spent standing on a freezing cold hockey pitch this morning while answering “is the bomb squad here?” X1000. Pupils’ eventually all sent home while their bags are still in the classrooms.

Interesting reading. Yet we get so many challenges with getting pupils on time to school/class and kick back about consequences when we know it has such a long term impact. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Last day of summer & start of my 6th year of teaching! Before I go back in I always start with my to do list. So much of ‘free time’ on baker days is wasted with ‘where do I start?’ so going in with a clear list and assigned tasks to each slot of free time is key

Even my simple Apple Weather app can show us this weather (mostly in England) is not normal!

The 'unsellable' Olympic Village homes

Despite the many selling points for E20 in East London, homeowners living in the area now known as the East Village are now struggling or even not allowed to sell their apartments.

Since my 2nd year of teaching I find the most useful way to note feedback is have a blank copy of the exam paper and as I mark, I make notes of the good and the bad - names of great answers who I need to celebrate or common mistakes which I need to readdress or even fully reteach

Brazil launched the "Amazonia" tourism brand for one of the country's largest regions. It was made with letters composed by the Amazon river and captured from a satellite.

#GAConf26 is always a highlight of my Easter holidays filled with great opportunities however - this Easter I’ve been a bit busier - buying my first home!🏠 So today instead of inspiring lectures it’s cleaning dust and unpacking boxes 📦

Anyone teach economic activity at KS3? Would love to see how people sequence it - also includes trade, potentially Almighty Dollar work too

China can't buy oil because Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and so they will buy it from the Russians. Russia will make a lot of money from this war. If Zelensky doesn't reopen the Friendship Pipeline, we Hungarians will have enough oil. But where does Europe get oil from?

Today with my lower band Y8 (Y7 in Eng) we turned to creative writing (not just for English lessons!) but instead using OS map symbols to help to tell their stories 🗺️📍 Was so pleased with how they did!

Spotted one of my pupil’s folders had these stickers on them and I thought it was a genius was to support pupils like her who have organisation issues - so simple and very effective in telling her immediately what days her books are needed.

Can’t remember who or where I saw these writing frame strips but I find they are the best way to get my reluctant Y9s (Y8 in England) to do extended writing - this terms topic - population and the one child policy. 🇨🇳

This amount of card hoarding and double Y8 on the last day before half term can only mean one thing - cereal box island!

What are popular rewards for your classes? Finding something desirable and age appropriate for secondary is hard. TikTok shop (£1~ for 100) travel stickers are going down a treat - but have to be hard fought for - best in test, most impressed by… best homework etc
