It's that one day each year that takes me back to my service 20 years ago and reminds me how lucky I am to have my life, family and career as a teacher today.

So unbelievably proud of our BGA poetry winners tonight when they recited their poems for the large crowds at Elefest at @blackpoolzoo. Every child in the school wrote a poem & these poems were selected as the best! Talk about a real purpose for writing @PieCorbett @Talk4Writing

Back in 2008 I motorcycled around the world with a friend. In Kiev (Ukraine) a family took us in and gave us a bed for the night. They gave us a prayer and I wrote it in my diary and forgot about it. Reading it today, the words really hit home! #Ukraine

Some of the KS2 pupils visited Lancashire Energy HQ for an Eco Science Event with other schools. They made a heart in the engineering dept with copper & visited a simulator for energy whilst giving instructions to each other to keep it working. @bfcengineering

The children in Year 4 have enjoyed exploring circuits. They made things work and took apart plugs to see what was inside. 💡🔌

My 6 year old daughter wrote me a note and put it in my pocket. Obviously not working enough 😅

We must also thank the 5 Friends of Gateway members (formerly called the PTFA) who supported at tonight’s event too. Thank you Kamela, Louise, Daniel, Jo & Tina, without you the fair would not have been possible. Your help is much appreciated.

Thought I would do the honourable thing and de-ice my wife's car this morning. Accidently took her keys to work with me and had to drive home again making us both super late 🙈
