I love my job, but wow it can be overwhelming sometimes!
Thought I’d check my student finance account with all the current discourse on it- won’t be long before it hits 100k 😅😳
After spending a week with my class it feels so strange to be back on supply 😅
Really enjoyed this session, looking forward to the next one!
I'm going to my new school tomorrow to meet with the current class teacher - what should I ask? (Already got a list but want to make sure I've not forgotten something!)
Day 11:
• 50 minute low cardio at the gym
• homemade butter chicken curry for tea!

I put the electric blanket on so it’s warm when you get into bed!

Serious post:
Look after yourself this year.
Nothing is more important than your health- mental and physical.
Few things in life are worth compromising these over.
Prioritise diet, exercise and sleep.
All the best tomorrow.
You got this 💪🏼.

In this Year of Reading, a gentle reminder:
The best way to get your kids reading is to let them see *you* reading. The way to *stop* your kids reading is to criticize their choices, or to make reading a competition, or a punishment, or a race, or a learning tool. Let it be fun. Let them read.
It's the national year of reading in the uk in 2026. Instead of asking "why don't kids read any more", ask "how can I help them find the stories (and non fic) they will fall in love with". Less "get off my lawn whippersnappers" and more "come, sit on the lawn, here's a comic".
Day 2:
• wintery walks
• leftover chicken pasta
• meditation
• a slow start to the day

Day 1:
• 50 minute gym session & a 50 minute evening walk
• sausage traybake & Cajun chicken pasta
• quick evening journal
• lots of reading and rest

Making a thread of this to keep myself accountable!
Rita Pierson’s every child needs a champion was my first thought! Very impactful!
Hey everyone! I’ve just come back into early years education and would love to make some new connections!
