Sorry to interrupt your holidays but the Eden Project in Cornwall is offering free online learning lessons www.edenproject.com/learn/school...

Online volunteer training completed. Looking forward to this year’s @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social. And the words in the introduction to the training about letting go are making me think.

First Monday of the holidays PhD supervision meeting (always a positive experience even when it’s challenging), a little meander around Lincoln with a bit of shopping and then a run later. What about you? Sorry to those of you still teaching, you’re almost there!

One of the best things I have ever done. I have leant so much from my colleagues on the Executive and it’s been a privilege to share my knowledge & experience with others. If you are a Primary RE Subject Leader do consider standing. It’s not just for secondary RE specialists

Thought of Dawn Cox tonight on my run as we were running part of the route I ran the day of her memorial service. I paused again to remember her and all she gave to #RETeachers

Good start to half term with my fastest parkrun in over 2 years, and back under 30 minutes for the first time in a year.

Today in my PhD supervision meeting I was complimented on my use of a semi colon. I was reminded of my secondary school English teacher commenting on a ‘heinous grammatical error’ when I failed to use semi colons correctly. He’s probably no longer around but “Thank you Mr Kettle for your teaching”!

Birmingham bound for my last @natre-update.bsky.social residential executive meeting. Can’t quite believe I’m starting my final year of my last term on exec. I’ve loved my time supporting the work of teachers of RE and I’ve gained so much. Just have to work out what comes next…
