Happy Paddy’s Day all! Note “Paddy’s” NOT “Patties” Day. No matter how long I live away from home, I will NEVER get over having to go to work on St Patrick’s Day…it’s not right!!! I should be at a parade or in a pub right now!

DfE's secret plan to cut special school expansion: Yes, Schools must be more inclusive, but it’s utopia to think real-world mainstream can cater for so many needs, or that LAs won’t cut provision to match guidelines not need. And a “Trust” run by whom? schoolsweek.co.uk/revealed-d...

Revealed: DfE's secret plan to cut special school expansion

Councils will be given top marks by the government if their SEND reform proposals include “little to no” plans to increase special school capacity

March is Endometriosis awareness month.Sometimes I wish I was less “aware” of this horrible disease that has such an impact on my life but it’s so important to get people educated-an estimated 1 in 10 females suffer but it still takes an average 8-10 years to get a diagnosis!The gaslighting is real

Wow.

Loving spending time back in Ireland in my “Happy Place” for the last week. Home really is “Where the heart is!” My favourite thing was listening my 16 yr old developing a hint of a Cork accent after spending time with her cousins, makes my heart happy ❤️

Summer holidays-the only time I get to read for pleasure. Read this awesome book in an afternoon @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social Made me laugh & cry & gave me just a little insight into my daughters world. An afternoon well spent

Summer hols have officially started! You’ll find me here until I am wrinkly like a prune!

Super satisfying job done before breaking up for summer @threebridgessch.bsky.social All my iPads and Chromebooks relabelled and trollies labelled. All displays down, surfaces cleared and everything ready for first day back! I am officially doing ZERO school work over the summer hols.

Can’t believe we have another FULL WEEK to go before we break up for Summer! Voting for a 2 week half term in October seemed like a great idea at the time, however having to make up the days now and dragging myself to the end of term is not the one! Literally cannot keep my eyes open this afternoon

Struggling with a whole week still left to go. Found these pics on my phone & reminded of why I love my job so much. Baby bird fell out of its nest, I put it in a box & brought it inside,when I came back out the kids had built it a nest on the ground until it could get back to its mum! 🥹 🥰

A fab day of Robotics workshops in Y1-3 courtesy of our good friend @eatsleepictrepeat.bsky.social and @eduthingltd.bsky.social . Throughly recommended, educational and fun, the children loved them. Can’t wait to welcome him back next year @threebridgessch.bsky.social

Living with a chronic illness/invisible disability is so tiring. Simple things like journies by public transport, deep cleaning my house, helping redecorate my daughters room…lead to a massive flare up. Curled up in bed with a hot water bottle dosed up on painkillers. #endometriosis #adenomyosis

One of the biggest acts of vandalism by the Conservative government was the getting rid of Sure Start centres. This is welcome news and definitely a step in the right direction

Enlightening day at the CAS Conference @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Made some good contacts and presented my research project.

Just arrived at the venue for the Computing At Schools Conference today! Wow! If this is what King’s College is all about, I can’t wait to start my MA next year!!

Today we welcomed our new friends from Wolf Fields Primary to @threebridgessch.bsky.social for a “Computing Challenge Day”. The children worked in mixed teams to complete green screen, animation and physical computing challenges. It was such an enjoyable day and we can’t wait to do it again!

Today was a day where I feel super grateful to do what I do! I helped to sort out an issue with a boy who really struggles to make good choices & later in the day he came to show me an awesome piece of work he had done! Then I took Y3 Kayaking, fun in the sun taking in nature on our doorstep.

Someone at work today told me that my nails bring them joy! The kids always ask what I’ve got on my nails today. Well this week it’s rainbows to celebrate the month that’s in it and if that spreads joy, then so be it!

I loved her before, love her even more now. Cannot wait to see her perform live in London in August

So far this half term, I have done no work, so today I begrudgingly took out the trusty laptop. But working outside, in the sunshine, in my little garden, listening to the birds has made it quite enjoyable! I must be getting old when seeing my flowers growing makes me so happy!
