Summer holiday hopes
I always look forward to the summer holidays. Not because I don’t love my job (I do a lot), but because it’s the only time my brain truly manages to switch off from ‘teacher mode’ and goes into ‘Steph mode. It’s the only time of year I manage to be me for a bit. I … Continue reading Summer holiday hopes
The end of the year is upon us…
This has been the strangest way to end a year. As lots of you will know, last Wednesday I was sent into isolation because one of my girls tested positive.

Tales from the classroom: teacher appreciation week
Recently, it was Teacher Appreciation Week (I know I'm late... but y'know what? whatever, ha) and my kids wanted to show their appreciation to all of the staff in school in some way. At the minute, we can't cross bubbles and we're still being quite strict on our COVID rules in school, so we had … Continue reading Tales from the classroom: teacher appreciation week
