Half term is... A time for me to switch off for a minute. For me to see friends that I've not seen for a while. A time for me to breathe. Time to get creative. An opportunity for me to read all of the books. The time I spend with my family. A time to … Continue reading Half term is…

A month in the life of me…
In January, I... Moved to Year 6. Was terrified. Was excited. Dealt with some school stuff. Coped well with a lot of change. Realised some things about myself. Managed a whole month in Year 6. Worked my arse off. Realised that sometimes you've just gotta do what you can cause you can't always do everything. … Continue reading A month in the life of me…
2 down, 2 to go!
Last week was week 2 in my Second School Placement and what a week it was! It was a total rollercoaster of a week. I had some definite down moments, but there were some real up moments too! Getting to grips with new kids, behaviour systems and new ways of managing behaviour is definitely the … Continue reading 2 down, 2 to go!
2017 Book Survey
Hello! We're in 2018 now, but I thought I would spend some time reflecting on the amazing bookish year I had in 2017 with this brilliant End of Year Book Survey.

2017. What a year.

What a year 2017 has been, ay kids? We've been through a lot here.

As a blogger: I went from a … Continue reading 2017: what a year!
Some weeks are better than others…
Monday brings a reflection of the week gone and my word, what a week last week was. If you didn't already know, we had Ofsted in. I don't have much to say about the experience, except it was stressful, frustrating, exhausting and tough. I did lots of teaching (as a student, I'm slightly different to … Continue reading Some weeks are better than others…
Stop. Breathe. Reflect.

Seeing an old crush. Genuine conversation. Potential plans. Beauty and the Beast. Being productive. Having lazy days. Listening to the rain. Being out in the sunshine. Friends. More laughter. Reading. … Continue reading Stop. Breathe. Reflect.
5 weeks down…
Morning! Week 5 has been done and dusted and it's mad to think that I'm 5 weeks through my teacher training... 2 more weeks until half term. This time is FLYING: part of me is terrified, part of me is thrilled. Last week was a really positive week! I taught Maths every day I was … Continue reading 5 weeks down…
How time flies!
It's Monday again, which means it's a recap of my last week time! This week was week 4 and I was back to school after having 2 weeks of block training away from school. To say I was glad to be in school is an understatement. I was pretty nervous though: I'm not really sure … Continue reading How time flies!
