Morning everyone! How are we all today? As you know I am a MASSIVE advocate for reading within school (and in my life outside of school, lets be real) and finding more books to read in school, which can be used in the classroom, is always a brilliant way to get books into classrooms. As … Continue reading Twinkl originals
Yes, We're getting to that time of year again.. SATs time. Now, they don't HAVE to be stressful. I know schools all deal with them differently. There is no right way for the collective, there's only a right way for your school, for your kids. For us, we bring the kids in early, ensure they … Continue reading Y6 SATS Survival
So I’m going back to my “host school” today and I can’t wait. I've had a week of training following half term and I am itching to get back into the classroom! I say host school, that’s what the people of the SCITT call it. For me, I call it “home”. It’s my school. It’s … Continue reading Let me go home…
What a year 2017 has been, ay kids? We've been through a lot here. As a student: I've gone from writing my dissertation, to graduating, to starting my SCITT, to finishing my first term as a trainee teacher ALL in the space of one year. That's pretty bonkers. As a blogger: I went from a … Continue reading 2017: what a year!
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…

I'm feeling slightly better now (thanks NHS!) so hopefully this coming week will be better! I've been doing a bit … Continue reading Week 11…
Last week was pretty mad at school! It was Maths week! Every subject is having a curriculum week and Maths was the first subject up! There was a whole load of activities going on, some I got to join in with, some I sadly missed out on! Monday was formal observation day. The head and … Continue reading Maths week: Week 10
So last week was madness. Week 1 of any half term is always the most exhausting. Half term is a lovely time in a teacher's life when they can kind of breathe a little bit - don't get me wrong theres still 1000004 things to be done, but there's a little bit of breathing room. … Continue reading Week 9?!
Well hello there! We have reached half term holidays, how did that happen? Here we are then. I'm 1/6 of the way done with my SCITT. I am 1/6 closer to my dream. That is BONKERS. I've got a blog post coming in a few weeks about why I want to be a teacher and … Continue reading First half term down!
Well, week 6 is done and there's 1 more to go until half term... WHERE DID THOSE WEEKS GO? How crazy is that? To think that 6 weeks ago I was starting my journey to becoming a teacher and now I'm 6 weeks in... it has FLOWN. So how did my week go? It was … Continue reading 6 weeks down, 1 to go!
