My non-teacher brother just sent me this and it properly made me laugh 😂

Rick Astley at Glastonbury reminds me of the deputy that’s been at a school for decades & who just quietly & modestly gets on with everything but when something happens they step up & knock it out of the park & everyone goes, ‘wow’ then the deputy just goes quietly back to work💖

My parents had to cut down some of the trees from our family home. A friend of the family has made them into beautiful bowls. Mum just asked me to choose one. A beautiful bowl made from the tree I used to play in as a little girl. This is just the loveliest thing. 💖💖💖

My middle one (y2) has been taught remotely by her teacher for 2 weeks. Teacher is back in today. Middle one just wrote this and I think it’s the finest phonetically plausible but incorrect spelling I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂 #PandemicPhonics 😂😂😂

A Year 4 blew my mind today. Y4: I love maths Me: Tell me your best Maths fact. Y4: I can tell you one you won’t know. Me: ok what’s that? Y4: all odd numbers have the letter ‘e’ in them. Me, tells @HalilMrT1 & we both stand there counting on our fingers & spelling. #MindBlown

Had a fascinating conversation with a nursery teacher of almost 30 yrs. She was saying one of the biggest changes she’s seen in recent years is the number of children who say ‘no’ and simply refuse to follow any adult instruction. She said it used to be super rare but not now.

So when a car fails its MOT on some fixable aspects you can get a partial retest within ten days, during which time you can fix any issues. The car is not written off or ‘failed’ for the next few years. You get a window of time to fix it. Seems sensible doesn’t it…

My eldest, who’s in year 6, just ran a 5km adult parkrun in 20:19 I’m stuffed if she ever decides to run away!

🧵 Imagine you went out for a meal. You’re happily enjoying your starter when the waiter whips it away from you & plonks down your main course. You’re a few bites in & then the same happens with your dessert, then your coffee. Then the waiter quickly clears the table & closes up

Lockdown with three small children is pretty much spending 80% of your day flushing toilets you haven’t used yourself. 😬🙀

Most nursery or wraparound care settings don’t open until 7.30am That means no formal childcare until 7.30am Then there’s the commute to the workplace after drop off. Early morning work starts/meetings are hugely challenging for anyone with pre school or primary age children.
