Each day I have unscrewed this boyβs hot pot for him and we joke over his yummy, hot lunch.
βIβve got you your very own hot pot Miss Kay, so when you have your lunch at your new school, you can think of me!β

When βstick it on the next clean pageβ magically turns into βstick it on any page you like, go for the middle or back of your book if you want- Iβll spend 5 minutes searching for it!βπππ
βMummy...β
βIβm not your mummy, Iβm Miss Kay, silly billy...I suppose I must look like your mummy then!β
βNo, my mummy is pretty.β
...okπ
For those teachers who need to hear it:
My new school is heaven. I have never felt so welcomed, trusted and valued even though itβs only my second day of teaching.
There is better out there- donβt let one school stop your happiness, passion and potential.
Put you firstβ₯οΈ
Teaching number bonds to ten today.
βIf I have five flowers, how many more do I need to make ten?β
Class: βFive!β
βFantastic, so that means five add five is..?β
Class: *Answers with every number apart from ten and one child asks when is lunchtime*
A thought...
Maybe me and my friend shouldnβt be spending our Saturdays in Starbucks doing work?
Maybe we should be able to have a weekend like everyone else?
In an ideal world, yes. But not for a teacher.
Work-life balance is just not feasible at the moment:(
Another fantastic activity magpied from TikTok!
I did this with my new Y5 class over the transition days.
Loved seeing the children smile when they saw their skin tone represented on paperβ₯οΈ
I had to make one!
Will be making a display out of them!

This is what our school produced for the Jubilee.
A few children from each class painted something quint-essentially British.
I think it looks lovely ππ¬π§
A guide to KS1:
βNo, poppet. Itβs not lunchtime.
It is only quarter-past 9 in the morning.β
Repeat throughout the morning until lunchtime.
Then swap βlunchtimeβ to βhome-timeβ.
Saw that an Instagram page posted my tweet and the comments are interestingβ¦
People saying I made it up, staged the scene and that Iβve been paid to advertise a productπ
So many odd people in the worldβ¦it was simply a pure, meaningful gesture that I wanted to shareπ₯°
