One lunch duty for a whole week of food?!?! Wow that's awesome!

Yes to both! I don't remember much of Marazion as I was a kid but they're both such amazing places

I love Lindisfarne so much!

I would end up smashing my head against a wall! Lunch duty = free lunch = no drudgery of making lunch night before = win.

Me at various points in the year feeling cheesy: I've already got my GCSEs, I don't need to worry, you need to work hard!

Me now: *nervous about results day*

Bro needed a word count his whole life.

Weald & Downland Living Museum was so fantastic on Saturday! Literally a time machine. If you're ever in the south it's worth a visit and if you need me I'll be creating a Houses Through Time project for Year 7 ✌️

More accurately as opposed to?

Thats fair! Mine is basically a massive TV so the touchscreen is amazing and overlays on ppt brilliantly. If I Awant something super detailed or want to do basic sentence practice - visualiser. The GOAT.

I find this a really interesting difference between secondary teachers. and all others. I took interactive to include my big TV/board thingy which has elite drawing capabilities. Why do peeps still like projectors??

Steve Smith feels a disturbance in the force. Labushagne starts crying. Cameron Bancroft immediately calls his therapist. Travis Head starts sweating. Stevo looks at his wife, she winks. Linkin Park 'What I've Done' starts playing. The plane ticket to Sydney pings in his inbox.

I can see it now. New Years Day 2026. It's 2-2. English bowlers have been dropping lile flies. Anderson was brought in as an Xmas present to bring the series level at 2-2 but tore his hamstring. Stevo gets a call just after midnight celebrating with the family. It's Ben. "Ashes?"

Aussie bowlers still live in fear.

At the end of term my daughter, T, excitedly told us about Mary Kingsley. T seems most interested in "girls" being in History. So, after seeing @kat-oc-kearey.bsky.social post yesterday, we got going on some proper good stories!

Love the idea that kids in the 70s would be like, "didnt like him so chopped off his head? Fair."

Will actually use this with y10! Thank you for sharing!

Very enjoyable but parts felt a bit flat. However, from a historical anti-colonialism POV, very powerful (if a bit slightly rough around the edges) but the level of historical knowledge needed is a big reminder of the need for context to access novels lole this. Anyone else read it?

Working life didn't change loads but expectations changed massively. My SLT often say things along lines of we expect good things from you and I feel this holds me to higher standards and is frustrating. There's also a lot of stuff I do that don't make anything better...

Taking the plunge for 2025/26 with GCSE booklets. 3/4 booklets made since January - and I wonder why I'm exhausted at work...

Just Restoration England to go.

Roll on summer

Always got a soft spot for the kids who want to check the Test Cricket scores...

Phenomenal work! 👏👏👏

Hi Freddie, great to hear from you! I hope you're doing well and college treated you well. That is seriously cool! I'm currently reading it to the new E1s

Had our brilliant Leavers' Assembly today. One of the most melancholic days of the year. Seeing them all walk off is quite something, though this year's lot didn't really want to leave. I think that says a lot. #year11leavers

2/4 GCSE History topics now transformed into booklets. Lots of work but the first one went so well. Lots of reading, structured tasks, and embedded exam question practice. And after feedback from very intelligent y11s, they wanted more "space" for their own structure so I've added more blank spaces.

Paper 1 and 2 for AQA History were...good...

RIP 2026 expecting something nice 😂

Whoever said never meet your heroes clearly didn't like History.

📌 because I can just copy this link to numerous people with poor ideas.

For the most part, work is just work and it's just a thing. So, whilst they're kids, I'll just keep telling them gross stories about how they tried to prevent the plague or something and what sort of truth we can make from that as people...

Don't let boring people dictate curriculum! 😂

How do you unlock this perk?
