My cousin is one talented lady! Everything was woodland themed- mushrooms made from marshmallows and chocolate, hedgehogs, toadstools, “wild berries” and much much more. She’d make a great infant teacher 🙌🏻

Oh I feel your pain 😩 50 pages in is good going though! I’ve been looking at it so long I’m questioning every spelling and spacing length at this stage. Best of luck with yours 🤗

When the +10% is 16,500…just about 😅

Just spent the last 7 hours “proof reading” my thesis 🫣. I may have to delegate its submission to my husband at this stage.

Speaking aloud to my dog (who is thoroughly enjoying me working from home at the moment), I said: “I’m going to put on my eyebrows and go get an iced mocha”. Lola does not care for my plans, once she can continue to 😴

Excellent- good to know! This is right up my street at the moment 🙌🏻

I want to buy all of the plants and planters and turn my garden into a ✨garden✨

Currently turning old paint cans into planters because my budget will not cooperate with my ideas!

This one is my personal favourite. The pawdacity!

In reality, I should have driven down to you and escorted Christopurr out safely! Little minx! Also 11/10 on the names 🙌🏻😂

I taught in Qatar in my mid twenties also and the respect that the profession has there is huge too. Career progression opportunities, job satisfaction, albeit longer hours, it’s much more attractive.

I’ll do some pre-pruning pruning tomorrow to give it some chance 🫣😂

In other news, tell me you’re in your 30s without telling me: We just purchased a Shark cordless hoover and oh my…the results 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 my bank holiday has never been so exciting 👀😂

The “some” speaks to my soul 😂😂😂

I’m noticing a consistent pattern in the “good days” of my data analysis writing- the productivity miraculously improves with an iced mocha to hand and a purple snack. 🍫

Tasks for June sorted 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I think we’ll have a lot of fun with this!

I remember being upset that my name began with ‘Robber red’, so I used to draw my own character 🫣😂

Our new school building looking fabulous 🤩 the comments section, however, is hugely disappointing! Best of luck to all in LEETNS with the grand opening after the break. A truly great school community! www.facebook.com/share/v/16Pb...

Find someone who looks at you like Lola looks at her iced woofin. Happy 4th birthday to our lovable ball of fluff 🖤

The design of the cup and the match to the name is 10/10 (as a middle child) 😂. Any nice treats? 👀

A wonderful online event, filled with such authenticity and impactful research in the primary school classroom! Well done to all involved 👏🏻

Cafe name: Padam padam (yes like the Kylie song 🎶)
Pastries: N/A (but tbc when they begin to sell them 🥐)
Food options: excellent (Dubai overnight oats, excuse me 🌇)
Coffee: will need to try it a second time to report.

Nothing unites the DCU teacher fellows more than the news of a new cafe opening where Milo’s used to be. Stand by for a full report. @emmajf.bsky.social I hope you’re ready for tomorrows deep dive (ie ordering the entire menu for research purposes)

Great reminders to hone in on the Gaeilge around us and create interest around it with the children ☘️
Claire Dunne 🙌🏻

Using a viewfinder (ie a post-it note with a square cut out) to hone in on the images and support further discussion. So simple, yet so effective!
@emmajf.bsky.social

Soooo excited for this @emmajf.bsky.social 😍
Something that I really don’t know enough about! “Slowing down and reading the images”- 🤩
