One of the classes at school used AI to turn themselves into cartoon superheroes as part of their work for Anti-Bullying Week, and the did me too!

Had a brilliant time at the #WorldSeries Watch Party in London and am now passing the time waiting for my train home by reading @keeganmatheson.bsky.social’s book in front of Big Ben and thinking he could write another chapter just on that Addison Barger grand slam.

Only one way to start assembly at school today… Let’s go @torontobluejays.bsky.social !

Thank you to CBC in Canada for this lovely little piece about how we are cheering on the @torontobluejays.bsky.social at school and the things we've done over the last few years to promote a love of the Jays and baseball here in the UK.

Great to be invited onto Canadian radio to talk to Matt Green on CBC about introducing the @torontobluejays.bsky.social to the children at our UK primary school and what happens if you come in wearing a Yankees cap!

God bless you sir.

Love it when my birthday’s on a work day…!

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Found out this week that Stefan Dennis is my wife’s cousin’s brother-in-law, so am now proudly claiming that we have a family member on Strictly and am cheering Cousin Stefan, Diane and #TeamAussie on all the way!

Here’s the full postseason prayer:

“ Give us this day our Springer Dingers… “

In assembly, the children celebrated the @torontobluejays.bsky.social winning the AL East ( as they predicted in March ) and offered up this Jays-themed postseason prayer to help them win the World Series.

Genuinely so pleased for you. Hopefully we’ll join you there soon!

As tradition demands, my group get to push me into the river at on our Year 6 residential at Thorpe Woodlands - this year, they even took a run-up!

First Colchester United game for Emma today.

Very grateful to @teachertapp.bsky.social for making my blog one their Daily Reads. If you’re thinking of adding a specialist provision to your mainstream school, or want to know more about specialist units in general, I hope you find it useful.

My parents were just sorting through a few things and found my old 7” single collection, including these absolute classics from one of my childhood ( and adulthood! ) favourites, the wondrous @kylieminogue.music-social.com ! I had a jeans patch with her on too - she’s amazing!

‘Our Differences Are Our Superpowers’ – Having A Specialist Unit In A Mainstream School The SEND crisis in schools is very real and well documented. With a lack of specialist settings, and a lack of places in those settings that do exist, many schools are looking to develop their own …

I know that many schools are considering their own #SEND provisions due to a lack of places elsewhere and so I have written this blog today to share our experience of having a Specialist Unit at our school in case it is of use.

Beautiful gift from our Year 6 leavers of a signed, framed photo of the whole class wearing their @torontobluejays.bsky.social jerseys. Will be up on the office wall very soon!

Just when you think you couldn’t love Troy Hawke any more than you already do…

It’s the Year 6 sleepover at school so I have to pull an all-nighter - currently powering through it with many, many cups of tea and a perfectly timed @torontobluejays.bsky.social game. Last child went to sleep at 3:20 am…!

The @teachertapp.bsky.social effect…! Thank you for making one of my old blogs on feedback for non-shortlisted candidates the Daily Read today.

The face of someone who was thrilled to discover he still knew the words to Together Forever by Rick Astley when it came on in ASDA…

…and the face of someone who was not thrilled to listen to him sing it all the way around the store!

It’s the same when you open the door to one of the boys’ rooms when we take them on their Year 6 residential, particularly combined with the potency of all of the overly-applied deodorant!

Lucy’s chemo starts next week and altogether her treatment will last for over a year so it’s important to catch the sunshine when you can, which we did tonight when her wigs arrived!
