Could I have a complete rebuild of my campervan rear wheel suspension please. And some new tyres if you see any. Thanks

That’s a puffball. Give them a squeeze and they spore into the air

Here are four from our outdoor classroom

Yes! It’s taken four consecutive night of carving to give everybody a go.

A pumpkin for every child. My work here is done. 🎃

Yes - I use the roller coaster - basically the same visualisation

Chemistry dating advice is the only advice they will need

Today I went out of my way to explain why certain bonds form in terms of electronegativity, stability and energy - but the students only got it when I resorted to “the hydrogen really wants to bond with the chlorine” and then everyone got it. How do you avoid giving atoms feelings? #iteachchem

Isn’t that just the way of it though?

Weekend to-do list: 15 items. Completed: just 3.
Planned a Year 13 chemistry lesson on aldehydes, a GCSE astronomy lesson on Earth’s interior, and rescued my canoe from my old school. That is it. 😬

Does anybody have a photo of chemist Gladys Elsmie - who worked with Brady to develop Brady’s reagent? She has the same name as Elvis Presley’s mother and that’s is all google will give me.

Today’s job. Enroll most of September’s year 9 onto the Bronze @dofe.org award.

Thankfully this year, I am a bit ahead of myself as I asked them who wanted to join in year 8 - and can now process the list.

Definitely going to have to make one next year!

School garden growing well. But the birds have got to the sweetcorn. 😡

It does seem like nobody is there on twitter now - not even the people who enjoy telling me I am wrong. The early joy of this place was those people didn’t seem to get the memo.

I don’t think I have kept up to date with the community on here. How is it going? Is conversation thriving here?

Quick question. I am on the second day of a DSL course today. Are you only a DSL when in post as THE DSL or is everyone DSL trained a DSL? Like, imagine you are a pilot, but not flying this plane as THE pilot. Is THE pilot the only pilot and all other pilots not actually pilots? How does it work? ✈️

Next year a new challenge - I will be a housemaster of a Y9 and Y10 boarding house.

But don’t worry, chemistry and physics teaching support will continue!

Atomic kitten. I will not apologise for this.

Very interesting. Thank you.

Almost, but it was the mass of the KHCO3 that shouldn’t have been in an enthalpy of reaction calculation

Prizes for anybody that can spot the mistake in my work on the board behind me.

My departing Y13s bought me flowers. I have never been bought flowers in my life. 🥲

The only thing that would make that more terrifying is if it made noises like a turkey.

Just cool before it was cool to be cool. Also, fun fact, he lived on Earth when Earth was here in space. Since their time the Sun had made a single two hundred million year trip around the Milky Way.

Woah. Plateosaurus was a legend. You take that back.

Idk but Therizinosaurus looks a bit silly
