My SLT training never covered catching a dog on the school field... #NeverADullDay

Really enjoyed my first full week as an AP at my new school. Highlights are a new member of staff feeding back how much he values our visible leadership and being able to make positive feedback home about some fantastic fresh starts.

Another inspiring talk. I have used "when I say go and not before" and "3,2,1....go" since I last heard Pritesh talk, and what a simple but effective thing it has been!

A very simple way of teaching multiplying and dividing negatives. "Every negative needs a friend"

Looking forward to researchED next Saturday! Who else is going to be there?

I once failed #1 by losing weight over the summer. Those were the days! 🤣

I once overheard a student saying "the Italians do not have a language". When I asked what they meant, they said, "they say normal words like pizza and pasta, but with an accent" 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hi Paul, I will drop you a DM.

The keys got handed in eventually! Great work finding your keys in the water.

Just sharing a thread i shared a few days ago now that there are a lot more people here at #edusky. It's a sequence of form time lessons to teach pupils about cognitive science

I once lost a set of minibus keys while on a trip (group of kids very unimpressed). Since then I've had an irrational fear of handling keys! 😂
