Me in a paper constructed Easter bonnet decorated with tissue paper flowers. In front of the class screen with a visual with Happy Easter on it.
How to get through the 2nd last day of term- making easter bonnets in groups to work on our school value of creativity! ๐ With an Easter parade before sometime complete with appropriate Easter parade music ๐ถ #ScoEdu #EduSky
And yes you heard that right, we're in tomorrow ๐ฎโ๐จ one more day to go!

Discussing with my class what amber is and how it's formed this week (linking to Vikings topic and trade). Of course we ended up at Jurassic Park because that's the clearest example most of them have of amber at age 8-9 ๐ any excuse to play the theme really #EduSky #ScoEdu

Small wooden side table with a bamboo board on it, a glass of Riesling to the right and a side plate with a white cloth napkin, knife and fork on it. On the board are some Peters yard sourdough crispbreads with the traditional hole in the middle. In the middle of the board on a bed of rocket is half a log of Capricho de Cabra, a soft Spanish goats cheese. This one is rolled in cracked pepper. Around it there's Serrano ham, a quartered peach, red and green grapes, a fresh fig, a small dish of honey with drizzler and a small dish of green olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
One cheese tonight, leaning into the Mediterranean feel in the hopes the weather follows ๐ a busy week ahead of parents evenings! #Cheese #SelfCare #EduSky #ScoEdu

@gemmaclark.bsky.social has created template letters for MPs, MSPs and councillors to help us raise concern over book banning and censorship in UK school libraries.
This has come into focus with the @indexoncensorship.org article in the last few days. #EduSky #ScoEdu #BookSky #KidLit #UKKidLit

#ScoEdu flagging this up, not so much of an issue in #Orkney but I know the areas where it's more relevant. #ArmedForces #EduSky

A small group of snowdrops planted in woodland with Raindrops clinging to the petals.
30 years and I can still remember my mum explaining it to us and looking at my little brother who was in P1. We will always remember the children of P1 1996 from Dunblane and Gwen Major their teacher.
Thankfully the Snowdrop campaign led to tougher gun laws and we've not faced more tragedies #ScoEdu

4 section collage of 4 handmade birthday cards from pupils. Top is a labelled drawing of my face wearing a red party hat with yellow stars. In the middle are two, the left shows a stack of cards, 2 with elephants on the front (my fave animal) the right shoes a card with a well drawn Paddington almost doing a Mary Poppins umbrella fly in with books drawn all around him. The card reads Happy Bookday!! This was made by two P6 pupils (not my class this year) The bottom shows the inside of a card that one of my P4 pupils made at home that has a pop up rainbow with a sign that reads Happy Birthday as well as a drawing of me marking, an open book, pink hearts and yellow stars.
One of the perks of a school day birthday is handmade cards by pupils. The Paddington one was made by 2 pupils I taught last year. Others by my class this year, elephants are my fave animals and I'm prone to a rainbow. They know me ๐๐

I've spent most of my afternoon doing professional reading and pulling together evidence for a course I've been doing.Yeah I'm off work today but to have the time and space to just sit, focus and properly reflect without having to jam it into a small space in my week, bliss! #EduSky #ScoEdu

A piece of paper with Viking runes (futhark) that translate to "I love books so much" against a blue school table background.
Bonus points to the pupil who knows how to impress their book mad teacher while also showing they've been paying attention to our topic of Vikings ๐ It reads (using the futhark alphabet on a worksheet) "I love books so much". This pupil is also telling the truth, they do love books ๐ #ScoEdu #EduSky

I've been brave & properly adulty today. I've said this is the year I look to buy a house & I went to view my first property this evening ๐ฑ That would probably be enough for me but it's what I'm looking for so now I need to do things like contact a solicitor *breathes into a paper bag* #ScoEdu

Yellow background with the World book day logo in the top left corner. It's a bright purple book cover with eyes and the words "World Book Day" stacked beside it to the right. Underneath that is a blue and red banner with yellow text which reads "visiting Orkney", and the author photo for L.D. Lapinski below that. To the left from top to bottom are the covers of all LDs books and then a text box which reads "We are delighted to announce that L.D. Lapinski, bestselling author for children and young people will be visiting four Orkney schools to celebrate World Book Day (week) with us!"
I've not posted this personally till now but with 5 weeks to go I'm VERY excited to be welcoming @ldlapinski.bsky.social to #Orkney for #WorldBookDay to visit my school as well as a few others that week ๐คฉ What an opportunity for our pupils!

Small wooden side table with a bamboo tray on it. There's a glass of Chardonnay behind it and a side plate with a white cloth napkin, knife and fork, sat in front of it. On the tray there is a small brown dish with a small brie with black truffle that's been baked with diced pear, walnuts and honey. Around the dish are small dishes with green olives, honey, also sliced pear, sliced baguette, prosciutto and fennel salami.
Cosy and comforting tonight for the cheeseboard and the last of the 'festive' cheese, all good things come to an end! #Cheese #SelfCare #EduSky #ScoEdu
