What incredible last week of term. My heart is so full and Iโm so grateful for my side kick @KateHulbert & our amazing Grove team. We laugh together everyday (and cry, but not quite everyday๐) but ultimately do a blooming good job at changing our young peoples lives โค๏ธ
We had the absolute best time on our first residential trip! We learnt how to put up tents, skim stones, toast marshmallows and so much more. The best memories have been made in the last 24 hours, we love doing life with our young people! Shout out to them for being such legends!
My favourite quote of the day: Miss Comley, you can be the godmother of my children, and if I never have children you can be the godmother of my dog! ๐๐ Iโll take it!
Guys, one of my year 8โs has been struggling with this maths topic from the lesson we started it. We havenโt given up and tried and tried again and today, he got it!!! He was buzzing, I was buzzing, everyone was buzzing. Couldโve cried ๐๐คฉ๐คฉ Day blooming made I tell you!
Last night my team won a comp against 22 other Worlds teams - the high was unreal and it was just what I needed. Sat here with a โ๏ธ this morning reflecting on what I think was the hardest week of my career last week, but no matter how hard it is I love it and Iโm ready for Monday
Anyone that teaches Emotional Literacy to young people, especially those with SEMH, get this game!! The best resilience building game Iโve found in a long time AND had some of our most โlivelyโ sat down and concentrated for an amazing length of time! Itโs called Genius Square.
WHAT A DAY! The whole Grove went out on a treasure hunt around the city (some were slightly more camera shy than others, but we were all there!)
Weโre really proud of our young people, what a team we are! Amazing memories were made today ๐
Weโre working so hard on transition at the minute, check out this feedback from a mainschool teacher about one of our Year 8โs - โHeโs a legend! He was really focused and hardworking, he re-attempted a question by himself after deciding he can do better, I am loving teaching himโ
Back at it with our Emotional Literacy challenges in The Grove this morning! Todayโs challenge was to create a balloon animal.. we think they absolutely smashed it! This was not easy either!!!
Full time teacher, part time half marathon runner! Loved todays achievement! Practicing what I preach to the kids by doing things that challenge us!
@mrsbea_finn I saw you smashing it today too!! ๐ฅณ
