NQT September 2020 Year 2 BA (Hons) Theatre at @chiuni ☀️ PGCE at @uh_education ✨

[Miss Murphy @MissMurphyY2]

NQT Daily positive 1: The two classes have been mixed from last year, and they don’t all know each other - but during our extra play they all played together so beautifully.

Come on @educationgovuk cancel this ridiculous phonics check for Year 2.

We have so much extra on our plate, finding the time to administer this, manage the wellbeing of staff and children and children missing school due to isolation

It is pointless doing it now.

NQT Daily Positive 10: I deescalated a tricky child quite a few times, and by the end of the day they were making really safe choices.

NQT Daily Positive 8: (This has been a hard one) My TA is amazing and so supportive and really reassuring with me.

#NQT tip:

It’s not just marking that’s a balancing act:

You also have to balance drinking enough water to stay hydrated with not having time to wee.

3 positive cases for staff members in my school. No phone call back from PHE. No ‘rapid risk assessment’. No tests available! Terrible! No capacity! Stop the PR sound bites and sort it out please! @MattHancock @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson #edutwitter #Covid_19 not a happy HT!

NQT daily positive 6: I felt a lot less overwhelmed today than last week.

[Miss Murphy @MissMurphyY2]

Or am I being overly paranoid?

[Miss Murphy @MissMurphyY2]

Anyone else checking their temperature every morning just to keep an eye on things?

People will say we whine and whinge but you really have to experience teaching a full week in these circumstances to know the meaning of total and utter, hollowed-out exhaustion.

How can schools be to blame? Wta?
