❗️EXCITING NEWS❗️
I cannot believe that the end of my very first year teaching is coming to and end! However, so so so excited to celebrate becoming a HEAD OF HOUSE next year. So thrilled to have the opportunity to develop the already brilliant House System.

I don’t know which teacher needs to hear this, but calories consumed this week don’t count so do what needs doing.

It's nearly the end of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Why not check in on someone you haven't heard from in a while? A simple "how are you doing?" could make all the difference to someone who's struggling 💙

Felt so good to be back at a Swimming gala this week for the @DXBSchoolsGames! Felt like being back at home 🏊🏽‍♀️ Super proud of the kids as well who represented the school 🏆 Coming away with 2 medals and 5 PB’s isn’t bad either 🥳🙌🏼🤩 #justkeepswimming 🐠

Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of the President of the UAE His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Had some of the best CPD sessions today I have ever had! Two standouts for me were:
1 - Responding to Feedback
2 - Teaching Challenge
These were both such engaging sessions that allowed time for discussion which I think makes a huge difference instead of just being spoken to!

🎾 TENNIS PROGRESS TRACKER 🎾
Myself and another member in my department have created a Tennis Progress tracker to help us and the girls as we move throughout the SOW. We have different versions for Year 7/8/9 🙌🏼
Any feedback on these would be amazing - to add/change anything!

[Miss Stephens @MissStephensPE]

New block = new activity!!
This week I am starting TENNIS with my Year 7/8/9 girls! This will be my first time teaching Tennis so I’m super excited to see how it goes 🙌🏼🎾
If anyone has any tips or tricks they can share - I’d be super grateful ☺️

BACK TO SCHOOL!
And just like that we are back. Feeling very grateful that I managed to get home for the summer to see family and friends 💗
Felt so surreal changing my bio from ‘2nd’ to ‘3rd’ year teaching in Dubai! Somehow the years really do fly by out here! Let’s do this!!

Another reminder of the barriers that still exist that prevent many from taking part in sport. A commitment to inclusivity means understanding these barriers & doing everything possible to remove them - a responsibility all sports must take seriously.

TAs were the unsung heroes of the pandemic?

Let’s be honest, they were the unsung heroes long before any pandemic.

[Miss Stephens @MissStephensPE]

Just got official confirmation that I have passed my NQT!! So so happy and proud of myself! Thank you to my NQT mentors who have supported me throughout it all #proud 🥳🙌🏼⭐️
