First week completed at my new school. I have to say that it has been an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to Monday for the first time in ages. #TeacherTwitter

So Andrea Jenkyns has said she’s at the end of her tether which is why she flicked the finger. I’m pretty sure every single person in education have been at the end of their tether at some point or another in the last couple of years but… 🤷‍♀️

I think it was Keating who said "Life is roller-coaster, you just have to ride it." Truer words never spoken with regard to this cohort.

Our Year 6's have done amazingly with the SATs this year - absolutely smashing national across the board! #Year6

[Dan Holmes @MrHolmesPrimary]

Aaaaaand breathe!

Finally home after a school trip to the cinema and Greenwich Park. Glad to say that the kids didn't show me up in my endz 🤣 They were a credit to themselves and the school. Shame that they're leaving so soon! #Year6 #Primary

How are there only 30 school days left? Time is going so fast. I need to get my skates on with this production now. #Year6 #Primary

@MrDohertyY1 Scrap marking & do whole class feedback instead. Make reports to parents short (see @MichaelT1979), do pupil book study rather than book scrutiny/data drops. No photocopying LOs or sticking paper on paper. Stop ‘evidencing’ stuff.

@PrimaryRocks1 Year 5 make soups based upon seasonal vegetables whilst Year 6 should be making a rice based savory dish, however, we made enchiladas this year 😋

One thing I love about teaching primary is you can be the worst artist, but whenever you draw the kids will act like you’re Michelangelo unveiling the Sistine Chapel.

@LondainGAA @Carlow_GAA Amazing work from @moyla18 and the boys! #LondainAbu

Phonics INSET today. Lots of good things so far. Has been very helpful to see where I can fill in gaps for my #Year6 class

Feel like the half-term has flown by, especially after having to isolate with Covid. I feel like I've got nothing done 😢

[Dan Holmes @MrHolmesPrimary]

5:30 alarm set for the morning - have not missed those 😂

[Dan Holmes @MrHolmesPrimary]

@FakeHeadteacher We don't call them learning walks anymore - they have to be 'deep dives' 😞

[Dan Holmes @MrHolmesPrimary]

Parents evening 😶
Two out of ten turn up so far. Great fun...

[Dan Holmes @MrHolmesPrimary]

Amazing bit of trolling from the BBC this morning 🤣
