Couldn't be happier to not be in a classroom this week.

Wellbeing in teaching is the ability to accept the fact you will never complete the work. Once you learn to live with that uneasy feeling of there always being something you could be doing and allow yourself to switch off it becomes a lot easier.

Planning to win over my year 7 form by showing them a picture of my dog... That will work right?.... Please work....

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

@AmberSm10 Haha that is very true! I gave up on mine after about a week this year but I want to be committed to one next year. Just hoping I can be a bit more organised

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

Teacher planners. Where can I find a good one? #edutwitter

@QuigleyBecki @DCol_DT @DCol_Digital Love that!!

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

Wow thanks for the responses guys! A lot of love for @TPositiveTC. I'll take a look.

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

@MissPritchPE Awesome, thanks. I'll take a look at those 😊

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

@MissPritchPE I am a bit keen! I just don't know what a good one is really... the one we had this year didn't have the dates already filled in so I gave up with it.

@farthingstorey It was warm! Even at 8am...

Amazing 10k in the Welsh hills this morning! Sheep make pretty good pacers to be fair... #ukrunchat

A bizarre but fun way to compare latitude between the northern and southern hemisphere. Might take you a second to see what's going on here. Source: https://t.co/VyKFgfrlDF

Finally my turn.... I . GOT . A . JOB !!

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

I was called 'boss' instead of 'sir' by a student today. Not sure which I prefer

Geography trivia: If you flew in a straight line from McAllen, Texas to Bangkok, Thailand, you would only spend about 50 miles over water. Source: https://t.co/jnjZMVSXF6

This week's challenge: my dog has developed a cough and apparently needs to self isolate... #neverending

[MrSlater 🌏 @MrSlater9]

Nutella straight out of the jar is an acceptable post run snack, right? #ukrunchat #TeachersWhoRun

Love this from the introduction to The Power of Geography.

For anyone who struggles to understand why the subject of geography is critically important in schools 👇
