My top tip for ECTs? Spend less time making your room look nice & sparkly & more time planning & resourcing the first half term. When the intensity of the first few wks of September hits, itโs far more useful to have resources ready on the shelf than laminated display titles ๐

Using linking cubes on maths training today. Apparently this will all stop once Iโm no longer ECT2 ๐
I thought CPD would be ongoing including amazing opportunities like this.
What is your experience?
Iโm so excited for tomorrow ๐ one of my kidโs parents is making onion bhajis and checked my dietary requirements so she could bring me some! ๐ ๐
Yum ๐
This school year so far Iโve worked less hours, achieved more than ever, made mistakes and learned from them and am feeling confident about my work life balance.
The world hasnโt ended because my wall displays arenโt complete yet. ๐ฅ
Just saying. Happy weekend โญ๏ธ
This year I had my LTP, MTP and all the necessary notes to start planning ahead.
Have I looked at this yet?
No.
Future me will either be proud I had a great holiday or hate me. Lol
@Katy_primary97 The disadvantage of a September baby is additional childcare and nursery costs, as they will have an extra year before starting school!
@MrsHewsonMFL I love how the child heard me read the T shirt in French then almost sounded it out to spell it themselves beian. It shows they understand the pronunciation even if the spelling is wrong โบ๏ธ
My watch just told me I should go for a brisk 26 minute walk to close my exercise ring for the day.
Clearly it hasnโt factored in that today was the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL and my feet ACHE ๐ ๐
My amazing TA bought me this book and had the class sign it. (Our class was named one of the animals from the book!)
Hands down THE most thoughtful end of year gift that I will treasure.
What other job than teaching do you go in on the day before your holiday and give gifts to everyone you work with to say thank you for working with you for the past year?!
ECT1 ticked off and documented โ๏ธ ECT2 conference today setting the scene for the year ahead ๐
Great to see some cohort friends too, only wish we had more time to network while there. ๐
Youโll be glad to know that unlike last time there was a gluten free food option ๐
