For all of my WordWall quizzes I add to them as I teach a chapter, character, context, symbolism etc.

I’m the complete opposite and can’t stop talking when I get home. Maybe it comes down to speak to 11-16 years old day 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

If your partner or spouse is a teacher they probably answer 2,000+ questions every school day.

So try to avoid asking them questions the minute they get home, especially questions like, “So what’s for dinner?”

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@gary_1990_ Yes! It’s gripping

@STU59591172 @PastoralLeaders Thanks, I’ve been doing the above and it worked well. Definitely right about the “slog” part - I didn’t really see the outcomes fully until term 2. Just need to “reset” them once they are back after being away from school routines.

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

What strategies would you use to “reset” behaviour for a KS3 year group? @PastoralLeaders

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

How do you tackle persistent misbehaviour as a year lead (truancy and bullying)? @PastoralLeaders

This is my 93 year old father in law. Until recently was able to maintain independence on his trike. Last week the custom trike was stolen from his garage in #Wellingborough #Northamptonshire Please retweet, we'd like to get it back. Thank you 👍

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

Still got it and it isn’t easing off. Using over the counter medication - any family tried and tested recommendations. I am desperate 🤒

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

Now we both have the flu. He can’t say that I don’t like to share 😂

A city break in Edinburgh and I’ve been bulldozed by the flu. 👍🏼

This is uncanny.

@KVinceyxx Nope, I’m in bed 😴

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

This term has well and truly kicked me in the behind - never known term 1 tiredness like this 🫠

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

I feel like it’s the end of term 1 not the beginning 🥱

[Amy Forrester @amymayforrester]

I’m not saying that this academic year is kicking my ass or anything, but I’m having pop tarts and hula hoops for tea.

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@CharlotteTwinkl @amymayforrester That is true. I write everything down, I’d be lost without my lists! Just got to remember I am finding my way and that’s okay. C

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

New HOY and anxiety is kicking me in the 🍑- open to any advice!

Managed my anxiety well for a number of years but it’s taking a real kicking now. @amymayforrester

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@MissDrPhysics @amymayforrester You’re absolutely right about having people around. Thankfully I do at school, I just need to open up more without seeing it as a “weakness”

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@STU59591172 @amymayforrester I am exactly the same with emails to myself! I think it’s just a case of finding my feet and working out how to manage how different it is to teaching. X

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@Clare_E_Smith @amymayforrester Thank you! X

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@amymayforrester @DL_TeachPE I might need to print off this tweet 👏🏻

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@DL_TeachPE @amymayforrester I think I’m trying to find my feet and I’m quite a stickler for routine which isn’t going to happen being in pastoral. I definitely wasn’t prepared for the interaction with parents that’s for sure.

[MissD📚 @MsDM000]

@Mr_Nayler_PE @amymayforrester Thank you!
