On a city break in Amsterdam and have not put The Housemaid down once @Freida_McFadden ! Just finished it now and don’t know what to do with myself! My best read of the year so far! X
Year 2 have spent time in the art room, developing their sewing skills. They have thread their own needle and tied a knot in the yarn. They then created a calm cushion to snuggle. A lovely link to PSHE, feelings and personal development @WovenInKirklees@Textilesinplace
Some star pupils in 1P4 creating their beautiful oil pastel butterflies! Well done Janelle, Annalise, Niamh & Ella! #art#oilpastel#butterfly#itsSLC 🦋🎨
An unexpected hit in my classroom has been my mini galleries that live in the book corner. They're handmade, have a little bit of art history and context & are filled with art - it thrills me to see children get so engrossed in them! Art appreciation is important 💕✨
Year 5 explored cardboard and drawing ink today while looking at old and new buildings in Leeds as part of their architecture unit.

My becoming a doctor journey:
2000 - Leave my family behind in Lebanon at 17 years of age. I arrive in the UK & my first job is working in a kebab van. People ask if I can speak English.
2003 - I secure the grades to get into Manchester medical school despite the constant threat of having to work full time in a supermarket to survive.
2006 - Forced to interrupt med school after developing a severe episode of psychological distress triggered by the trauma of the Lebanon War.
2011 - Finally qualify from medical school & realise my dream of becoming a doctor.
There is no greater privilege & no higher honour than being a doctor.
I've made 5 creative writing cover lessons which might be useful for @Team_English1 for cover/revision/lessons etc. See resource here: https://t.co/SKl5iyUNos
Hopefully saves someone some time!

I've been working on a success criteria/ sentence starter sheet for writing #TeamEnglish. Nick/adapt if useful. Some students seem to need some starting points until they gain confidence.

To me, #WorldBookDay isn’t just about sharing the books we love, but understanding that we have the power to write our own stories in life - so today we did just that! My class are Little People, with Big Dreams💭 (sorry, bit deep for a Thursday night)
We’re always honoured to be asked by @theartcriminal and @accessart to share the work our children create. Not only did we learn a vast amount from the great speakers, we were able to share our Y2 and Y5 photography projects during an online CPDsession. #digitalart@Artsmarkaward
My TA is in school and asked if I needed any jobs doing whilst the class is shut. I asked her if she wanted to display the postcards on a map for me and she has just messaged me with this!!
It looks amazing!
