On Saturday my FinL died. Although not unexpected, it has still been hard. Today with year 7 we started reading The House with Chicken Legs. I read with tears running down my face and the empathy of my tutees was amazing. This is why I love my job #teacher #yr7tutor 🥰

@MissIsobeleh We set Google Forms once a fortnight which recap knowledge from the topics covered plus prior learning. They get the mark straight away but it also gives us a diagnostic tool.

I’m 36 years old, married with a child, and away for work for the night. I have just messaged my mum to tell I got on the train safely…I will also message her when I make my transfer, when I’m in Birmingham and when I check in to the hotel. #alwaysachild #mum #whenigrowup 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

@HallieRubenhold As are all the best things.

@HallieRubenhold We had this discussion over lunch today when setting up a lesson looking at Weimar Culture using Marlene Dietrich! We thought we were the strange ones, maybe it’s a history thing?

My mum has just handed me this after discussions about @lamb_heart_tea’s session at #HAconf23 - she was handed this in 1990 when she started at uni. #LGBTQhistory #herstory #knowyourrights #historyteacher

@lamb_heart_tea thanks gif sharing! These last 100 miles are becoming a slog! AND more importantly, it’s matches my shoes!

Fight for Rights playlist!

Banger after banger for your @histassoc drive playlist! https://t.co/wfZb7YwEID

Also, just finished prepping the zine materials for my talk on women’s rights ft @FernRiddell book as a stick in pic 🤘

So I’ve driven passed Bosworth, Sherwood Forest and Hardwick Hall and yet I’m somehow STILL not in the north - geography is weird once you get passed Bristol 😂 #southerner #wheresthenorth #historyteacherontour

[Sinead @farmernade]

@ddonaldson_hist Looking forward to this!

[Sinead @farmernade]

@tommole Good to know I’ve booked the right place 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 always have that moment of doubt in things like this

[Sinead @farmernade]

Started the long drive up to #HAconf23. One of the perks of driving an EV is that it forces me to stop…one of the downsides is that in these stops I have coursework to moderate 😂 #historyteacher #teacherontour

Sometimes the South West can seem miles from the rest of the UK and sometimes that’s the perfect feel needed. #markingbreak #jennycliff #lovewhereilive #icecream #happyplace #historyteacher

[Sinead @farmernade]

I’ll be driving up to the #HACONF23 from Torquay if anyone needs a lift with the train strikes. Teacher unite! #historyteacher #historyroadtrip #teacher

[Sinead @farmernade]

@lamb_heart_tea I will be coming solo - most South West teachers spontaneously combust once they leave Devon 😂
