@thosethatcan They just know when things are different! Don’t know if you remember but you were my tutor approx 25 years ago so assuming I don’t know the young man in question!

[Kate Wells @katej87]

@thosethatcan Similarly, a Y6 child that same term, after finding out what was going on and me not being in work, seeing me and sprinting towards the school gate to ask me how he was. X

[Kate Wells @katej87]

@thosethatcan How much children care for you… After some rubbish news re: husbands health - an ASD child, who I had known as non verbal 4 years prior, making me a wall hanging saying ‘cheer up Mrs Wells - we love you’. She didn’t know but just knew something was up. X

[Kate Wells @katej87]

@lifeatthenest A question we enjoy that we get more out of candidates than the norm ‘if we didn’t appoint you for this role, what would we be missing out on?!’

Weekend well being - 1000m Sunday evening swim at Portishead outdoor swimming pool followed by a short sit down looking out to sea. 🥰 #swimming #wellbeing #windymiller

This website is really useful for explaining the context of schools, shows deprivation index at an almost street level. Really insightful stuff.

If any Y6 teachers (or anyone else tbf!) wants these sending over tomorrow morning, let me know!

I’ll also pop them in a Dropbox tomorrow evening along with the resources so they’re there to access over the weekend 😊✨

[Kate Wells @katej87]

Finally home.

@TracyJo53001140 I bought on kindle after my old HT from HM recommended. It was only available then on kindle but has now been printed so just ordered. One of those books that I think I want to physically own! Definitely to catch up and review! X

[Kate Wells @katej87]

I couldn’t put this down when I first read it at the end of last year. Important to read if you work in education in the area. Worthy recognition. A reminder to reread. #bristol #reader #education https://t.co/Les7Pe4cGA

First week back of term and have met my swimming target of 4x a week and 5km in total! Bag packed for tomorrows 6:30am swim again! Feels good! #headteacher #Wellbeing #leadership #swimming 🐬

[David@Nautilus @DavidNautilus1]

Boy walks into reception late for school.

Receptionist says ‘late again!’

Enters building. Passing member of staff says ‘are you late again?’

On his way to class, someone else asks him for a minute. ‘Are you ok?’ They say.

Boy confides that he has no bed. 4 children in a 2 bedroom house. Mum has late nights and he gets himself ready.

Good to consider how we may greet some children in a morning.

[Kate Wells @katej87]

@TeacherBusy I’ve just found these. Similar things at Asda too. Add a bit of cooked chicken last week too and/or salad. Also - only 1 min in the microwave so no horrendous microwave queue guilt!

[Kate Wells @katej87]

After swimming over 41km this summer holidays, I’m preparing for starting a new routine tomorrow of swimming at 6:30am every Monday (along with other swims at less unearthly hours)!😳Wish me luck! 🐬 #wellbeing #workhardbekind

[Kate Wells @katej87]

Happy 2 years to us! 🥳🥰#weddinganniversary
