Haven’t posted in quite a while and quite a bit has changed!
But it’s that time of year again, PE Passport conference time! Always a great day! Thanks Jess @lancslpds

There was something oddly calming about flying over the ocean as we landed in Nice last night. Very grateful for that feeling and trying my best to hold it for the coming week 😌🤍

Yesterday evening at our Leavers’ Assembly, every child got a pencil case filled with equipment they will need for high school, their Leavers’ book and a compass to remind them that they know how to find the right way!
Today they’ll do a colour run to finish their time with us.

First week of something new under my belt. Went far better than I had even imagined! Need to stay focused and try not to divert off the track with background noise 🧘🏻‍♀️

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

A very unexpected and emotional 24 hours made better with iced coffee and gingerbread. Taking today to reset, ready to face next week head on ❤️

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

And that’s half term! A week of rest and enjoying time to myself before smashing the last 7 weeks! Lots of exciting things coming up!

As I set off home from work I noticed my wing mirror had been pushed in with a note on it, instantly thought it had been damaged.

Turns out it was my GD who spotted my car and left me a note.

A much needed boost after a rough few days 🥹🥰❤️

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

Getting positive yet constructive feedback from an observation is something I’m still getting use to (I didn’t get this at my last job!) but taking the positive and moving forward is definitely a great feeling 🫶🥰

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

Had a lovely chat this morning with the wonderful @beyondbehaviour, as always, a thought provoking, collaborative conversation that always leaves me feeling empowered and seen! Thank you so much Steve!

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

Started our final day by making breakfast for my amazing team (it’s the absolute least they deserved!) and finished it off with our colour run with the Y6 leavers. So lucky to have worked with some of the best people in the world! Bring on next year! ❤️🧡💙💚🌈

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

@MetcalfeMaths @lancslpds @LancsPE Ah no way! I miss you too! Please we sort out a coffee and catch up?!

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

Ready to get going at the Lancs PE Passport conference @lancslpds @LancsPE

[Zoe Makin @makin_miss]

Had a great day at @NRocks2023 today! Really enjoyed the workshops and it was lovely to see @HYWEL_ROBERTS as well as listening to @BarrowfordHead talk about our school and sharing our ethos ❤️💛💚💙🌈

We had #Ofsted in this week undertaking deep dives in English, Maths, History, Geography and PE.

I have outlined the deep dive questions asked to our Subject Leaders in their interviews, as well as some of my thoughts on potential answers in the link:
