Some rather lovely flowers and chocolates from my wonderful colleagues @stphilipsplains. A lovely surprise! Many thanks.

With the dreich weather we’re having this morning I just wanted to share this photo from last week - sun shining in on my awesome pencil pot. Enjoy! ☀️

Pizza party @stphilipsplains. Feel Good Friday in effect 🤘🏻

My LGBT+ library doubled in size today thanks to a very lucky (and generous) colleague winning a pride month competition from @HarperCollinsUK. Still got to read my way through them, but that’s the best part!

A fabulous fun day to end the term @stphilipsplains - Alpacas and assorted animals, inflatables, giant board games, Go-Karting and fresh handmade pizza. The weather was against us, but we made it work 😎

Down at Airdrie FC’s stadium supporting the staff and young people of @stphilipsplains during their end of term game. Go on yersel St Pips.

Today @stphilipsplains we had our first #pride tasty Tuesday. Good food, great company and temporary tattoos….what a party! Many thanks to all the staff and young people who made it along. 🌈

2023 sure is flying in! February already, and the start of #LGBTHistoryMonth. Hoping to use this opportunity to reflect, educate and promote inclusion @stphilipsplains #LGBTplusHM

Reindeer, hot chocolate, home made donuts and Christmas cupcakes (to name just a few). It was all going down today @stphilipsplains Christmas Fayre.

Later reviews were less complementary 😂

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

For the @stphilipsplains Christmas Fayre I reproduced the sweet spaghetti from elf. Very few people have been brave enough to try it, but reviews have included “not as bad as I thought it would be” and “it’s ok”. From teenagers that seems like a big deal.

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

Happy #elfday everyone! @stphilipsplains let’s get elf-y 😎

Another reason to love @Saaltco. This hefty demo pack arrived on my desk this morning, and is already causing a stir! Period care can be daunting, so it’s great to let everyone see all the options (or more of them at least). Thank you!

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

It’s cake time!! @stphilipsplains @macmillancancer @MacmillanScot

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

Fun morning spent experimenting with paper plane designs, and the impact the different folds have on flight distance, time and accuracy. Some real beauties in the mix @stphilipsplains

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

Preparations for tomorrows Easter Fayre @stphilipsplains are coming along nicely. Lunchtime bunny making session 🤘🏻

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

Forgot to post the pictures of Filib enjoying some Raspberry pi at the teddy bears picnic @stphilipsplains 🤘🏻. @pimoroni is now his favourite shop and the young people have thoroughly enjoyed their MicroBit kits as well. ❤️

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

Many thanks to the dedicated young person who completed an online safety quiz to get the instructions to build this awesome internet legend, he has befriended the Lego T-rex @stphilipsplains and needs a name, so suggestions welcome. @Google how do we get some more please?!

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

@diane_leiper @stphilipsplains Once a Mathatron always a Mathatron. And thanks for prepping the room me 😂 would still be full of English resources if it wasn’t for you.

[Mandy Niccolls @mathswithmandy]

This is the chaos that happens when you introduce micro:bits to an unsuspecting maths classroom @stphilipsplains
