Ah, the unconditional love of year 1. I'm the best teacher ever, I'm the prettiest teacher ever etc etc... so wholesome. So sweet 🥰 only my second day with this bunch and already having a great time.

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Had some interesting supply recently. Alongside still working Mon-Wed in a y3 class on long term supply, the past few weeks have also seen me working in a high school doing girl's PE and today I did a half day in a y1 class. Youngest I've ever taught and they were oh so sweet 💖

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Explained some maths work to y2 this morning and asked if they had any questions. Hand up.

'Yes?'
'Miss, how big is the solar system?'
Kids eh 🤣

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

'End of term tired' currently looks like me attempting to plug my glasses in to my phone charger and getting frustrated when it didn't work 😅

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Today in y4 we were planning a science experiment to do with how sound travels and how distance affects the volume. We were finishing off writing it up before doing the experiment and I asked them to write a prediction. This one made me giggle. We didn't have time either 🤣

An absolutely lovely day with y4 today - Christmas party day, and party we did! 1 day left and then my 4 week stint with them is over... and Christmas holidays are here! I'm really going to miss them 🥲

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Had the most wholesome time this afternoon with y4 - Christmas crafts with parents and it was adorable. Spent most of the afternoon helping this child who didn't have an adult come - when he chose the different sized eyes he put them on and laughed for a good 2 mins. So sweet 🥲

Taught Samba dancing in PE today (to y4). My samba skills are questionable at best... but at least we all had fun! 💃

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Got a few more weeks in high school and then I've been booked for a return visit to a y4 class I've been with before in a school I loved. So I'm now fully booked until Christmas! It's nice knowing what I'll be doing tbh, although the day-to-day stuff is still enjoyable 😊

Supply update of this half term so far: spent the majority of my time in a high school, mostly covering English and been enjoying myself a lot more than expected!

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

In my life as a supply teacher today, I taught a child who was ill at home through a literal robot. She could move it around the desk, talk through it, change its eyes, change the colour... it was WILD. Felt like I was living in the future. 😅

My day with y3 took me to Manchester Aquatics Centre today, right by @Uni_of_MCR. I was immediately taken, not just by the pool and their many diving boards, but by the fun splash-zone at the end!

I may be making a return trip on my own at some point to get some exercise in! 🏊‍♂️

[People of Greater Manchester 🐝 @PeopleofGMCR]

Lunchtime update is that I'm having an AWESOME day on supply today - perhaps joint favourite day since I started supplying in September. It helps having this excellent text to work with, a lovely y3 class of children and being tasked with doing drama in English ❤🎭

[People of Greater Manchester 🐝 @PeopleofGMCR]

An excellent day with y3 today AND I drove home all the way from South Manchester to Prestwich WITHOUT the use of my sat nav! Who is this geographical goddess?

How has your day been today?

[People of Greater Manchester 🐝 @PeopleofGMCR]

Morning Manchester! Today's supply has me journeying to Hulme - the traffic to South Manchester in a morning is often fairly jam-packed, but the long journey times mean I get a good portion of CD listening done in the car.
This morning, 1989 (Taylor's Version) 💃

[People of Greater Manchester 🐝 @PeopleofGMCR]

So last time I tweeted with you all, I was a y5 teacher in Harpurhey. I'm now on supply, at schools all over the Greater Manchester area!
It has been good getting to know local geography a little better - anyone who knows me knows how little I retain when it comes to maps.

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Back in with the y2s today and they were researching a few different prominent figures in society. This child was doing Beyoncé and this drawing is the CUTEST 😍

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

Spent my day yesterday marvelling at the sheer skill of @taylorswift13 at the Eras Tour @vuecinemas. Today I get to continue doing the same, as I was tasked with looking at alliteration in y2 and listening to 'Bad Blood'. Many mini Swifties were created on this day 😘

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

A return trip to a y3 class today - children could all remember my name and were excited, which was a proper boost this morning 🥰

One sweet thing that has made me laugh so far: when doing handwriting practice, started this child off with 'ma' and he wrote 'mama I love you' 🥲

[Miss Leather @MissDLeather]

@Mr_B_W I did this at the end of last school year - feel free to get my perspective if you'd like 👋
