It's that one day each year that takes me back to my service 20 years ago and reminds me how lucky I am to have my life, family and career as a teacher today.

@MrHtheteacher Hello everyone!

@RobertLindsay We had our 13YO Lab put down last week. Hardest decision to make but we set a date amd did it at home so she was calm and peaceful. That made it easier to cope with.

So unbelievably proud of our BGA poetry winners tonight when they recited their poems for the large crowds at Elefest at @blackpoolzoo. Every child in the school wrote a poem & these poems were selected as the best! Talk about a real purpose for writing @PieCorbett @Talk4Writing

@IrelandChrissie I've done my NPQLT and now on with my NPQSL. Definitely the right next step for me but I suppose it depends on if you're already in that role or not.

Back in 2008 I motorcycled around the world with a friend. In Kiev (Ukraine) a family took us in and gave us a bed for the night. They gave us a prayer and I wrote it in my diary and forgot about it. Reading it today, the words really hit home! #Ukraine

The children in Year 4 have enjoyed exploring circuits. They made things work and took apart plugs to see what was inside. 💡🔌
