Dusting off my old Twitter handle to engage and connect with some wonderful delegates from the @FOBISIA1 Curriculum development and success conference with the ever-knowledgable @MaryMyatt. Some really interesting food for thought and a pleasure to be able to present y’day.

In a profession that is continually vilified in the media, THIS is why I do the job I do! Not for the praise and adoration but to know you are genuinely making an impact on people’s lives. And yes, I was very emotional reading this!!

@Lauratymon @BSC_JSHead Thank you - I’m incredibly excited. Hope all is wel with you - can’t believe how long it seems since we were bright, bushy-eyed NQTs 👴🏼

@MrSellers20 @mrslwade @MrsLeedale @PullanMrs @MrsJHadfield @PillingerMiss Doubt it was quite at my level #NthDegree As for the voice... well, it’s my ‘good little Christian voice’ now! 😇

As Summer ends and seeing so many awesome classroom ‘transformations’ I would usually feel so guilty! However, this year I decided my Summer break would revolve around the things I love doing, so I travelled South America and have never felt more refreshed #MentalHealthMatters

@mrslwade @MrSellers20 @LakesideYork Miss a Lakeside sports day! I can only imagine the joys with the boombox today!

@lizziebooks @CMBClibraries You have written a beautiful story that endlessly enthused both the children and I. We are all salivating at the thought of Milla and Iggy’s next adventure together - keep up the amazing work!

[Alex Chamberlain @MrChamberlain_]

The children have had a fantastic day today celebrating ‘Calderdale Book of the Year’. Thank you to all the authors(@PiersTorday @bookhorse @doyle_cat) and the librarians (@CMBClibraries ) who have helped create such special memories for the children. And well done @lizziebooks!

As part of our hook into ratio and proportion this morning, we made mocktails 🍹🍹Incredible engagement and motivation from my little stars! #Its5PMSomewhere #HappyHour #Hook

[Alex Chamberlain @MrChamberlain_]

We consolidated our understanding of how to measure angles this morning using masking tape on the tables. The children worked collaboratively to aid one another and addressed one another’s misconceptions. Writing on the tables was also a bonus! #ActiveHandsActiveMinds #Angles

Dusting off my absolute favourite Year 6 lesson - dissection! Blown away by the maturity and huge engagement from my team today! Well done guys; you totally smashed it. #ActiveHandsActiveMinds #Dissection #ScienceLearning 💖💖

[Alex Chamberlain @MrChamberlain_]

So proud of how our diversity and equality poems have turned out. We took inspiration from @bobdylan to create our wonderful poems and then made them into paper planes #CreativeWriting #Purposeful #BlowinInTheWind #JonMuth

[Alex Chamberlain @MrChamberlain_]

@lthompsonwrites Very much looking forward to this one! The Light Jar went down a storm with my class.

[Alex Chamberlain @MrChamberlain_]

The most perfect way to end my incredible time at @LakesideYork . 12 days of Chambo was a real highlight. Very excited for the next chapter but will miss everyone immensely (even @MrSellers20)!

Love you all! #DreamTeam #AFewTears

[Alex Chamberlain @MrChamberlain_]

Very jealous, Miss P!

Can’t quite believe tomorrow starts my last week at @LakesideYork. Having been there for nearly two years (including my time as a student), I have loved every minute. Here’s to one more awesome week!
