I love my school. 16:30 on a Friday afternoon, I was having a beautifully in depth conversation about Romeo + Juliet with a Y11, directing her to her peers who are experts in that text; students revising; teachers conversing…gorgeous microcosm of NSG culture.

I’ve always been proud to teach and then lead Film Studies - and this is exactly why. Representation is important.

Though I didn’t get to see her the whole time, I must say @HelenJo96942206 had the magic about her as well, I feel so grateful to have such caring and joyful people around me.

Oh my goodness gracious I love my job. Got to move chairs about for the Midsummer Concert at @NSG_Music1 with @MrsHolmes_NSG —the talent of our students is awesome in the truest sense of the word. Well done all; your passion and joy shone so brightly tonight!

Shone? Shined? My grammar is hazy with exhaustion but know my excitement is real!

@CJGreenTeach I’m stuck because I both wish you were there and am not sure if I could’ve handled any more people that I look up to in there listening to me wax poetic!
Next time 💜

[SEdwards @SEdwardsTeach]

I did another assembly. It went much better than last time (I’m absolutely buzzing) and I think that’s down to a few things—

@vicky_maths Thanks so much, Vicky!

[SEdwards @SEdwardsTeach]

(I even saw this play out in my lessons. We had a free writing session on a topic and the writing produced was beyond anything my students have produced before—they paid attention and crafted magic; many times it was in the form of a poem as well.)

I loved doing it. I’m only upset my beloved y10s didn’t get to see it. They did ask me about it once I picked them up from their science exam and asked to post it on their Google classroom.

Next assembly will be even better, I’m sure of it.

[SEdwards @SEdwardsTeach]

I’m most proud of all the teachers and kids (and there were more than a few) who came up and said they have a new or renewed appreciation for poetry. It IS magic. And it’s a magic anyone can conjure so long as they pay attention.

This week has been a good week. @MrsHolmes_NSG
