Taught a group of (16!!!) first years today and tell me why I was that terrified of 12/13 year olds😭😭 my first dip into third level/secondary and I was SWEATING 😅😅
Things I’m grateful for today:
The opportunity to learn new things🤍
The warm welcomes from all of the schools in my cluster🤍
Getting to have lunch at my mum and dad’s because my new job is on their doorstep🤍
Coming home to my best friend (and @mrward_tech)🤍
Found out on Friday I’ll be leaving the classroom for the rest of this year to take up a seconded post as a Cluster Attainment Teacher. Sad to be leaving my P3/4/5 behind but excited for a new experience!!🤍
