Nice feeling when you plan a Scheme of Work from scratch and first lesson tells you you've pitched it at the perfect pace for the class!


No #CasConf2025 for me this year! 😔 Although this is due to my PGCE graduation taking place on the same day - we'll allow it this year 😃


The last few weeks has been a great opportunity to try out different routines with classes. Year 9s have been tricky so far, but this week I feel like I've made great progress with them!


6 weeks as an ECT! I'm nackered, but am really feeling good about the learning that's happening in my classroom, and the routines embedded at the core of it all! 2 more weeks, then it's time to recharge!


I like Educating Yorkshire - the issue is that I'm now seeing even more ridiculous judgements of teachers from people who do not have a clue.


Upstairs neighbour is doing their daily evening 20,000 steps


This week I've had really positive feedback from many that have popped into my lessons. I feel like ECT1 has started strongly!


first night in my new flat - think my upstairs neighbours spend their entire day walking in circles - at least thats what it sounds like 😂


Love an action shot!

Blimey - qualified teacher Vs trainee is a whole different kettle of fish. I am nackered - but really happy with how this first week has gone.


It's the audacity

Rob from the poor. Give to the state. That’s Rachel Thieves.

Honestly what do this lot think we're teaching them?

One of my favourite parts of @LeeAndersonMP_’s speech at conference last year. The indoctrination of our children must end.



Day and a half left. Final stretch!


If I had a pound for every time I've heard the word Blooket this week I could retire and move to Barbados.


The most humanising thing this week has been the transition from 'Mr PGCE' to 'Mr D McCarthy' on the cover sheet!


The round of applause my dad organised as I walked into our regular pub did get me a bit choked up I can't lie!

And just like that, the sign off is done! I'm a qualified teacher!
