A post it note has just made my day! I was out a a CPD event yesterday so left Computing lessons for a “Random Supply teacher” for my Y2 and Y6 classes (Y2 doing AR & Y6 AI Machine Learning). Asked the Y4 Digital Leaders to support the Y2 class. I just found a lovely note from said “Random Supply”

What a fab venue for Computing Leaders CPD today with the awesome @philwickins.bsky.social very sad that it’s the end of an era as the government have cut funding for any more in person courses. Don’t be a stranger Mr Wikins

I’m loving watching my daughter’s unmasking phase &supporting her on her journey finding her authentic Autistic self…& I know it’s her love language, &I am so happy that I am her safe person…but the infodumping!!! 2hours straight tonight on all sorts…I had so much to do, but I smiled & listened🥰

Was looking for an easy lesson on AI Machine Learning for a random supply to do with my Y6 Computing class tomorrow as I’m out on CPD. Came across Code.org AI for Oceans! Perfect! Highly recommend @threebridgessch.bsky.social

Dear Computing teacher, get help, support, and new ideas from @digitallcharity.bsky.social . We are here for you www.digitall.charity/post/support...

So tired of having to be “That woman”in order to get things that should be simple done.Wanted to discharge myself last night,Dr said no as super important I had scan booked for 1.30 today.Checked twice this am,still ok. 1.30 no one shows up to bring me, 2,2.30…I go full Karen, a porter shows up…

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

The NHS is incredible, A&E nurses are literal angels (I genuinely am in awe of their levels of tolerance and patience in the most challenging of workplaces) and morphine is the best thing since sliced bread. The NHS is also totally broken and on its knees.

I am able! If you just see me as a human with different ability. If you judge me by my strengths not just my weaknesses. If you judge me from my starting point rather than standardised milestones. Your standardised expectations are disabling. Your unfair comparisons are disabling. #able #autism

Donald Trump has sent out a letter banning everyone from calling him a felon with instant dismissal for all who disobey. But he can't fire us. Donald Trump is a Felon. Donald Trump is a Felon. Donald Trump is a Felon. Donald Trump is a Felon.

Very useful and thought provoking conference held by the incredible Springhallow Special School in Ealing today.The keynote speaker @kieranrose.bsky.social was inspiring & made me question my biases &…well..everything really! The Cyber security bit was great too. Now it’s half term baby!!!

To find out a bit more about how Wonderblocks links to the EYFS framework and the Computing curriculum, read my blog post for Computing At School (CAS). www.computingatschool.org.uk/forum-news-b...

This is rather good! Simplifies and demystifies key computing pedagogies

Why does my body hate me? Solidarity to anyone suffering with a chronic illness, it’s exhausting. The pain today is crippling. Rocking up to a conference complete with hot water bottle attached to my abdomen is not a good look but a necessary one #endometriosis #adenomyosis

Just in case there is any doubt...

Over the moon! Post intervention focus group for my research project today-every child said that they felt more likely to consider a career in computing when they grown up,after taking part in our Y5 Computing Careers Week & careers fair. @threebridgessch.bsky.social “Everyone is a Computing Person”

We’ve had a wonderful artist in school for the past week working with our “Art Ambassadors”, to create an amazing mural. On another wall, children and staff were encouraged to paint a square. Happy with my effort but love the sunflower I did on behalf of one of our TAs! @threebridgessch.bsky.social

A great day of online safety themed workshops with the amazing @eatsleepictrepeat.bsky.social and @eduthingltd.bsky.social Y4,5&6 learned so much and had a great day. A great way to finish of Safer Internet Week @threebridgessch.bsky.social

If you think about potential warning signs that a system isn't meeting needs, an increase in exclusions and a decrease in attendance would be two obvious ones to look for. The DfE is not going to be able to increase #inclusion simply by Ofsted-ing it. They have to look at the wider system. #EduSky

Getting ready for #SaferInternetDay2025 #SID2025 tomorrow. Learning about Scams and how to avoid them. I asked @sunoai.bsky.social to help create a rap using the (very basic) lyrics I wrote, this is what it came up with…it’s a bop!!! suno.com/song/a396c82...
