When you insist on bringing your cat along on your caravan holiday, you can't then complain when it routinely wakes you up at 3am with zoomies and quilt pouncing....can you?

It's not often you can pin point the exact day a word was born. But Horace Walpole coined the term 'serendipity' on 28th January 1754. Discuss how serendipity is actually just the human experience and thus a key part of science/technology. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Ginger cat is now known as Marmalade and has his own bed, snuggle station and food bowl in our school foyer. He rocks up daily, wanders the staffroom and corridors ... And is loved by one and all.

Things I've seen from my garden this past week: A stressed seagull, swooping repeatedly on some form of bird of prey (who was pretty casual about it all tbh). A green parakeet, now clearly nesting in the trees beside my house, which means I'm not telling fibs, after all. Awaits apologies...

Currently bickering with the mini me over stationery, largely because it's mine yet it keeps turning up in her pencil case.

Why, when we invest in a scheme, did a singular Science lesson take me 4 hours to plan and adapt today? Meh.

It's bewildering to me that I can steer a class of other people's kids through trepidatious waters but, when it comes to my own 7yo, it's oftentimes a wild and hostile passage! 🤣 We're off ice-skating on one of the hottest days of the year. And I don't want to go! Send help.

Really hoping that the kind, collaborative nature of #edutwitter rolls over to this somewhat familiar-faced platform, sans Trump, sans Elon, sans everything (caustic)! #eduuk
