Book 3 of 2025: The Trial by Rob Rinder An easy half term read, a classic 'whodunnit'. I enjoyed the legal insights and always enjoy a mystery!

🇪🇸 Have already re-written our Year 7 scheme of work this morning. Favourite bit of the job is writing curriculum and assessments, I can sometimes always manage to put jobs like this right to the top of the to-do list. #mfltwitterati #mflsky #edusky #eduskymfl #mfledusky

Excellent training last night from Hampshire Governor Services, looking at complaints. A troubling sign of the times that we face ever more complaints from parents. A system that is creaking under the pressure and teams of wonderful people doing their very best for our children. #ukedgovs #govchat

Do any of the #mfltwitterati know if the University of Southampton still offer outreach trips for MFL students? I can't find up to date contact details... #edusky #mfl #mflsky #mfledu

Book 1 of 2025 was The Life Impossible by Matt Haig. Ibiza has a special place in my heart. An enjoyable read, even if I did have to suspend belief for a while which is not in my usual taste of genre.

Nearly spat my coffee out TWICE catching up with They Behave for Me podcast this morning. First at @adamboxereducation.bsky.social admission that he prefers his chips 'missionary' and then at the 'Spicy Take of the Week' jingle @amymayforrester.bsky.social 💀💀💀😂

Our FLA delivered a brilliant presentation to year 10 and 11 today sharing Christmas traditions from Spain. She showed us her favourite El Gordo advert and a video of her family doing the twelve grapes. Really special. #mfltwitterati #mflbluesky #mfledusky #edusky

Done my duty as #UKEdGovs twice this fortnight, with a very sweet student voice visit in there too! Perk of being a governor is being able to meet with and hear from the children directly about how much they love their school. 💙

The irony of carefully crafting a lesson to manage cognitive load, then smashing through a million things in dept meeting on Inset. Guilty. 🫠
