Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Teaching and data-ery bits all day. Although first a very damp commute.... Have a good day all!

Occasionally I get a pleasant suprise with PowerBI, and I'm happy to report today was one of those days 😊 Changed a behaviour report in front of SLT on the fly and it all worked. Using @arboreducation.bsky.social 's live data feed.

The future of race timing! Well sometimes at least. Enjoying Webscorer's GPS tracking for a long fell race. www.swfellrunners.uk www.dartdata.uk

The Devon Junior Fell Race Inter-counties selection race is going to be on Easter Sunday - sign up for U9/U11/U13/U15 at www.webscorer.com/register?rac... #fellrace #fellrunning #fellrunner

5g internet at home finally done. Costing me half what the FTTC was costing, getting the same or better speeds. Very happy 😊

Here we go again! Live outside broadcast on Cross Rhythms Plymouth 96.3fm from 7:30pm. Field Lilly and Laura Goldthorpe at North Plymouth Community Church/The Worship Centre πŸ‘

A very late check in to #teacher5oclockclub , possibly too late! Got distracted as today is drive in day rather than the usual two wheels 🚲 . Lots of data bits today, some timetable poking and IT goings on, followed by engineering for a live FM outside broadcast after work! Have a good day all β˜•

Currently weighing up whether to switch to 5g broadband or not. Cost is a big factor, speed is secondary but via several experiments it appears to be better than the current Plusnet connection.

Morning #teacher5oclockclub , it's hump day! Hoping for working internet and a slightly warmer classroom today. Have a good day all β˜•

First of two outside broadcasts this week, only online for this one. Next one is FM

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Heading to Cheltenham for the DISCO West conference (think less flashing lights and more school data geekery). Came half way to Taunton last night narrowly missing an M5 closure. Which means I get to have breakfast with this creature! Have a good Friday all β˜•

This is what school is all about. Not just lessons, but life. The chance to be part of something huge, to sing your heart out, to make memories that last forever. School trips like Young Voices aren’t extras - they’re essentials. This is childhood. This is education.

Is there no better sight when visiting a different school site to normal? #cake #edusky

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! A day of PEPs, data jobs and app development today. Doesn't feel like there is much chance to draw breath currently, but I am enjoying having the chance to innovate. Have a good day all β˜•

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! The never ending job list continues to grow. Five lessons and a STEM event today. So four wheels instead of two this morning. Have a good day all β˜•

Goodnight

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! A day of data and meetings, hopefully a few cups of tea. Doing some PowerBI dashboard work and finishing some assessment work on @arboredu.bsky.social - note to self - changing the number of data collections mid year is not fun! Have a good day all β˜•

Pigeon in the prep room! Spent my PPA dismantling the ceiling whilst a TA deployed digestives to tempt our visitor down. Pleased to report success and pigeon left the premises before the pupils!

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! A not quite full day of teaching KS4 ahead. Need tea. Have a good good day all β˜•

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! More assessment data jobs to do today. Very glad it is Friday - been a week of shuffling data about. Have a good day all β˜•

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Assessment building/ development day today. Slightly more awake than yesterday. Have a good day all β˜•

A lot to think about, especially in the context of school, after watching Idris Elba this evening. Belonging and reducing exclusion.

We’re incredibly grateful to the BBC and Idris Elba for shedding light on the ongoing #youthviolence and #knifecrime 'crisis'. Watch tonight at 9 pm on BBC 1, & on Iplayer now. 1/3

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Very tired after a late one yesterday, so today will feature a lot of tea β˜• Do not recommend trying to rebuild your schools assessment system in a single day! Anyway, it's off on the bike we go. Have a good day all β˜•

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Having an assessment building day. Much tea needed to power through! Have a good day all β˜•

If you’re an ambitious primary leader this headship opportunity is a fantastic opportunity. You get to work in a terrific trust with a down to earth and forward thinking CEO. It’s a flourishing school giving you the opportunity to really stretch your wings. mynewterm.com/jobs/143476/...

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Doesn't sound very nice out there, currently weighing up whether to drive instead of cycling. Day of science teaching followed by data-ery bits. Have a good day all β˜•

'We must tackle excesses in the pay of MAT senior executives. My preference would be for trusts to abide by a mandatory pay ratio for new appointees [so] the highest-paid cannot receive more than a set multiple of the lowest-paid working in their schools'

I went to the Science Museum yesterday and as well as having a ball with my nearly four year old in their amazing child spaces (god love free London museums) I was utterly charmed by this caption.

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Up early clearing the inbox so I can crack on with the school data bits I really want to. Have a good day all β˜•

Downside of #BETT - I'm now trying to organise my notes to disseminate to other colleagues. If I can read my own scribbles..... πŸ˜‚
