Best week ever for my car to break down on a Sunday morning! #NotWinningAtLife

On Thurs i walked back from conference, I was thinking over everything we had learnt & just my crazy journey in RE,what was next and some other things. I saw this statue. @floellabenjamin.bsky.social gave me my degree in 2006.She talked about future&encouragement. I’ll continue to strive to do this.

Because for some reason Bluesky feels like a friendlier forum, I just want to say a huge thank you to those of you who walked a tricky day on Thursday with me, your friendship and care means so much.

When you realise that in 18 months things will change. Spending some time reflecting on my RE journey, I’m feeling grateful for the opportunities I have had and look forward to seeing what someone else will do with them!

The last few days have been uplifting to see so many RE folk come together to think about where we go going forward. I really enjoyed hearing teachers from the leadership programme share their research.

Puppy cuteness overload!

Some great discussions surrounding the work of prison fellowship today! Proud teacher moment when they linked this to the parable of the great banquet!

@roywd.bsky.social just tweeting to check in and say we are all still thinking of you! From Dawn’s Jerusalem trip room buddy! PS- An RE friend sent me a Dawn Chorus rose in Dawn’s memory and today the buds are starting to open, it made me think of her and smile…

Kicking off #PrimaryFocusWeek with a blog by @natre-update.bsky.social chair @katiekatie84.bsky.social A powerful reflection on the importance of recognising and valuing primary-specific expertise in RE leadership. ow.ly/vgs450VSBgi#PrimaryFocusWeek#NATRE #TeamRE #PrimaryRE

Great to be at the RE council AGM today! Lots of exciting developments and work that the team at REC are doing and good to be with RE community friends!

This week has really brought home to me how we mustn’t take what we have for granted. Take the opportunity, jump a bit higher, risk something and above all tell the people who you care about and you value what they mean to you.

Thank you to all the members of the @natre-update.bsky.social steering group who are giving up their well earned Saturdays to support teachers and pupils of RE….you are truly wonderful people!

It’s a @natre-update.bsky.social kind of a day…off to London to talk all things RE with a truly wonderful team and a very special visitor!

RE teacher in the South West? You don’t want to miss out on this….last one as a hub leader so if you want to see me shed a tear, do also come along! 😉

I’ve had such a lovely weekend celebrating my 40th birthday with the people who make me the happiest (well there are more who had good excuses why they couldn’t be there)! Thanks to some of team RE who made the trek to the SW to celebrate with me!

Very much looking forward to getting my copy so I can do the same! How exciting!

Listen to @katiekatie84.bsky.social talking about GCSE results day and the need for specialist teachers to deliver the RS GCSE timbre-player.sharp-stream.com/embed/item/4...

Started my day off talking to UCB radio about GCSE results day and RE! Sending all best wishes to students picking up their results, if anything surprises you, please talk to those around you! Huge well done to all teachers for what they’ve done to get their students to today!

Sending teachers and students all the best for GCSE results day today.

I can’t tell you how much work it’s taken from the amazing team at @natre-update.bsky.social and our wonderful office staff to achieve this!!We hope that you are as excited as we are!

Well doesn’t #bluesky feel like a refreshing change from all the adverts and unfollowed content that’s put on feeds on the other channel?! I’m so pleased to be here!

So after having my arm twisted by several members of the @natre-update.bsky.social exec, I have joined the world of Bluesky!
