Dream PPA set up when my husband isn’t wfh 😂 I get so much more done at home ✅ very grateful @simonebeach.bsky.social

@a-mymaguire.bsky.social your class look like they had a lovely day at the beach exploring in the rock pools 🌊🐚🦀 Thank you Nature England 💙

Loved spotting the children setting up their own reading group in class this afternoon when the children had chance to choose a book! Happy birthday Sir David Attenborough!

Everybody is probably sick of hearing about our situation 🫣 But I was really happy to be able to shout out our children in this piece in the local paper. I feel like this photo might haunt me forever 😂 www.nwemail.co.uk/news/2607077...

A good news day 💗 I was nervous about speaking in front of the planning committee at Barrow Town Hall but everyone made me very welcome. Plans approved for the new school building 🎉🎉🎉

Love this from Pope Leo ❤️

Not a bad residential room view back in my old stomping ground! ⛰️ Keswick will always have my heart ❤️

Amazing to visit the tomb of Pope Francis today! He’s definitely been the Pope I’ve ’grown up with’ with world youth day, Vatican visits and his wise words! Special man ❤️

He is not here; He is risen ❤️ Matthew 28:6 Happy Easter ❤️

Gorgeous moments of peace in the often chaotic last week of term! So lucky we can share our faith ❤️

Library bus visit today ❤️ Surely this is the dream job, I’d just have to brave actually driving it 😂

Islamic centre welcome here

Exciting having a night away for the NWCDTP Catholic senior leadership programme! What a treat but we’ve been assured it’s definitely not a jolly 😂

So grateful for Mum (retired teacher) and Dad coming on school trips to help, frogspawn spotting and hot chocolate making ❤️ although they did leave the sick on the bus to me 😂

Half term highlights ❤️

Not sure whether to be impressed my nearly 30 husband looks so young or furious he’s come home without the valentines dine in (with fizz) he tried to buy without his ID 😂💔

So proud and grateful for these two ❤️ the NEU have been brilliant in our situation! @neunion.bsky.social

Protected PPA at home is definitely one of the best things a school can do for teacher wellbeing ❤️

Friday night RE working walls 🎉🕺anything missing or any ideas?

3 yrs tomorrow since our evacuation. “school’s budget was balanced on the day of the evac” “Our children deserve the same opportunities and experiences as all the other little boys and girls” “not the kind of money you can make up by doing less colour photocopying” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today is the 3 year anniversary of our evacuation. We are pleased to be on the school rebuilding programme. We’re grateful to all the people who have supported us and helped us to keep going. But for the community we serve the impact on our budget and the legacy of that is unfair and unjust.

Crazy to think it’s been three years! I realised today my Year 2s have never been taught in a normal primary setting! Hopefully they’ll make it into their new building by the time they are in Year 4!

Here's a good news story from 2025 you may have missed! In Kenya, the laws that criminalise farmers for saving their own seeds were successfully challenged and declared unconstitutional. More on why this sets a positive precedent. ⤵️ https://bit.ly/49fFq8Q

Mabel has also felt the shock to system of early mornings again 🥱 Excited to see my class tomorrow though ❤️

A year today this article was in The Guardian Rundown schools risk ‘irreparable’ harm to pupils, UK children’s laureate says www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024... Thank you @joshhalliday.bsky.social @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social Telling important stories makes a real difference

My favourite way to reset ❤️

“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.”Brené Brown Sending care and compassion to anyone finding this season a little more tender in ways that aren’t always visible. 🧡 #kindness #compassion #christmas #care Picture by @nikkimiles_

Gorgeous day and 9km walked up the lakes! Love mums commitment to the turkey buns bringing jars of cranberry and apple sauce 😂❤️ Merry Christmas all ❤️

Such a special evening. So lovely when we get all the different schools together. Really proud of all our children.

So lucky to have Spring Mount Church for our Nativity! Pulled it together in a morning after walking there in our costumes ❤️ Love our community ❤️

“Do not believe everything you think.” Allan Lokos We all have moments when our thoughts run ahead of us. We can take a breath and come back to what’s actually happening. We don’t have to follow every thought that appears. 🧡 #kindness #positivity #SelfCare Picture by selfcare.recipe

Second flier drop day

Always a special night at the Church light switch on and parish fair ❤️ Love our community

Christmas fair baking but I’ll definitely pretend a child made these 🤣🫣 #maryberry

School evacuation challenge 999th today, how can we practise our infant nativity in a hall with a 60 person limit 😂 might need our barn animals singing in the corridor. The show must go on and all that 🫣

#RedWednesday #ACIN

Great check in with @myhappymind.bsky.social today! So many new and exciting bits 💙🩵 Excited to share with staff!

Love planning wellbeing walks for staff complete with cute coffees! Has anyone had any good ideas/events for staff wellbeing?

This Wednesday is #RedWednesday #ACIN Last year we worked with the high school to make a video in support. It’s too long for on here but here’s a little clip. The one good thing to come from our evacuation is that we get to work more closely with the children and staff of St Bernard’s High School.

"Cancel debt, fund climate action!" 📢 Great to be joined by so many brilliant supporters in Manchester for the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice. 💚 As #COP30 continues in Brazil, see how you can take action on the climate crisis. ⤵️ https://bit.ly/47M4KBp

My favourite school week of the year! Always a pleasure taking the children to Waterpark at Coniston! The growth we see in the children in 5 days is amazing! Lots of ‘I can’t do that’ to ‘wow look at me Miss’ 😍 Always thankful to our amazing team who give up their week for our wonderful pupils ❤️

Considering how we poverty proof the school day as we head into winter is crucial work. So many useful ideas to help us do just that in this ⬇️👍

Fantastic day at the first day of the Catholic senior leadership program with NWCDTP. Lovely to chat to colleagues from different dioceses and great talks, especially from @raymondfriel.bsky.social really interesting to reflect how our the Catholic social teaching underpins our school!

Fantastic first day on residential, just sitting on bedroom floors until our last couple of adventurers are asleep 😴 First night is the worst night 😂🫣😍

First weekend European city break 🇩🇰 Friday night to Sunday afternoon! No flight delays and not feeling too tired, can see these becoming a thing!

Next Saturday is UlverSTEM, our 8th year of bringing an entirely free day of interactive STEM activities to the Furness area, last year we had almost 2,000 people attending, we’ll have shows & stalls & a huge range of interactive fun for all the family. Please join us! 🔭🧪⚗️🧬👩🏻‍🔬🧑🏻‍💻

Lovely RE subject leader meeting today talking about using oracy to embed vocab in our new RED, an informative talk on the Sacraments and even some moderation! We don’t mess around in Lancaster Diocese 😂💪🏻
