There's a powerful illustration here regarding "influencers" vs. "experts".

Pranked the Y6 kiddos today! They came in to find my screen “smashed”…then they noticed Snoop-on-the-stoop AKA “Elf on the Shelf” and the hammer in his hand!!! 😂 lol!

Zohran Mamdani in New York Catherine Connolly in Ireland Rob Jetten in the Netherlands Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly The rise of the far right is not inevitable. If we work together, we can dare to hope.

Wishing Mr Zitouni a full and fast recovery and hoping the story of his heroism would bring some sense and shame to the rampant racist narratives sweeping our country. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My Autistic daughter,who struggled with EBSA during her GCSE year,got her results,we were aiming for 4/5’s to get into her college course-she got all 5’s bar English.🫣Panic!visited the 1st prospective college-staff were amazing,can meet need (EHCP) facilities great. Enrolled. RELIEF!!! Fresh start

Loving spending time back in Ireland in my “Happy Place” for the last week. Home really is “Where the heart is!” My favourite thing was listening my 16 yr old developing a hint of a Cork accent after spending time with her cousins, makes my heart happy ❤️

Summer holidays-the only time I get to read for pleasure. Read this awesome book in an afternoon @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social Made me laugh & cry & gave me just a little insight into my daughters world. An afternoon well spent

Summer hols have officially started! You’ll find me here until I am wrinkly like a prune!

Super satisfying job done before breaking up for summer @threebridgessch.bsky.social All my iPads and Chromebooks relabelled and trollies labelled. All displays down, surfaces cleared and everything ready for first day back! I am officially doing ZERO school work over the summer hols.

Can’t believe we have another FULL WEEK to go before we break up for Summer! Voting for a 2 week half term in October seemed like a great idea at the time, however having to make up the days now and dragging myself to the end of term is not the one! Literally cannot keep my eyes open this afternoon

Struggling with a whole week still left to go. Found these pics on my phone & reminded of why I love my job so much. Baby bird fell out of its nest, I put it in a box & brought it inside,when I came back out the kids had built it a nest on the ground until it could get back to its mum! 🥹 🥰

A fab day of Robotics workshops in Y1-3 courtesy of our good friend @eatsleepictrepeat.bsky.social and @eduthingltd.bsky.social . Throughly recommended, educational and fun, the children loved them. Can’t wait to welcome him back next year @threebridgessch.bsky.social

Living with a chronic illness/invisible disability is so tiring. Simple things like journies by public transport, deep cleaning my house, helping redecorate my daughters room…lead to a massive flare up. Curled up in bed with a hot water bottle dosed up on painkillers. #endometriosis #adenomyosis

One of the biggest acts of vandalism by the Conservative government was the getting rid of Sure Start centres. This is welcome news and definitely a step in the right direction

Enlightening day at the CAS Conference @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Made some good contacts and presented my research project.

Just arrived at the venue for the Computing At Schools Conference today! Wow! If this is what King’s College is all about, I can’t wait to start my MA next year!!

Today we welcomed our new friends from Wolf Fields Primary to @threebridgessch.bsky.social for a “Computing Challenge Day”. The children worked in mixed teams to complete green screen, animation and physical computing challenges. It was such an enjoyable day and we can’t wait to do it again!

Today was a day where I feel super grateful to do what I do! I helped to sort out an issue with a boy who really struggles to make good choices & later in the day he came to show me an awesome piece of work he had done! Then I took Y3 Kayaking, fun in the sun taking in nature on our doorstep.

Someone at work today told me that my nails bring them joy! The kids always ask what I’ve got on my nails today. Well this week it’s rainbows to celebrate the month that’s in it and if that spreads joy, then so be it!

I loved her before, love her even more now. Cannot wait to see her perform live in London in August

So far this half term, I have done no work, so today I begrudgingly took out the trusty laptop. But working outside, in the sunshine, in my little garden, listening to the birds has made it quite enjoyable! I must be getting old when seeing my flowers growing makes me so happy!

Book Week @threebridgessch.bsky.social Everyone knows I love a dress up day! The theme was “Dress as a colour representing an emotion of a character from a book” I was Blue, sad Eeyore, complete with raincloud on my head! Costume chucked together last minute.com last night!

A fab trip today with my Digital Leaders to the Apple Store in White City for 2 workshops. GarageBand and Swift Playground. What a great day @threebridgessch.bsky.social

Started mouse skills with Reception this morning. Only used the iPads up till now. A lot of fine motor skills and resilience involved to get the baby cucumber to pop the bubbles! Start them young! minimouse.us @threebridgessch.bsky.social @lyndauk.bsky.social

@suecowley.bsky.social thought you’d like to know, we hosted some awesome trainee teachers from Roehampton Uni today at our school to deliver Computing workshops. Chatting to a group at lunch re behaviour management and one of them quoted you from one of your books!

Delighted to host the next generation of teachers coming through from Roehampton University today @threebridgessch.bsky.social where they delivered great Computing workshops to 5 of our classes with the theme “Hidden Voices” learning about the contribution of POC in WWII. #decolonisedcurriculum

Here’s @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social Reading his poem at our meeting on Thursday Great poem and really good speaker m.youtube.com/watch?v=ih0W...

Walking out of school this evening and this beauty was reaching out from the bush saying “look at me!” Don’t know why but this single rose amongst a sea of green made me feel some type of way, so I captured it “on film”. Stunning. @threebridgessch.bsky.social

Super excited to try this fun physical computing lesson using the BBC Micro:Bit to create a 2 player Reaction Game tomorrow with our Y6 kiddos and our new friends visiting from Alexandria in Egypt. Such fun trying it out today…I really do have the best job @threebridgessch.bsky.social

Computing people-We have students from an international school in Egypt visiting next week @threebridgessch.bsky.social I need a fun 45 min Computing lesson to do x3 with Y6. Collaboration and creativity.Thinking of physical computing using BBC Micro: Bits or Crumbles? Any ideas gratefully received

How am I back at school 3 days and have already lost my voice?!?!

Any of my awesome Compunting people got any fun activities for exploring spreadsheets (Google Sheets)? Next week I will have half a class of Y5 kiddos that are not going on the residential “PGL” trip. I need a one off lesson. I seem to remember @eatsleepictrepeat.bsky.social having something?

Anne-Marie Imafidon was recently awarded the Society Medal by the British Computer Society for her work supporting young women and non-binary people into Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) careers having founded STEMettes. Read more about why ... cs4fn.blog/2025/04/18/a...

Most people looking at my daughter would not realise she is Autistic, at most she comes across as a slightly socially awkward teenager. She went on a school ski trip for 6 days and is so burned out from masking/being social that she has barely left her room for a week. This is what people don’t see

To balance out a productive morning, I spent the afternoon being creative! Why am I ( a middle aged women) obsessed with this little French fish?!?! 😂 The song is stuck in my head

. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social was subjected to vicious personal attacks & a SLAPP suit because she saw what was happening & *how* it was happening. The unholy alliance between the broligarchy & the far right is the biggest threat to democracy since 1945. youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

Been procrastinating on my research project data analysis over the Easter break so took advice from @hannayjeremy.bsky.social and relocated myself to Starbucks and had a very productive few hours! A change of scene away from housework, TV, my comfy sofa was just what I needed! Feeling accomplished

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

Exciting news today! I’ve been accepted onto a MA in STEM Education at KCL! Fingers crossed I’m offered the scholarship so that I can accept my place! Bye imposter syndrome @suesentance.bsky.social @janewaite.bsky.social @katharinechilds.bsky.social @beccip.bsky.social @hannayjeremy.bsky.social

Too much social media over the hols has rotted my brain! This is what I spent the evening doing! Phone detox next week!

I jumped on the Chat GPT action figure bandwagon! Not sure which version I prefer- the cartoony, skinny one or the chubby, more realistic one! @eatsleepictrepeat.bsky.social

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

I’ve got my daughter’s personal exam timetable for GCSEs. Due to her EBSA/Autism she has been on online learning & is only taking Eng, Maths, Science & PE. Even still, this is 15 exams over a 5 week period! The poor kids doing all the subjects! It’s madness. No wonder teen mental health is so bad

Had a fab day @threebridgessch.bsky.social with my awesome Digital Leaders for the second annual “3B Robot Wars”!We had such a good time designing, creating &programming our robots before taking to the STEM Centre area for a “Fight to the Death”!! @redfernelec.bsky.social @philwickins.bsky.social

Exclusive: Leaders face having to make redundancies, curriculum squeezes and cuts to programmes supporting the poorest pupils

No extra funding for schools was announced in today’s spring statement, frustrating union bosses and prompting warnings of 'deep anger among education staff'

Back where I belong! @threebridgessch.bsky.social
