Tonight’s #FridayFive is visiting from 🇦🇺

When you’re 30 minutes into a Zumba class, and the new tune is Dance Again by Jennifer Lopez. The last thing I’m going to answering in the affirmative to is the question “ARE YOU FEELING SEXY???”. No. No I am not. I’m absolutely cream crackered is what I am. #EduExercisers

Here’s hoping that Tom Curry doesn’t pick up any injuries while on international duty. Would be nice to see him playing in the prem after the QNS. Feels like an eternity since he was wearing a Sale shirt 🦈🦈🦈 #ENGvsAUS

Oooh-eeeeee-oooohhhhhh what are your #FridayFive?

Delighted to share another summary- a profoundly thought-provoking book. A must-read for those interested in the the bigger picture of transforming learning. Thanks to @P_A_Kirschner for his help with the summary. Download summary and book here: itsalearningcurve.education/cogsci-book-...

I’m not crying, you’re crying to this week’s #FridayFive

For those of us who are of a certain age, you might find the lyrics to Snooker Loopy by Chas and Dave a help for one of the questions.

Enjoyed this post and would also add that having really felt as though I was stagnating a couple of years ago, it led to significant dissatisfaction. A new context made all the difference.

Day 38 Physics & Physical Sci - Did @cossettej.bsky.social newton block lab. Lots of setup so did it with both classes. My old set of blocks were beat up and missing pieces so adapted my set of a million go cars to do the same thing. Great lab to do each year! #iteachphysics #teach180

Been inspired by the Green Party lately? We've got a by-election in Hale and an opportunity to elect Orla as our next Green councillor. Elections don't come cheap so if you can chip in to make this happen please do. @traffordgreenparty.bsky.social www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/lets-keep-...

My Dad and I share our Wordle scores every day, and today he got his in SIX-SEVAAAN. He’s 76 and I hope he appreciates the irony. In other news, he baked me a Christmas cake yesterday, and I’d better remember to bring my cake tin down to Suffolk next week.

Been a while since I've uploaded anything new to the site. I recently needed to make a new sheet on scalars on vectors, so have uploaded that here: sciencedoctor.school.blog/physics-ks4/...

Where am I? #FridayFive

Heads of Department/SLT What do you do for pupils who have missed lessons due to being absent? Do you give extra work, catch up work, direct them somewhere etc? What does it look like? Would appreciate RTs for a wider range 👍

#FridayFive is saying its prayers. 1. Let it Be. The Beatles. 2. Fishing for Religion. Arrested Development. 3. Ghost. Ella Henderson. 4. Grandfather please stand on the shoulders.. Lana del Rey. 5. Living on a Prayer. Bon Jovi.

Have been out on a lovely gravel ride this morning. While the highlight should have been the churro doughnut at the canal barge café stop, which was so saucy my right leg looked like it had lost a fight with a bottle of fake tan, it was actually seeing our Y10 DofE group kayaking as we rode past.

Today I discovered that a massive bag of Swizzels sweets is a great way to model meiosis. Also has the advantage that I had to eat the two packets of Love Hearts where I’d ‘swapped’ bits of chromosomes around. It’s a hard life. #SciEdUK

Looking forward to tomorrow’s women’s rugby. Expecting an 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England Vs Canada 🇨🇦 final. Whoever wins I’ll be delighted, because the winner is most definitely women’s rugby. And closer to home #NorthernRugbyMatters

My little bit of lovely… www.owlsintowels.org

And we’re back at the rugby!!! Got a couple of photos with Sharky. Unfortunately I look angry, or tapped.

Needing two entries - too many to choose from. It’s going to be a bumper playlist week 🙌🏼

New academic year, new me? Time to get back in the #FridayFive game.

Many of my year 8 advisory have mastered the art of the crook of the elbow fart. We ended up having a break in proceedings today just so everyone could make farting noises 💨💨💨💨 It was probably the highlight of my day 😂

Happy Where’s My Lanyard? Day! #EduSky

New academic year resolution. Self care by virtue of exercising. Specifically if I wake up early and can’t get back to sleep. And while it’s not particularly aspirational, I’m going to challenge myself to complete couch potato to 5k, seeing as it’s taken me all summer to get to week 3. #EduSky

Great blog from @claireharley.bsky.social Just going to add echinacea to my shopping list, and also recommend vitamin D seeing as we’re heading into the darker months. It has done wonders for my energy levels.

Put the tent on the pannier rack and set out into the Cheshire countryside. Most impressed that the tent didn’t fall off the rack during the journey! #Bikepackamatazz

I would be really interested to see if there’s an age split here. I think if I had been teaching when I was in my 20s I’d be more inclined to go on the trip. But these days, in my late 40s, I prefer my own bed at night

Don't be put off moving away from Spotify if you have lots of playlists etc. Qobuz has much better sound quality, and you can transfer your playlists, albums etc via an app called Soundiiz. Worth a punt when you get a free trial. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This photo has taken me back to my childhood and the penny pushers in Golden Nugget. Happy days of swimming in the Marina Centre, walks on the prom, and the arcades. Saw the Radio 1 roadshow in Yarmouth a couple of times too 🤩 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/a...

Our teeny tiny tabby has bullied the brute, Tuxie, out of his cat bed. So we’ve bought yet another (small dog) cat bed. So far so good for this 5.5kg boy who, in most parts, is a lover, not a fighter. Now to keep the teeny tiny one out of it.

Spending time with my parents down in Suffolk at Greene King - absolutely superb brewery tour with great views from the brewery roof, and a very knowledgable guide.
