Everyone talking about turning off alarms and here I am with the 2yo waking me at 5:30 as usual 😫

A rare thing today, kids have been taken by a friend, allowing Mrs Goater and me to enjoy an M&S dine in meal. We had no idea what a terrine was until 20 minutes ago 😂 #JustFancyPaté #Valentines #WhyYesThatIsAJungleBookPlate

@jshmtn.bsky.social Interviewed alongside someone from your new department today, I believe! :P

Today I went for an LP interview at Ashby School to work with @blatherwicksam.bsky.social . What an amazing school! Fantastic day though I was unsuccessful. Onwards and upwards!

All 3 children up at half 5 -_-

Sometimes I exaggerate how unaware I am of popular things (I don't know why), but I genuinely 100% have never heard of "Bad Bunny"?? Is that really who did the superbowl half time show?

YOU 🐝🐝🐝!!! Another brilliant performance by #brentfordfc

Woah! #MathsConf40 is on my doorstep! Closer than my closest supermarket (just!)

Here you go! A short video (filmed by my daughter and a bit rough around the edges!) about our book set up - at the end I show how we do our treasury tags www.youtube.com/watch?v=plIo...

It is pointless trying to explain anything to a kleptomaniac using metaphors; they take things literally.

Nothing like enjoying your slightly cheaper pint while imagining the toddler crying from hunger that paid for it.

I don't often read the @teachertapp.bsky.social daily read, but I wanted to know what on earth an attendance robot is. So I read today's blog but I am none the wiser. What on earth is an attendance robot!?

Wait, is Rory Cellan-Jones a Bee!? Twas a brilliant win indeed 😁

Haha, Mary is such a hero

This is great from @paulkirschner.bsky.social

Shit. It was even more perfect in person. Well then, here goes nothing...

Viewing a house this morning. Weren't actively looking, happy renting for now, but the perfect house came up at a crazy price. Excited.

Just heard from the missus that British Gas has come out and fixed it and was very confused what part the guy the other day had ordered and then no showed with. Hilarious. -_-

We've not had heating or hot water since Monday morning. Bit sick of it really

I think this is my favourite Vinted find yet. £3!! (Plus postage etc) Disappointingly, they do not move themselves, let alone destroy each other :P

I’m stepping back into a HOD role. I have my own experiences from the first HOD role but what would your best advice be for going into a new dept and what do you wish you’d have been doing from the start? Please share to get more voices. (And answer yourself) @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

Just had my first filling. Horrendous.

My Twitter/X account has been hacked, and I can no longer access it. In other words, I'm no longer on Twitter/X and any new messages aren't from me. You can still follow me on BlueSky. Please spread the word here and also on Twitter/X.

As I'm currently (still) reading a Martin Luther King bio, I got this reference!

Oh no. New HoD at work is a Forest fan.

Mr Goater's 2026 Book thread! Shamelessly stealing the idea from @missradders.bsky.social. I'm trying to read more this year, so I'm going to keep track here as I finish books :)

Just opened Bluesky to 28 notifications! Would never have happened for me on the other place. Love #Edusky

#MathsToday I was brought this question by someone I tutor. We got there in the end but my my was that complicated. Would love to know if there's an easier way! How would you do it?

Just finished organising our Kallax of board games. Very satisfying. (This uhh... is not the whole collection) #BoardGameGeek #FarLandOfSpareOom

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

I am branching out into Whole school timetabling this year... What are peoples go to for initial set up? Pen and paper? Excel? Straight into timetabling software? Any retweets outside of maths would be great too.

Why is my Facebook full of people posting pictures from 2016?? What's going on!?

I've just signed this. Even though we vote for an individual and not a party, their party affiliation represents most of what they stand for - that's what people vote on, not an individual's personality

When I was 8, my teacher Mrs Ashby said she thought I would enjoy this new series of books. She was right. Today, my almost 8 year old son has just finished reading book 7 in A Series of Unfortunate Events after starting them a couple weeks ago. Thank you Mrs Ashby. #2026YearOfReading

I quite like KPop Démon Hunters. But the two year old singing it at the top of his voice from his cot at 2am is not the one.

This is the best week because with TWO different classes, I'm starting my very favourite topic - PYTHAGORAS! #TheManTheMythTheLegend #Beans

Went to bed at 8. Still didn't sleep well. 2 yo decided 4am was wake up time.

I went to bed so so tired, so why the poop could I not sleep!? It's got to the point where I'm tempted to call in sick so I can sleep :(

A man whose word can be relied on.

Very excited that our new HoD who started last week is getting us to try @drfrostmaths.bsky.social as a replacement for Sparx. I've always wanted to join team Jamie 😁

I think I am persuaded that we should tackle kids online at the level of hardware (eg no smartphones til 16) and app stores, rather than individual social media app bans, as that means fewer protections for kids that do get accounts & a Wild West on those apps

Soooo today I learned the name for how I read 'out loud in my head'. What's really blown my mind though is finding out that I actually move my vocal cords ever so subtly without even realising it while I read 🤯🤯🤯

Senior Leadership Vacancies | The Long Eaton School We are recruiting for two senior leadership roles at The Long Eaton School, part of Archway Learning Trust: Vice Principal – Inclusion Assistant Principal – Pastoral Care Find out more and apply: lnkd.in/eEe2cr3F

I'm calling on @willforster.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and other @libdems.org.uk who are still on X to follow the lead of politicians of all colours, Govt departments, and everyone else who is leaving because they do not want to be associated with child pornography and toxic behaviour.

"Now can anyone tell me what Mummy asked me to do before she went upstairs?" "Umm, I can't remember" "hmm, no, neither can I..." - only one of the speakers here was a child 😂

The hilarity in the department WhatsApp discussing snow day, one member down the road in Nottingham has almost zero snow where he is 😂

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss sleep. Maybe one day.
