#Kindness One little change

Meet Michael, today's school snowman and the pride of Y6. Made from all of the snow that could be gathered from our KS2 yard and also most of the mud. #outdoorplay

Nice stroll around Durham for what I hope is not the last Lumiere

The families at my school really warm my heart sometimes. I said that a grandparent could pick some cooking apples from the school tree and she came back today after the summer with a gift of crumble 😋 #kindnessrules

Me watching the euros...

Great day at the Durham Brass Festival enjoying the tunes 👌🎶🎺

Must be the start of the summer holidays.... Happy end of term, everyone 🎉 It may have started raining the second I walked out of school (after being gloriously sunny all day) but there is still sunshine in my heart! #6weeks

Scenes in North Tyneside yesterday. Not often holiday weather comes this far north. #OneDayLikeThis

Absolutely shattered. The hamster wheel is really spinning right now... 🤪😴 A glimmer of joy at this afternoon's KS2 brass concert, though 🎺🎶

Joyful June - Day 1: Decide to look for what’s good every day this month actionforhappiness.org/joyful-june #JoyfulJune

"We could help children find patterns in language use which they could adopt and adapt, in order for them to find ‘voices’ they can use for themselves." We mustn't forget to foster joy in (non-timed) reading activities and grappling with rich mathematical challenges, too. #joyfullearning #edusky

"Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." - Henry David Thoreau.

The BSL during Finland was sensational #Eurovision

It's Denmark for me, but like Germany's entry, too, and love our UK entry #Eurovision25

Happy Eurovision Final day..!

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” Henry James Kindness has the potential to influence a moment, a mood, a day… Kindness is free. Kindness matters. 🧡 #kindness #positivity #gratitude

Kindness. First and foremost.

Finally made it to the end of the week. Cheers to all Headteachers who give their all to their schools #eduskyprimary #headteachersuk

First Ofsted Inspection as a Headteacher now done. Can't believe this was a 4-day week and isn't even over yet! Looking forward to sleeping better on a Sunday night 🤪😊

Meaningful May - Day 4: Send your friend a photo from a time you enjoyed together actionforhappiness.org/meaningful-may #MeaningfulMay

I've done a school assembly for VE day. Lots to discuss with children about why we celebrate events from 80 years ago and asking can we learn any lessons from history? #NoOutsiders #Belonging #VEday no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/05/ve-d...

Castles and cakes, today. Sleepy vibes 👌

Happy Miss Congeniality Day #ThePerfectDate

Lunch at The Cluny, Newcastle, today with an uplifting appearance from Tunde 👌🎶👏

Not a bad Easter Sunday. Hot cross bun breakfast, Easter Egg Escape Room shenanigans, a drink in the sun and the F1. Hope you have all had a lovely day, whatever your traditions may be.

It’s an oldie but might still be a goodie! bit.ly/InFGr As it’s the final leg to #SATs time I’m resharing my #grammar one pagers. I used them as part of teaching, homework & revision. The children liked the simplicity! #education #Year6

Love being able to spend more time outdoors (with a little help from the heater). So good for the soul 😊

Celebrated the final day of my first term as Headteacher with the Easter Bunny #hoppingmad

Sounds good to me on the final day of term. Might have to join in with the egg hunt... 🐣
