Happy holidays! Probably my favorite stop-motion from the past few years. Really enjoyed creating this one.

She is starting early but resisting the chocolate. For now. Happy Jólabókaflóð.

Merry Christmas everyone. Found this on FaceAche:

A little selection of my favourite words for the season. Some beautiful, others potentially necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. twowords2.page.link/play

It’s “the holidays still haven’t started yet” Sunday. My fave day of every school holiday.

Our school bus drivers being hilarious. 😂 (Photo stolen from my colleague) Merry Christmas everyone. Have a lovely break. 🤶 🎄 🎁 ☃️

Also just got this email. Brilliant tasks, updated. 🫶🏻

Anyone support with edexcel decision?

I am sooooooo happy to be teaching decision again. I adore it. 💛

So…Burgundy book changes indicate that you should get full TLR or a specified reduction in role from September. Can any PT HoDs tell me if they know if they are going to get full TLR from September (or already are getting?)

Today in #ALevelMaths my 2025 A-Level Calculated colouring went up on my website. Feel free to use :) blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/12...

Festive dot puzzles. A form-time favourite of mine. Thanks to @gareth-metcalfe.bsky.social for the idea a couple of years ago! mathsbot.com/puzzles/dotP...

Went to the Big City. Saw some Maths.

Crying at race across the world. What a final. Happy with that result too.

Kids are done. Staff are done. Illness everywhere. Attendance plummeting. I say we just call it a day tomorrow. What says you?

Does anyone know if there is a way to sync sign-off email signatures on Microsoft across different devices? I currently have to update separately on iPad, PC and phone and it’s a nightmare.

You don’t get this kind of attention to detail from the river devil. #shopindie 💜💜 When @bertsbooks.bsky.social announced this of the winner of their Berties award for 2025 I was sucked in by the blurb and had to get a copy.

#mathstoday was all about the GCHQ Challenge. Absolutely thrilled that one of my Year 8s card designs made the launch video. Super proud.

I gave this to Y10 to finish off a lesson on expanding brackets. No calculator allowed. #MathsToday

Maths teachers: if you're looking for an end of term Christmas lesson, there's an A4 pdf of the Christmas card linked from mscroggs.co.uk/blog/121

So lovely to watch Stephen Frayne at @bradford2025.co.uk. Felt like a total privilege to see him in such an intimate venue. Breathtaking. ✨ 🃏

✨ A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. 🌅 #thread

This.

It’s time! The Bert's Books Secret Santa. Sign up by 30th November, and pick a book you'd like to gift to someone else. I'll work out the best person to send that book to - and in return you'll get a book to unwrap too! bertsbooks.co.uk/secret-santa

I’m not sure when my Scrooge quotient reduced but this appears to be happening:

PSA. The sunrise alarm I keep being asked about is a Guardian top Black Friday pick. Will be the best £30 you spend if you usually struggle through winter wake-ups.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

Modern life is: chasing delivery companies for orders that they put in undisclosed, ridiculous places. How did we come to accept such shoddy service? Yesterday: new air fryer? Yeah I’ll just dump that on your doorstep in full view of the road, mate If anyone knows where my loo roll is please DM

I keep freaking myself out with these twos. 😂😂

Getting the Secret Santas ready… here’s the first box!

Maths lesson material

❤️ Love this ❤️ @mathforge.org has done what I’ve never been organised enough to do myself, and catalogued every #geometrypuzzle I’ve ever posted on social media. It looks amazing!

Fri: Drove to work in horrific rain. Realised my commute was, in reverse, the run that Sara Cox had left to do. The thought of that run, let alone that run in that rain, let alone that run in that rain after 4 identical days makes me feel sick. What a woman. Please donate if you haven’t 💪🏻

Just witnessed a van hit a car in a car park, inspect the horrific damage and then drive off. Now in contact with the owner of aforementioned car. Hoping karma exists because I have just ruined a van driver’s Saturday for the sake of honesty & accountability. Absolute bugbear of mine. Div.
