Fascinating scenes today - a Halloween flying ant day! Scores of them, although all suicidal it appears. Happy flying ant day, or happy halloween, to all who celebrate either

A great first day back. Really felt the love from colleagues and students, so many well-wishes and cuddles 😊 But oof am I tired this evening!! #edusky

So, Monday it all begins again. And I will be using a walking stick, having missed all of staff training week recovering from surgery. But I'm excited to return, not apprehensive, because my school is awesome 😊 #edusky

The opportunity and ideas presented here are lovely. Not sure about how much I agree with taking away too many exam/GCSE courses as they lead to flexibility later in life and I believe each offer different skills rather than just knowledge retrieval, but I love the nano course ideas in this.

#edusky can anyone help me to find some trampoline training for our PE teachers please? We've been trying for about 2 years and not managed it!

I'm not ready for penalties ⚽

Love Lucy Bronze! #mathstoday

Imagine dragons were AMAZING 🤩 Next, oasis!

I will be uploading a series on how to use the Casio fx-CG100 onto this playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Please share! #ALevelMaths #FurtherMaths @casioeducationuk.bsky.social

In #mathstoday I'm quite sad. After 5 years with a gorgeous class they had their final IGCSE Further maths exam today and apparently it was just so hard, way way harder than any past paper. They are utterly devastated, and so am I

Oversight of the school calendar isn't something any leader puts in their bio or talks about at conferences, but its impact shouldn't be underestimated and I've got a lot of satisfaction from trying to do a decent job of it. You certainly notice when it's not done well.

In #mathstoday my 12yo and I just did some estimation and volume to see how it was possible for 250,000,000 bees to fit in one truck. We're still debating how they would load them in (no, we don't want sensible answers, we prefer imagining lining them up and counting them in)

Procrastination can be a major threat to independent study. Despite having the desire and the strategies, many students (and adults) struggle to get started. We can help reduce this risk by pre-empting procrastination. ↓

We have a few jobs going at my lovely school in Marbella, if anyone fancies teaching in the sun! #EduSky #MathsToday www.tes.com/jobs/employe...

Minecraft movie with the boy tonight, was actually a lot of fun and giggles

I'm giving this a go since everyone seems to be here now! I have taught Maths and Further for 8 years in a sixth form college. I'm looking to share ideas and resources with other Maths teachers.

And so half term is over, feeling both long enough and far too short at the same time. Thankfully, it's going to be raining this week, making it much easier to not mind being at work. Until I remember 'wet breaks' (shudder)

Bloxham looking tasty! #utmp

I think I peaked way too soon for the darts final, maybe I forgot about the hour difference! Far too giddy #LoveTheDarts

Still angry, 4 hours later 🤬🍊 #utmp

Tinsel Tess mode - activated! Holidays are finally here 🥳🎄

I have this, it's such a strange thing. I used to play regularly and even won a trophy but now I just can't throw at all, my hand won't let go. Thankfully I was far too rubbish to be professional!

This 4 day weekend is so perfectly timed, every year I feel grateful for a little break at this hectic time to catch up and recharge

We're officially on @bsky.app! 🤝 🍊 #UTMP

I love ant puns, if you do too then this thread will make your day 🐜

Some fantastically bad graphs, charts and diagrams #mathschat

Oh my, I can't even describe my giddiness at this!

It's finally here! What a day to be alive

A fun thread, some classics but some that were new to me!

Had a lovely short break in Tenerife, chasing some sun. Exactly what was needed, feel refreshed and ready for the run through to Christmas

Finished the half term with an international trip to the med cup football tournament in Verona. Absolutely fantastic few days, with every range of emotions and great times making lifelong memories for those students. What a great job! #teacherlife

Today is watching the cricket finals, which translates to enjoying beer in the sun and trying not to get killed by a ball

Today is African Penguin Awareness Day, so I'd like to make you aware of this clip of three African penguins taking a little stroll in the streets of Simon's Town, South Africa

Just finished season 1 of Only Murders In The Building #omitb and I can honestly say that it was a lot of fun, would definitely recommend

Love this 👌🏼

Excellent weekend, including food, beer, live music, cinema and good friends. Feeling utterly chilled, even in this heat!

The number of times I wish my dog had a cellphone so I can text him something is…. A lot.
