Paul B

Not a fan of pop music at all, but Never Be The Same Again by Mel C is a tune. Enjoy your day

My first class at my current school school get their GCSE results today, good luck to all of them and I will happily take full credit for all of your success (despite teaching you when you were in Year 5!) #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

Exciting life update: got a new electric toothbrush today, £55 quid off at Tesco! Only when you get a new one do you realise how crap the old one was. Been brushing for 2 hours, teeth looking like o just got back from Turkey

Summer Holiday book haul so far, can’t go wrong with a 30p book sale at the local library for a few of them 🙂 #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

Back to school adverts should be banned from TV until August 20th at the earliest #EduSkyPrimary #UKEd

Told what I thought was a blinder of a joke in class the other day, about two of them sniggered.
What do you call swallowing when you’re at Nando’s? Peri-peristalsis.
Stupid kids #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

I like to think that Dua Lipa did long jump and is named after the advice she got from her Italian coach

Message to Tesco. It’s 5 weeks until the end of the school year and you haven’t *even* got your back to school section up yet. SHAME! SHAME ON YOU! Easter eggs were available in January, get your shit together… 😉 #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

It’s Varjak Paw by @whatsfsaid.bsky.social 🙂

I love it when kids magpie words and phrases from ages ago in the term and it catches you by surprise. In our Mayan stories, lots of ‘zigzag trees’ in the jungle ‘sway in the warm cinnamon breeze.’ 10 points if you know that reference! #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

The only way to arrange cakes in the staff room when it’s your birthday #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

Please say a prayer for our school photocopier who is apparently addicted to heroin 💉 Stay strong, buddy #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

On a mission to get reports written by the start of half term! I will not spend the week writing them, even if there’s a fire! 17 down (ish)… woof 😮‍💨

Discussing The Beatles in music today and asked the kids if they knew any of the members:
Child: ‘Mr B, I’m not sure, but wasn’t Ringo Star in the Wu Tang Clan?’

Ermmmm… 😆

Tried making pancakes for the boy this morning. Looked at the recipe, eyeballed all the measurements, bollocksed it! Apparently the measurements are important. Twat.

One week into the Easter hols and I have ‘built’ 2 ikea wardrobes, 2 ikea chest of drawers and 2 ikea beds. If the furniture came with swear jars, I would be skint #flatpack #twatpack

Was staring at it for hours, I hate that drip

New view and update: We are now at the ‘one person needs a piss so everyone needs a piss’ stage. Two hours after lights out, clockwork. Oh, it’s a radiator and chairs #UKEd #EduSkuPrimary

Ha ha, they never stood a chance! Bit different tonight, on a farm with 28 Year 4’s, a few cows and a donkey that loves to start braying at 4am. Lovely… 🥱

It’s school residential tonight, which means sitting in the corridor until everyone is asleep. Here is my current view (it’s a wall) #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

Lincolnshire Show is on the horizon and this year my Year 4s are entering with an Urban Garden made from recycled materials. Seeds planted this week and look at what the Site Manager made! All from pallets, legend! #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

What a week! I sometimes wonder if every job is as busy and as relentless as teaching; no matter how much you manage to get done there is always more to do 🤷🏼‍♂️ Time to recharge then back at it on Monday 👊🏼 #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

Great day at Waterstones Lincoln. Took the nipper to a story telling session and then got a signed copy of Hunt for the Golden Scarab SIGNED by @mglnrd.bsky.social and a load of badges! The kids will love it! #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

SENCo: Morning Paul, did you remember?
Me: Super 6 Football predictions? Yep, all sorted.
SENCo: No, the EHCP meetings and annual reviews this morning
Me: Shit…

#UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

I sometimes wonder what I would do if Descriptosaurus didn’t exist. Fab resource for quality writing ideas #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

One of my fave things to do in class is ‘pick or flick poetry’. Grab a copy of The Works, choose a child and ask them to either pick a page number or flick the pages and say ‘stop’: read whatever poem you land on #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

It’s hump day! (No, you grow up…) 3 down and 2 to go then it’s the gosh darn weekend! Hope everyone is having a fab week and smashing Term 3 #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary

Been wanting to get something off my chest for a while, so here it goes…
Hairy Maclary and Zachary Quack is the best book in the series, hands down.
Thanks for reading #UKEd #EduSkyPrimsry #pitterypattery

Same, mostly empty bottles… 😳

So far in 2025, I have mostly been loading and unloading the dishwasher. All the fun of the fair! #UKEd #EduSkyPrimary
