What a night 🥹💗
Very scary having to talk in front of a room full of adults rather than a hall full of children.

On the bus yesterday caught one of them reading this ❤️📚
Instant hit of nostalgia and excited for the adventure she’s about to go on.

And they wonder why we struggle to recruit in the areas where we need school staff the most 🙄

If dark, spooky tales that send chills down your spine, invoke a creeping sense of dread and transport you to a cold misty night are your thing then you will love this.

Like a series of unfortunate events?

I’ve definitely wondered how my professional life managed to feel like such a glorious mess in recent years.

And how we’ve managed to survive it. I’m not saying it’s magic, but ….

Favourite #WorldBookDay moment ...
Asked a hall full of children if any of them knew what a Dalek was ... girl RAN up to the stage and announced ... it's a small onion but strong. Cut it and you'll cry.

Me: .... thinking ...
Me: .. still thinking ...
Finally ...
... Garlic.

Awwh that’s so lovely! Thank you Ian.
I couldn’t be more proud of the resilience our children and staff have shown throughout it all.

Meanwhile at the EYFS and KS1 temporary building, on the playground of our old school building, it is definitely feeling like spring has sprung 🌸🌷

Every morning our KS2 children gather in the closed down church.

That’s where we wait for the buses that take us to our temporary building on the high school tennis court.

I love it when I see them choosing to use that time to squeeze in a couple more chapters of their book.

How cool is this message from Georgia Stanway! It’s for the girls ahead of the Furness schools tournament on Monday.
The matches take place on the Peace Pitch at Barrow Celtic Juniors which is one of less than 100 pitches that are part of the Children’s Football Alliance.
Thank you Georgia ❤️⚽️
