Thank you!!

I was convinced I’d missed this by a mark so this email has been the best surprise 🥹🎓

Thank you so much!

This is quickly becoming my favourite activity when starting with a new class. Our canvases are now proudly displayed on the wall as a talking point for any visitors to our classroom. 😁✂️🖼️

Baking cherry scones today with a page by page recipe. They turned out great, not many made it to our school bags 🤭 👨🏼‍🍳

We made our own bird feeders and hung them up in our garden tree today. 🐦⭐️

We made donuts- from scratch! 😁 🍩 ⭐

Exploring different rides at theme parks and funfairs - with an impromptu classroom rollercoaster. We had a bash at making our own - some were loopy, super high and very colourful. Have a look to see where our rollercoaster cart ended up 😆 🎢

Settling in to our new class and routine. Today tallying up some points in prep for some carnival games 😜 we have also been taking turns, sharing and being super helpful. ⭐️

Fun day out to Briarlands Farm with our POD friends 🐮🐷⭐️

Wrote a chapter on ethics, then did the most unethical thing: wrote the whole thing while working full-time. MEd dissertation = GONE

Pupil very slowly opening fridge and peeking inside

Since last June, we’ve been encouraging one of our pupils to put her drink in the fridge instead of pouring it down the sink after reg (always with a giggle!). This week, she’s done it every day—now helping herself and drinking much more 👏🏼 ⭐

We have been writing some acrostic poems for a special upcoming day in the calendar ⭐ 🌺 @carrongrangesch.bsky.social

Today we made lasagne - we had to break up the mince, brown it off then layer each ingredient. It smelled amazing and tasted great, too! 👨🏼‍🍳 🍝 ⭐ @carrongrangesch.bsky.social

We have been out identifying different road signs. We were organising them by shape and will later look at what each category of shape means.
Our favourite was definitely the lollipop ladies! 🪧 ⭐ @carrongrangesch.bsky.social

Making the jump to Bluesky from… elsewhere. Hello 👋🏼
