Half term is for my babies and my babies only! I can’t cope with how quickly they grow up. Being a mum has added a lovely aspect to my teaching practice. Everyday we get to teach someone’s whole world. How lucky are we??

I may have taken the staff Cluedo game and little bit too seriously. It reminded me of how fun it is to play and I can’t wait to see the students in the classroom tomorrow for lots of practical starters. Woohoo…. Back in school without being pregnant. 🎉🤣
