“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on Earth – and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up – that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross – at Chinnor, England
Hi - is CineSational showing today April 14 9pm? Or later this week? Thanks #AskUniversal
I thought @jamieoliver did an amazing job 👏🏻 on @BBCr4today eloquently articulating the current & worsening situation with school meals, health inequality, obesity & how these can perpetuate wider social disadvantage. As both a sociology teacher & a parent, it struck a chord.
Hi @FitbitSupport How do I go about requesting a refund authorisation number to return a brand new Versa 2? I am in the UK and it was bought through @Vitality_UK. Thanks.
I’m not sure I understand why @acer_trust has decided that their schools must pause the use of social media during this period of mourning. We will now miss out on updates / photos of students away on residential visit this week, which is a real shame.
Another ‘back to school’ dream…arrived in the room to do virtual parent meetings but had no laptop! 😱 Running around trying to find a computer, then it wouldn’t load or connect to the internet. I was 40 mins late logging on and parents were shouting at me… #teacherlife
‘Back to school dream’ - already! Yr 8 cover for Head…seating plan chaos, back page of test paper missing, 40+ kids across 2 classrooms, scribbled answers already on tests & then they all leave w/tests before I can collect them in for marking😱
18 yrs & STILL the same dream…😂
A few highlights from Morocco - I climbed a mountain, helped build a school room, camped, visited a Kasbah, saw camels & goats in a tree, ate tagine, wandered the souks, sweated in 40+ degrees, drank sweet mint tea, made friends with locals, went to a palace, slept on rooftops…
Morning @British_Airways I’m still waiting to hear back about a claim for onward travel submitted on 11 April. Live chat confirmed it was in process on 11 June but I’m still waiting. Any updates please? I have a case number I can share via DM if this is best contact? Thanks
STILL waiting for a refund for a @British_Airways flight which they cancelled on 3/4/22. Adds insult to injury - not only was the flight home cancelled whilst I was abroad and no reasonable alternative offered, but I’ve now been out of pocket for a month. Not good enough, BA.
STILL WAITING….48 days have passed since my flight was cancelled and I requested a refund…😡 @British_Airways Is there ANYTHING I can do to speed this up?!?
This week I…
Welcomed a new Year 12 head student team
Said farewell to fantastic Year 13s
Watched Y12 young enterprise team make candles after school
Saw my Y12 class work in exam conditions without me even in the lesson
Heard how Y13 have arranged prom so we’ll
I ❤️ my job
Was eating lunch alone in school canteen & a y7 boy approached with his tray & said ‘Miss, I see you’re on your own today. I’d like to join you for lunch & we can chat whilst we eat’. At the end he says ‘we must do this again, Miss’. On a stressful day he was a moment of joy!😊
A powerful message - nicely played, sirs!

Today’s line up - Meeting, present assembly, meeting, attend webinar, meeting, teach, teach, (lunch?), teach, teach, meeting…and whatever else today might chuck in as an extra surprise 😂 #SLT #teaching Will need my @hub_punch fix at 6pm for sure!!
Well done and thanks to @MetMattTaylor for the important and timely reminder to take a breather and pause to remember and appreciate the beauty still in the world despite the awful images on our screens 🌅🌌🏞🌄
