Time period ended on Friday for me and I now have 5 weeks to recuperate (and, sadly, make amends for the huge quantity of pupil timetabling work I did not get time to do earlier than the tip of time period). This 12 months was unbelievably brutal. To these of you who contacted me by means of Twitter or e-mail in the summertime time period and did not get a reply: I am extremely sorry. My position acquired completely uncontrolled for some time there, and I didn’t carry on prime of something outdoors of labor. I am hopeful that issues will enhance subsequent 12 months.

I can not wait to get my very own classroom again. I am positive many academics really feel the identical. On the primary day of the vacations I took my daughters into college (at all times a deal with for them!) and so they helped me filter all of the garbage left in there by the varied nomadic academics who used it over the course of the 12 months. I am a lot happier now it is all sorted. I am not fussy about fairly shows however I do like a splash of color to brighten up a dreary room, so I used Sarah Carter’s maths symbols show to cowl a clean board (no backing, borders or laminating so it was a 5 minute job – and I am not bothered that it’s kind of wonky!). I’ve moved the desks away from the wall to cease college students ruining it.
After an exhausting 12 months which has left me feeling completely defeated, spending an hour getting ready my classroom has cheered me up and made me sit up for September.
