Today I found out I got 68% on my Masters dissertation 🥹 just 2% off distinction level, so just a little wait to see if I get a merit or distinction overall (will be very happy either way!) Feeling incredibly proud of myself! 2 years of hard work has paid off 🥹

My annual birthday card teacher tip! I always give each child in my class a card on their birthday! Today I got 28 cards for €4 on card factory! Just think it’s a sweet personal touch that always makes the children feel special ☺️

Makes me laugh when the children repeat things you say as a teacher. Today another teacher pointed out that the class next to us were talking during assembly. A boy from my class turned to me and said “well that’s very disappointing”… wonder where he’s heard that 🤔👀😂

I am currently on a flight from Saudi back to the UAE. At 6:05pm (Iftar) the man sat next to me gave out dates to everyone sat around us and then also started pouring coffee into small cups for everyone. Sometimes it’s small acts of kindness that make a big impact 💚
