Staff Room!!!

It was suggested on another thread that we should have a staff room, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and start one.

Shall we introduce ourselves?

I teach Science (Physics A-level and GCSE Chemistry plus the usual general science in KS3, and also KS3 Geography). I work in a small girls' independent school. I started this job in September having spent two years in contract and supply. This was a getting back to teaching after an 8-year maternity leave.

I am a mum to five children from 16 (gcse!) TO 5.

I have one of those three part stampers, one part says self assessed, one part say target met = 1 merit and the other says excellent homework.

Hi MB are you offering to make the coffee?

Oh God what a Freudian slip that will teach me to post on a thread about sex clubs and the staffroom at the same time. I do of course mean I buy my bits from here.

I buy my boys from here

Billy, just don't sit in that corner seat, and you owe for the coffee subs!

You can buy a stamper that says 'Self assessed work'

Mine is worn to a nubbin, I can tell you!

My kids also love praisepadz much cheaper than certificates which I save for more special occasions.

I love the idea of scratch and sniff stickers. WIll look into those.

twinsetandpearls · 05/05/2008 17:24

My classes will do anything for a scratch and sniff sticker.

I also love teaching PSHE.

Hello, can I come into the staffroom? Do I have to bring my own mug?

hercules1 · 05/05/2008 17:21

Btw were you thanking me for the hug??

hercules1 · 05/05/2008 17:21

Yes, I completely agree. If we have to do writing I get the kids to use postits.
