Staff Room!!!

[ScienceTeacher]

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.

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

I also love teaching PSHE.

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

Coconut is the current favourite.

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

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

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

But some barsard nicked my

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

I buy my boys from here

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 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?

Where do people get these stampers from?

I am secondary, and bloody hard nut secondary at that but they still love a sticker or stamp. My year 7s are working like trojans at the moment so I order them some Noddy stickers.

ooh I love geography, can I have one icod?

I need to go and do my marking but really cannot be bothered.

My sixth formers used to fight over who go the Mrs Bish sez well done stamper

Stickerfactory.com does stickers and stampers

And other stuff, tiz good

I need to go and do my planning for tomorrow at least. Just can't raise the energy.

My Yr 11s worked hard last week (for once!) and their reward was to listen to The Verve for 10 minutes. I suspect they would have liked stickers better though! I am also "hard nut secondary" - and your Freudian slip made me howl with laughter Twinset, sorry!

I'm planned for the week, tidied the house today, took the kids for a swim, mowed the lawn and we have home made shepherds pie in the oven for tea.

I need a sticker that says' you shat miracles today!'

I once had some wristbands and doorhangers that we bought with the remnants of department budget and they went down really well.

my classes would love these
