Thank you, Mumsnet! Shall I start the introductions.
Hello all, I'm a Secondary English NQT.

Primary teacher, maths specialist, year 4/5.

Come on...have another biscuit! Put it in your pigeon hole for later.

Hello! Guess what I teach.

PE!

Only joking!

another secondary biologist here, and always of endos name
can i be the rough version?

Primary here, only working part time atm, rest of the time I do special needs TA work, but applying for full time positions and hoping I get somerthing soon!

Ok...biologists in same place...any ideas on teaching plant hormones without chalk and talk (aqa - auxins in phototropism and geotropism).

I find it dull. Kids find it confusing. I'm crap at doing it. Post on my 'I hate lesson planning' thread to avoid hijacking this one if you want.

Ta very muchly.

Sorry Miss, I left my books in my locker.

Prep school Head of Classics, 5th year in teaching but only 2nd year in Prep school (was Senior before that).

I steal other people's mugs.

Things that have annoyed me today.

Horrible Y8. Seem to have every difficult kid in the scholl in that class. All very chatty

Y11 applying nail varnish. when challenged replied "Yeah yeah whatever, just let me finish!"

SEF

State of the school IT system, but that's ongoing

Haunted - have posted on other thread.

Secondary MFL in a Sixth Form College. Second year on this gig; was in poncey private for ten years before that.

My mug came from Ikea. The staff room is light years away from our building, so we lurk together in our MFL den and have a v efficiently run milk kitty.

Hello! Primary Head with my own 'Boss' mug. Anyone who nicks it can have my paperwork, too!

Primary Music here. Was class teacher first, now cover PPA in four different schools. My 19th year of teaching ...

How lovely- I am a music teacher too but as co-ordinator in a junior school- I would love to teach just music...

Could someone write me a note for tomorrow please. I've enjoyed my weekend and don't want to go back

I also need a note. My bowels are misbehaving and have been for the past solid half hour. I haven't finished my weekly plans yet either and I just want to go to bed with a hot water bottle!

You don't really mean a solid half hour do you TwllBach?

It's only coss yer nervouse...you'll be OK once yer in school. I'll get a friend to meet you at the door.

Unfortunately it has not been a solid half hour, no

Will I be allowed to sit next to them all day?

I can't promise anything about sitting next to friends all day because you might be in high school and have to change groups but you can check in with me at lunchtime to tell me how you're doing. OK?
