GHS Connect #6 Monday 16 October
Mia's notes
5 days to go until a very welcome break for everyone!
We’ve been really fortunate with the weather this year, with a late Summer descending upon us, but after half term we will be certain to be fully in the throes of autumn gloom and darkness. This time of year can always have a big effect on people and so it’s always at this time that I tell people to please ‘pace yourself’.
Pacing oneself to me always means coming into work as normal but recognising that things will be harder at this time of year, with a reminder that although it is most certainly the hardest half term of the year (for me anyway), it will come to an end, and things will get better after Christmas. For me, pacing oneself is also about recognising that it’s okay to have an easier day each week and make a point of going home earlier rather than later, and it’s also okay to have the odd lesson where students are asked to peer assess or evaluate one another’s work rather than relying on our own marking all of the time.
The most important thing though, is to have a really great break over the half term and I hope everyone manages to do that.
On a completely different note, we look forward to welcoming Justine to the Pastoral Support Worker team after half term - we know she will be a great addition to the team!
Have a great week,
Mia
