Thursday 5th February - My office wall

This is a part of one of the walls in my office - it is a collection of some of the cards that I have been given over the years by students and staff. The earliest ones come from my first year of teaching, 13 years ago, and they go right up to one that I was given yesterday by one of the Deputy Head Teachers for doing him a favour.

There are also a couple of posters which advertise the bi-annual Religious Studies conference my department puts on for our sixth formers (16-18 yrs old) and some photos of my kids and also past colleagues who are still good friends.

The wall always cheers me up when I am having a bad day and reminds me that the job is really worth doing, even when doesn't always feel like it.
