The rush of the school day can often lead to skipped meals or a last minute binge on refined sugary snacks. You know the feeling too well. We will hunt for anything in that staff cupboard that will give us that little boost we need to get through the last hour of the school day.

​I noticed that eating these types of foods became a habit of mine. This  caused my energy levels to crash and left me feeling worse than before!

But it doesn’t have to be this way! Super-foods are all the craze at the moment! The internet has tonnes of quick recipe and snack ideas for a busy lifestyle. Check out these seven superfood snacks for your teacher lunchbox!

​We encourage students to be their best possible selves. Let’s do the same!  

​Like all professions teaching has its ups and downs. It can become easy to forget the reasons why we chose the job in the first place. When you come home after a day of work and nothing went according to plan, you begin to question if you are really making a difference to the young minds in your class!   This week I have collected some of my favourite teacher movies that remind me of why I chose this path. I found that these films really helped me get back in touch with my personal teaching philosophy because I felt I could relate to the struggles, triumphs and ideals of these teachers. Through their determination and understanding these teachers gave their students a sense of empowerment and ability to think for themselves.
 Here are the top five teacher movies that will remind you of why you love what you do!  

It's no mystery that a healthy teacher is a happy teacher. Happy teachers are calmer, more effective, and are an integral part of maintaining a positive classroom environment. I've found that when I eat healthy and nutritious food, it helps me go into a positive frame of mind, and the kids seem calmer around me too. It took me a while to notice it, but now I truly believe that kids feed off your energy! So if you are tired and need a healthy energy boost, these yummy brownie bliss balls are the perfect guilt-free teacher treat!

The recipe for these healthy brownie bliss balls is easy to make, can be made in advance, and can be kept in your bag!  Everyone might enjoy them in the teacher lounge too if you dare to share.
