Goals and Intentions for 2024

I am so ready to welcome 2024, what feels like a very needed fresh start. The end of 2023 felt hard, with me feeling a little down about work and life in general, as well as illness after illness taking me out. This year I am going to focus on slowing down and looking after myself, putting my time and effort where it matters most and taking steps to improve and enjoy life.

With the focus of well-being as a priority, my goals for 2024 are:

Personal (self-growth, health, fitness, well-being)

Little September Goals

I just love the crisp air, the cosy vibes and the many celebrations coming up at this time of year. As the final four months of the year approach, I really want to finish 2023 on a high so I’m focusing most of my goals around getting my life in order.

After six weeks off with very few plans I was very ready to get back into routine and fill my days. Having spent one week in Reception I already know that it was 100% the right decision for me to move year groups. For the first time in a long time, I am really enjoying my job and I'm feeling excited about having my own class, my own space and my own rules. When working in China I spent a lot of time in leadership which was so intense and drained every single ounce of energy I had, and working in a large Nursery team that wasn't quite on the same page as me last year didn't fill me with the excitement I had hoped. I am loving being able to implement my own ideas. Is my workload going to be more? It absolutely is! Is it worth it to enjoy my job? Absolutely! The week began with two INSET days, which alw
