Ep 22: The End Of The School Year
The school year is (basically) over (for most people...)! This week, we have a chat about the end of the school year, and all of the mayhem that comes with Summer 2 (the last half-term before the summer holidays). We talk about how 'winding down' is a massive myth, reflect on transition day with our new classes & Hayden even has another of his weekly bird-inspired stories. We can't believe the year is coming to an end, but the podcast will march on! Thanks for listening.

Ep 21: Emily Weston: Transition, Reading & A Couple Of Clumsy Stories!
The longest EVER episode of Teach Sleep Repeat is here and ready for you to devour! We speak to Emily Weston (primaryteachew on Twitter) about a LOT of different topics. Emily has a passion for reading, teaches a mixed year 5/6 class and worked in a secondary school as a transition teacher, helping year 6 children make the huge leap to secondary school. We talk about everything from controversial books to how Emily is, possibly, the clumsiest teacher to ever set foot in a classroom. We had great fun with this one and hope you do too. You can skip straight to 21:13 where Emily comes in, but before that Hayden has ANOTHER bird story, Dylan mangles his toe, and we share a Toxic story from one of our dear listeners.

Ep 20: Why Are Teachers STILL Striking?
Our first ever podcast episode was called "Why Are Teachers Striking?" and we released it back in February. Fast forward almost half a year and teachers are STILL striking. Why? Is it justified? Should strikes affect things like sports day, transition days, end of school performances? What effect is the cost of living having on the profession? Buckle in for a ranty one! Please get in touch with us if you have any stories you want us to share on the podcast, of even if you just want to say hi.

Ep 18 | Should Teachers Use AI When Writing Reports? | Teach Sleep Repeat Podcast
Welcome back to another episode... Yes... It's just us two this week! We dive into the hot topic of using Artificial Intelligence as a teacher, especially in helping to write end of year reports. We did a BIG poll to find our teachers' opinions across the board and we look at both sides of the argument, before coming down strongly on one side. We loved this one, and hope you do to!
