There were many many more to choose from but there would be far too many to put them all here! Sorry if your tweet didn't make it or if some people feature heavily - I've just picked a few of the best.
What #happyNQT100 has appeared to do is to help NQTs find the positives in every day, even on the days where it wasn't obvious. Here are some of the comments:
#HappyNQT100 was also great to see other people's achievements and daily highlights, a fab addition to the NQT community and support!
— History NQT (@historynqt2014) July 27, 2015
Going to blog my NQT highlights later but #HappyNQT100 is on the list - Rewarding to find a happy moment in a miserable teaching day!
— History NQT (@historynqt2014) July 27, 2015
#HappyNQT100 helped me focused on the +ve on a bad day, but also sometimes realise there are loads of +ves & I don't know which to choose!
— Alice McEnnerney (@Miss_McEnnerney) July 28, 2015
Some people even said they intend to carry on as it so was so positive. I'm so pleased that I could start something like this and see it grow and affect so many people. Wellbeing/work-life balance/stress relief - whatever you want to call it, is so important for teachers at all stages of their career, so why not start as you mean to go on?
So where does #HappyNQT100 go next? Despite not being an NQT myself any more I will be promoting #HappyNQT100 throughout the year and hoping to get lots of new NQTs on board, starting at whatever point they wish. I really believe that it's just the sort of boost NQTs need and helps you to build your support network. I'll also be speaking about it at PedagooHamps in September.
Take a look at #HappyNQT100 on twitter yourself if you need any more evidence!
Looks like we already have our next participant!
I've signed up, how many will join me and stick to it? HOME http://t.co/mrdzQCYExa #100happydays #happyNQT100
