As with other months, we’ve been quietly working on filling up our geocaching calendar. Today, we filled up September, giving us six months now with no gaps:
This leaves 111 days left to fill, just over 30% of the year. The winter months, though, tend to be more difficult as the nights draw in quickly after work and the chances of caching are limited. We have saved a few of the closer to home finds for this, although we don’t have enough to fill it entirely at the moment.
Work today contained assessments – a maths test and a reading one. I’ve only marked one of the maths tests and it shows up a fair few areas to work on. The diagnostic part of assessment is the whole point of doing them; you can help children more if you know what they can’t do rather than what they can. Anyway, some clear trends have appeared already.
Tomorrow, quite a lot of teachers are on strike over pay and conditions. I will not be one of them.
