Day 273: A Full September
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 […]

Day 272: We Can Be Heroes…
…if only we could play it. Tonight saw the debut of the finished version of David Bowie’s Heroes for brass band. It sounds great on the computer through Sibelius. Not so good in the band room. A few reasons why, poor tuning, bad intonation, strange bass playing… all sorts. I’m convinced it can work well. […]

Day 271: Two 1st Birthdays
The majority of today was spent celebrating the first birthday of two of our friends’ children. We had a lovely time in good company eating buffet and cake. What more could a Saturday hold?! That took up most of the day to be honest. The morning contained a couple of hours working on Heroes again […]

Day 269: A Productive One
Work today was good. Had my usual Thursday afternoon for planning, preparation and assessment time (PPA) after a Literacy lesson and a Numeracy lesson in the morning. Actually they had some frustrations attached to them, which a relatively trivial and I’ve pretty much covered before. This afternoon, I worked on my list of jobs that […]

Day 268: RASH Education
Now, call me silly, but I’m not sure that the acronym RASH is the best for Relationship and Sexual Health Education… which is the now-preferred name for Sex Ed. The rationale behind that is to remove the emphasis from the sex bit – the thing that sends parents into panic mode (and almost understandably so) […]

Day 265: 100 to go
I’ve only just noticed that – 100 days left in this project and therefore the year. The first 100 posts flew by as well. Today has mostly been spent in front of the laptop working, preparing things for the week ahead. I also realised that I had one more document to make from the data […]

Day 262: Three Years Of Geocaching
Today marks the third anniversary of finding our first geocache. I can remember it very well. It had been raining heavily and we ended up tramping around some fields in Gomersal. I also remember that I was covered in mud too… I loved every minute of it. I think we ended up finding 5 that […]

Day 259: Cache Of The Day
Well, that was interesting… the thing I expected to happen today didn’t happen. I was all prepared as well. Anyway, work was good today. Plenty of fabulous things going on, nothing amazing but good, solid work. The highlight of the evening was a special geocache, one that reminds us both of why we do this […]

Day 258: A Working Sunday
All I’e done today is work. Believe it or not, I feel a little behind in things already after only two weeks of teaching. Things get a little more hectic this week as I have a student teacher working alongside me in their induction to the school – she will be teaching on and off […]
