Day 134: The Boring End Of Dullington Town
I’ve spent the day and evening immersed in tests. Thrilling. Spending most of the day in silence isn’t something I’m used to being a teacher – a lot of my normal day is spent discussing all kinds of things and asking questions, of course! Over the past two days I’ve administered six different assessments. The […]

Day 133: A Twelve Hour Day
Another busy day. Lots going on today at work. I signed in at 07:30 and left at 19:55 – over twelve hours of teacherly goodness. There’s little point coming home between school and governor meetings so I tend to stay and get jobs done. Little tweaks to the website, short pieces of paperwork, those kind […]

Day 132: A Short Update
I’ve already written about today’s Spanish Grand Prix and produced graphs of standings in the two championships. The race was ok, nothing special. A very tactical race – the only problem with that is they tend not to be very exciting to watch. Sure, there were 82 pit stops, but that’s too many really. Some […]

Day 131: Traffic Irritation
The majority of today was spent getting ready or playing at Golcar Lily Day with Grange Moor Band. After a late get up, I watched the first two sessions of qualifying. In between parts two and three, we set off on the epic journey to Golcar – a more remote place you cannot find within […]

Day 130: A Spreadsheet Was Completed
Today I finally finished work on a spreadsheet of jobs for the TES. February 14th was the date the list was created, so some 105 days later the thing is finally ready to be sent back to them. The job involved locating, downloading, reviewing, and recategorising, 952 resources on their website. These were ones they […]

Day 128: The Unimpressive Moon Landing
Today at work was good overall. We have constant issues with ICT over in our little hut, and teaching it is always a little daunting. However, opening one file from the shared server on each of 22 laptops really shouldn’t have been the utter chore it turned out to be. The task I had given […]

Day 126: A Bank Holiday Work Day
I’ve done a fair bit today. Began with a list of jobs to get through and succeeded in all but 4 of them. As a result, I have nothing whatsoever to write about. I just want to point you in the direction of the Geocaching Statistics page which has appeared in the drop down menu. […]

Day 124: A Look At History
Once more, not much has happened today. I’ve done a bit more work for the TES on retagging PSHCE resources – I still have 173 out of 951 to do, 18%. I have to get that done soon. I can see much spare time being given to it. Outside of this, we began the day […]
