A bit of a change to these posts as I move to ten lap summaries. This is down to a few reasons, the main one being a short lap around Monaco leading to 1m15-16s lap times. The weather looks good today and the mixed weather of yesterday appears to have gone. Here’s how the grid […]
So, here we are two months down the line from the start of this project. A few things have struck me lately. Firstly, far more people are reading this than I ever would have thought. The data I see shows me that but more telling are conversations I’ve had about the writing on here with […]
Today McLaren revealed the car they hope will lead them to their first World Championship since 2008. The car, looks neat and tidy with quite a few changes from their previous offering. The biggest change comes in drivers though with Lewis Hamilton having left the team that he has grown up with in order to try […]
Today was the first day back in school with children. However, I spent the morning working with staff in Key Stage 1 thinking about Numeracy – which was difficult for them, being the first day back and settling children down. But it was harder for my class, as I wasn’t there to do that with […]
Today was the first day back at work in 2013. As appears to have become the tradition, it was an INSET or training day. This one was held at a local hotel, as it is an opportunity for the ten schools in our partnership to meet up and work together. In case you were wondering, […]

And with the last four weeks before Christmas all based around carols, and many times since stopping rehearsals out playing carols, it was nice to be out of the house playing once again.

In that time, up until today, we had found 701 different caches around the UK, in Northumberland, Dumfries and Galloway, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Greater Manchester, Humberside, North Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and West Yorkshire. Geocaching is best described as a worldwide treasure hunt where fellow […]
When I saw the above headline, I had a Metal Sonic image in my head… however, since it is plastered all over the internet at the moment, as the related articles below show, there is some merit in this story which I saw on The Verge. A team of researchers thinks that small, spiked robots […]
This short film, released by Pixar consists of a young alien apparently taking an examination in abduction. He is attempting to snatch a sleeping bloke while an examiner watches over him. There are thousands of unlabelled switches ahead of the alien… enjoy! http://youtu.be/pY1_HrhwaXU
Throughout 2012 I followed a 366 project highlighting useful web 2.0 tools for classroom use. The updates became something I looked forward to throughout the days and weeks and I eventually became hugely jealous that this person had managed to make time to develop such an excellent way of exploring the internet. This planted seeds […]
