So, here goes. I want to begin 2016 by catching up on the blogging I didn’t do last year. What better place to begin than by looking at January 2015?! A staff meeting in January saw some willow art work being made. Below you can see a ring (slightly egg shaped), a fish and a […]
I have plans to review my year of posts in the coming days. This blog has been about my day to day life. It has focussed on me. My life, my thoughts, my feelings. Things I do, things I love, things I enjoy. It hasn’t necessarily been thrilling reading at times, I’m well aware of […]
I hadn’t planned for today to be quite as wimple as it turned out to be. The morning consisted of a rehearsal at church for our carol concert – an behemoth of an event that is taking forever to get through – only to be told half way through that I was being taken out […]
Today was a normal day at school – although I was convinced it was Thursday for the majority of it (never a good things as I don’t teach Thursday afternoons…) The afternoon has been taken up with firework safety lessons both yesterday and today. This is one of those things that’s vial to get […]
Seventy days left of the year. It’s flying by now. Today was interesting. Much of what happened today I can’t write about as it involves relationships with colleagues. It was a frustrating morning though and I think that sums up a portion of it. I had been given the morning to work with staff on […]
I simply can’t wait for this week to be over. I just feel that there’s just a huge amount to get done and not that much time to do it. Anyway, to today. It has flown by, yet again. The work at school is interesting at the moment. My relationship with my class is developing […]
I’ve now broken through the third of a year barrier. I keep saying it, but I am astonished at my staying power with this project. I’ve met me, I never finish anyth Today was a day for jobs. I tackled many of them, but I don’t really want to produce a list. Lists aren’t cool […]
I’d like to say that I’m looking forward to a normal week, but I’ve realised that such a thing does not exist. Mrs Pitts is away for a few nights this week meaning that I have sole responsibility for the cat. That could go well. Today, however, flew by with barely anything actually happening. I […]
Today has mainly been spent creating a spreadsheet for Mrs Pitts to help understand the results of the sample Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling test which is being rolled out to Key Stage 2 this summer. This examines 39 different aspects of, amazingly, grammar, punctuation and spelling. I’ve added a list of the different elements of […]
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
