Just so you know, the title is the answer to yesterday’s question. All was ok. Not great but ok. I have learnt that I need to think less and rely more on my instincts when teaching. That is a big step as I over-think pretty much everything. Most things. Still, plenty of good points came […]
Fifty days to go in this project. I’m still, I always be will be, surprised at how well this is going. It might not always be the most interesting thing to read, but it’s been written every day… Today a disaster occurred. The projector in my room failed. Now, there are rumblings in the education […]
Today was spent putting finishing touches to the Grange Moor Brass Band site. And I’ve done nothing else at all really. Lots of TV was watched while doing this, catching up on things on the Sky+ box from a long while ago. Dullness, I know. The adventure to get a cache was quite interesting. I […]
Most of today was spent in school, dithering over small decisions. Most of my classroom is back how I want it to be. Tables are ready with new pencils, whiteboard markers, rubbers, rulers and glue. My desk is tidier than it will ever be in the next year. Generally, it’s all starting to become a […]

The thing is, I’ve never really been very good at not having structure to my days – clearly work provides that. In fact a school day provides the perfect structure for me […]
I don’t really know where today went – we did a few jobs around the house, went to Grange Moor band room to pick up some stuff for a job tomorrow, made a visit to an ice cream parlour, found a cache then… well, nothing much. The photo below is another ice cream parlour I […]
I had a great thing to write about, but then my mind got full of other things, so this is what you’re getting tonight… Not so much of a busy day at work – the usual things. The maths lessons at the moment are the busiest they will ever be. Today we looked at mean, […]
This is very familiar to me, both at home and at work. Wires everywhere. So, what about making it look like this? After picking up a new desk, Seandavid010 sought out to solve he and his wife’s messy wire problem. He vaguely remembered reading about someone else using rain gutters to win the battle against […]
