I can’t tell you the answer to that question at this moment in time. I feel… prepared. I am being observed teaching tomorrow. It is a maths lesson. Now, in theory, this shouldn’t be something that I should have a problem with. I have a great working relationship with my observer, I know what I […]
A short update tonight. another Governor’s meeting which means that I’m shattered. Just over 12 hours at work is not good for me at all. My day was a good one though – only 13 children to work with though as 8 of them were working at the local high school. That will lead […]
I can’t think of much that has happened today. It has flown by. I have resolved a few ICT things in school and learnt a lot about eyebrow waxing. I decided to clear the afternoon of lessons and work on listening skills with my class by playing some barrier games. The children showed me they […]
Tonight I have done nothing. We had a time set to meet up with friends at 7pm and, with them having small children, I sort of expected to be back in fairly quickly… still, I had a lovely time playing with Lego and generally being entertaining. It’s fun being with a 6 year old. The […]

Most of today was spent at a one year old’s naming ceremony and birthday party. I had never attended a naming ceremony before outside of a religion – I have been to Christenings though. As a service, it was very nice and it was lovely to be part of Esmé Mary’s official name giving! As a […]
How very bizarre… a big Lego bloke has washed ashore in Zandvoort, Holland. Slightly more bizarre is the reporters’ decision to liken it to the Trojan Horse story. Odd. [via Andrew Tatham]
The first in a semi regular series, everything looks better in slow motion, the cigarette lighter. Smoking may well be evil and cancerous. OK, no ‘may’ about it, it is evil and cancerous. But this video of a lighter in super slow motion is really quite interesting!
