Most of today was spent conducting the Morley And District Concert Band at a charity garden party in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Plenty of fun was had by all accounts and many nice things were said about the playing – even though a few things went awry in the middle… I think we got […]
Today was another good day at work. I’m slowly ramping up the difficulty of the tasks I’m setting and so far the majority of the class are sticking with me. I had to pull a few people along today though! All will be well. I think the summer holiday hasn’t helped – the majority of […]
In many ways today has been quite irritating. Geocaching are providing a souvenir every day in August – these are fairly rare and only come out on special days so this is an event people in the caching community are quite excited about. We began with a really easy geocaching find, GC435N5, Lady Laugh-A-Lot’s Kakuro. […]
Today we’ve wandered around Chester a lot – visited shops and seen sights. One of those sights was pebble dashed crash barriers between a road – because that’s the last thing you need when you’ve lost control of your car, exacerbating the damage with incredibly bumpy barriers. Anyway, these are the caches we’ve found today. […]
Most of today was spent in Chester Zoo. It’s a lovely place, worth visiting once in your life. Saw plenty of animals – the weather was pretty good so very little was hiding away. The jaguars were missing (the exhibition is called the Spirit of the Jaguar and that’s pretty much all we saw). The […]
So, what can I say about the last academic year? Well, in short, it’s been hard work. I’ve had responsibility for the Year 6 maths results – which I can safely say were the best the school has ever had (the only ones they’ve ever had, admittedly) – and a Year 5 class which I […]
Very little of anything happened today to be fair… preparations at work were going on for tomorrow’s sports day, we expected the Ofsted report to come through but that didn’t happen, the printing of signing of children’s reports was happening before they go out on Friday. It is very obviously the middle of the week. […]
Today was a lovely day. Most people at work were in a relaxed and calm mood after a hectic and difficult week. To celebrate the fact that we got through it, and as a little thank you to Mrs Pitts for her support, I took her out for the evening. Cocktails were on the agenda […]
This has been a very ordinary day. I’ve spent a large amount of time looking ahead at things in the future and not really living in the moment at all. That has made this very difficult. When I say looking ahead I mean these things in particular: What I’m going to be doing with my […]
Today I came home, via the garage after having a headlight bulb replaced, to find that the road outside our house has been dug up for the third time in an attempt to locate a gas leak. Now, my nose isn’t the best and I can’t really smell gas so I haven’t noticed a problem. […]
