Day 204: 195 Days Are Over, Bring On The Rest
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 […]

Day 153: The Half Term Has Ended
The final few weeks of term are here. It has been an interesting year so far. I’ve done huge amounts in school – it’s almost hard to remember everything. But so far it’s all been based around maths, twitter and ICT; my roles have developed a lot in those three areas. Maths has seen me […]

I provide the detailed breakdown of two colleagues from Years 3 and 4. Throughout these you can see that fractions is a […]

Photos & Stuff
I have added more photos to the gallery… there are now pictures from my visit to a tram museum, my graduation ball (and from my friend Emma’s night) and from my actual graduation… if you wish to see them go here. I’ve hardly been posting recently, have been concentrating on other things… namely this site. […]
