Wednesday is quickly becoming a difficult day to manage. The nature of it – the staff meeting at the end of school, along with 5 different lessons – means that I generally have 3 or 4 sets of books to mark at the end of it. Today, I managed to get one set done during […]
This has been one of those days that has flown by. I’m not really sure why. I looked up at the end of work and it was nearly 6pm. I’m getting a little tired of being kicked out… tomorrow won’t be much different – with a long staff meeting and plenty of books to mark. […]
I don’t think I’ve written a blog with this title before – which is a surprise given the nature of my 366 question challenge. (Blog 15 was “how was your week?“) Anyway, there wasn’t a huge amount in my day to be honest. It was a normal Monday full of PPA, Read, Write, Inc and […]
Well today has been hard. There have been parts of today that I’ve hated: I’m not good at resting at the best of times, but I really couldn’t have been in front of a class today. My face is still swollen but the pain is manageable overall. I’ve taken fewer painkillers today and I do […]

The day has been busy but full of nothing that I can really talk about. I helped lots of people fix small problems today, which is a lovely feeling. I took a few photos of children working for some displays around school. I taught a few lessons. I had a meeting at the end of […]
I would probably have more time to be bored. Or write. Or both. One big project at work is coming towards completion as I learn more about how it works every day. It is being unleashed to the wider population of the school community on Monday but most things are working smoothly. It is not […]
Today has been a work day for me. I have sat at home and got on with things in preparation for the next, incredibly short (at 24 teaching days) half term. As of now, I have 6 Computing units organised to the point where I know what lessons I am teaching, even if I am […]
I’ve been busy working all day preparing for two observed lessons and trying to come up with 6 different e-safety plans that, ideally, don’t just involve making posters. I think I’ve done that and I think I’m ready for my head to come and watch me teach. I feel like I am prepared – with […]
