All I’e done today is work. Believe it or not, I feel a little behind in things already after only two weeks of teaching<\/a>. Things get a little more hectic this week as I have a student teacher<\/a> working alongside me in their induction to the school – she will be teaching on and off with me throughout the rest of this academic year<\/a>, so hitting the ground running and finding a good working relationship is vital.<\/p>\n

I am making slow progress with a job that I really should have completed over the summer but couldn’t because I didn’t have the necessary information to do so. I have all I need now – I hope – so can devote a bit more time to finishing it off. I have one complete document out of 5, and one half-finished. I will get there. I want to have them complete by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

We’re introducing a 15 minute spelling slot into our timetable from next week also, so I’ve planned 10 sessions just to see how they run.<\/p>\n

I’m out of class on Tuesday morning, so time was spent organising my class’ work for then – I still need to come up with a solid plan for my time on Tuesday morning, which is designated time to work on the teaching of ICT in school.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, a friend from university got in touch with me about blogging with pupils this evening. My school has blogged all of last year – well in Key Stage 2<\/a> anyway – and it has gone down well. Time needs to made for it either in Literacy or ICT, but the work has been decent so far. I hope it becomes a little more embedded into people’s teaching this year, especially after the time is has taken to set up the 100 pupils involved!<\/p>\n

Band was reasonable. I had a few positive comments about my drumming tonight, which is always nice. I offered to help arrange a piece of music as well which isn’t quite working yet – the basics are there, but it needs a little sparkle adding to it! It is an attempt at arranging David Bowie’s<\/a> Heroes<\/em> for brass band from a piano and vocal score. It is just too basic and quite removed from the song. The bass line’s rhythm is nothing like it should be and a few key features or simply missing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I must reset my head for a busy week at work.<\/p>\n
