One of the, organising French lessons for years 3 and 4, I&#8217;ve been meaning to do since September! The reason they need organising is that the scheme of work is spread across four different <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Compact Disc\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Compact_Disc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">CDs<\/a> and is just difficult to negotiate. I have placed all the files for each lesson from the different discs into folders on my stick, making life much easier. Tomorrow, I&#8217;ll place them on the staff server at school. I have already sorted the 5\/6 stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The other job was to plan some Literacy lessons, something I normally do over a weekend. Still, that&#8217;s out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>I have a few other things to get done though and another work evening will be needed this week.<\/p>\n<p>Work was reasonable today. We began work on an interactive <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Microsoft PowerPoint\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microsoft_PowerPoint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">PowerPoint<\/a> document with links between pages. Nothing spectacular, but something they haven&#8217;t encountered before. This will take a few days to get done in the time we have in Literacy lessons &#8211; I only have the laptops for a short time at the moment as my colleague is also trying to complete some online work.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"England\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/England\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">England<\/a> qualified for <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"2010 FIFA World Cup\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2010_FIFA_World_Cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">the World Cup<\/a> in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Brazil\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Brazil<\/a> next year. I&#8217;m not overly fussed about football, but I like to watch international matches. We saw the second half of the match against Poland. December 6th will see the draw being made. The teams currently qualified are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brazil<\/li>\n<li>Japan<\/li>\n<li>Iran<\/li>\n<li>Australia<\/li>\n<li>South Korea<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Costa Rica\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Costa_Rica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Costa Rica<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Netherlands\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netherlands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">The Netherlands<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Italy<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">United States<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Argentina<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Colombia\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=4.58333333333,-74.0666666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=4.58333333333,-74.0666666667 (Colombia)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation\">Colombia<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Belgium<\/li>\n<li>Switzerland<\/li>\n<li>Germany<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Bosnia and Herzegovina\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Russia<\/li>\n<li>England<\/li>\n<li>Spain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So 18 of the 32 teams are known. There are still play offs to decide the final places. At least football won&#8217;t dominate the headlines for the next few weeks as it has no need to have that importance now.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
