The above is not a phase I would ever have imagined anyone saying about me and a bit like buses – it’s happened twice in the last two weeks. Let’s just say I feel a little bit like the “wicked witch” right now, which is disappointing as I always saw myself more in the role of … Read more
I’ve been meaning to update this as I know lots of you finish next Friday for Easter – when I came to review last years quiz I decided I actually quite liked it, so have only tweaked it slightly (and I mean ever so slightly … basically changed 1 question!) as it really is quite … Read more
I seem to swing from always blogging about resources, or always about the wider world of maths or always about teaching ideas … I need to get a balance! I suppose the same could be said about my work-life thing-a-me-jig! In the absence of not posting my usual mid week blog post on Wednesday (I … Read more

This post has been in the offing for a while – I am just finalising it and then rushing off to yet another flamin’ meeting! Roll on the weekend when I have time to catch up on everything – a teacher’s lot is one of constantly putting the big jobs off until the weekends until you have big chunks … Read more
This is another one of those post’s where I am not claiming credit for this but loved it so much I adapted it for my own use and thought I’d share it further – I’ve just offered the idea out to other teachers at school and it has been taken up by over 1/2 the teaching staff (and I’ve kept reprographics busy … Read more
