So far, this week has been a bit hectic (when isn’t that the case?) and also a little bit frustrating; last night I spent nearly four hours putting together a schedule of one to ones and my work lappie decided to have a fit and at about 11:15 I lost all the work! arrrrrrggghhh!!! It … Read more
Ok, so it’s not midweek, but I seem to have lost all sense of time which usually happens about this time of year, so it’ll be short and sweet! Two things: (1) Bread and butter starters have gone done really well – you’ll find them on the post below, and I’ve already added next weeks sheets. … Read more
Do you know the feeling, when you’ve had a discussion with someone and afterwards you manage to come up with all sorts of smart remarks, that you wish you’d said? Know that feeling? Usually follows shortly after an argument with someone? Before I go into my “wish I’d said that” moment let me give you the preamble: a few … Read more
The attached policy document was published today that sets out the governments plans for post 16 Maths. I know most of you have “got” the fact that from Sept 2014 students who haven’t achieved a C at GCSE must continue to study Maths as part of their 16-19 education (in fact this is tied into the … Read more
As part of the groundworks for the collaborative scheme of work I have been looking at the new programmes of study for KS3 and KS4, and looking at the overlap in subject content.

12 months ago we moved my little blog to our own domain (or something similarly techie!) and I continued to post – according to the WordPress annual report it was actually 170ish times that I posted – and slowly more and more of you were reading me chuntering on about all sorts of stuff. It wasn’t until … Read more
I was going to come up with a list of things I’d like to achieve this year but I find myself sat here thinking that no matter how grand (or not so grand) one’s plans are, life seems to have its own way of unravelling and it sort of reminds me of that interview question … Read more
The idea was to spend some time doing some planning today and as you do, I’ve spent most of the time doing anything OTHER than planning – I’m trying to justify to myself that organising resources isproductive, but I’m sure I’d be able to convince anyone else. I have however found another couple of logic starter worksheets that I’d made, … Read more
I quite often duck when I hear or read the words on an email “I don’t suppose you have something for teaching … ” but then have a hunt around and find something that fits the bill. However, when approached for something about “3d shapes” for the Guardian I could only find an exit card worksheet for … Read more
I’ve been a bit of a “slacker” in the lead up to Christmas, but now its over I’m back. To be brutally honest (and those that know me would say that at times I am sometimes “too brutal” … oops I mean “too honest” … or do I??) Anyway, in the run up to the festivities I found … Read more
