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
The first thing I did as I just walked into the door this evening after a parish council meeting is check out the TES live chat with Liz Truss. I am starting to wonder if its me, and maybe I’m a little bit dim. Surely I’m not the only person that thinks the following just doesn’t add … Read more
I’ve now spent an hour looking for a post I was sure I’d written and still cant find it. I am almost positive I’ve written it – the good thing is that I have rediscovered the activity and am going to use it next week with year 11. Yay!! Less planning tomorrow, which is a … Read more
I’ve just spent a very satisfying two hours digging at my lottie – now don’t get me started as I can be an “allotment bore”. I’d forgotten how nice it was to get out in the fresh air, but despite that, I felt guilty not doing any work (obviously not that guilty, or I’d be working and not blogging!). I’m not … Read more
I am having the day off work today … ok, so that’s not quite true, but I’m not busting a gut to get anything done, just pottering and doing other stuff around the house as well as doing “a bit” when the fancy takes me. So here’s a bit of an update (and if you’re … 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
I’m not sure how much use some of this will be, but thought I’d share it anyway … There is so much change in the pipeline, and so many things yet to be confirmed by the DFE in terms of equivalencies between the new GCSE’s from 2015 and the current qualification that sometimes its difficult … Read more
