Back to school for all of us today. Flo was sick last night at around 1am, all in the bed. Lovely! The joys of parenthood. Poor thing though, not a nice experience for anyone. She was fine this morning thankfully, so off she went. It was all a bit chaotic but I managed to get everything ready, only for the rest of them to leave after me and forget most things! Such is life.
My school day was fun. Thank heavens I'm not just teaching maths by itself anymore. I love teaching maths, but I like a bit of variety too.
Today I taught phonics to reception children. My three weeks worth of plans were a little ambitious ha ha! I'll be lucky to get past week 1 in the three weeks left. It's difficult to pitch a first lesson when you haven't observed the group previously though and I wasn't that far off the mark. I did describe it like trying to keep thousands of ants in a box which I shall hopefully address tomorrow with some more active learning.
The spelling research has started off well. I'm just going to look at planning for progress/next steps in writing at word level. This week i'll do some general research accross all three year groups. The I'll see who looks interesting and pursue 2-3 children in the following 2 weeks in more detail. I've never done research before so I need to read that book! How to do your research project (and finish it lol). Anyway, I've made some headway tonight but not enough (as usual). I'm prepared for phonics tomorrow which is the main thing. It's freezing and the heating has gone off so I need to head for my snuggly bed.

  1. The internet is fueling the success of music because it can be listened to at any time of the day and anywhere
    in the world. This means that everyone in the whole wide world can access this new kind of radio and you are assured that the programs
    as well as the list of radio stations you are listening to are all automatically updated.
    You will need an outside antenna to get clear reception on your radio.

  2. How often have you bought headsets but discarded them after some time, once they didn.
    G500s Laser Gaming Mouse packs a gaming grade laser for precise cursor control on a wide variety of surfaces and
    a hyper-fast dual-mode scroll wheel. Building a better Naga - I've always really liked Razer's Naga (and I've used nearly all of them at some point), but I have to say that the G600 is hands-down my pick.

  3. The pc 2007 elite TV software is therefore legitimate software with over 3000 TV channels.
    As business owners recognize the swaying power of using
    audio to communicate the value and quality of their products and services, online audio will come of age in a big way.

    Most radio stations on the Internet have offline counterparts.

  4. You want to relive the memories of your wedding day
    for the rest of your life and the right equipment is a prerequisite
    to turn this into a reality. The speed of your internet connection is usually directly responsible for buffering, so if you are usually unable to stream video from the internet without having to endure plenty
    of loading time as the file downloads temporarily
    to your PC, then it might be worth investing in a faster broadband deal.

    What they do care about is how the search entries, such as “
    cosmetic dentistry your town” match with the key phrases on your video, so that they can give
    the public exactly what it wants.
