Managed to pack quite a lot into yesterday, which always feels good, especially if its different and inspiring. Started off in the morning by Fran effortlessly doing her normals in order to win her weeks pocket money, which she then spent on Beanies 🙄 Wizard Whimstaff was again instructing us on something new, right angles […]

Since my technical team have very inconsiderately gone and got themselves jobs 🙄 😉 perhaps i should learn to install a new template myself. I will of course need to remember how to get into the ftp of the site. But if i do that… is it easy? Or do i need my head read […]

A Gnome, to be specific. Aaah, she made me proud; did her promise, in front of 40 people, beautifully clear and intelligible, without a stutter or a hint of the speech difficulties she’s combated. I was so proud of her, she looked and sounded, adorable. I love her in her uniform, with her hair up […]

Stuff which is essentially there but could be more solid. Number words 2d and 3d shapes, regular and irregular Subtraction up to 100 Mixed multiplication Division HTU Money – giving change. Equating fractions to division.

Today was one of those days where you can’t help feeling some lunacy has crept into modern maths methods really. Not entirely sure why we persisted with it; it was a useful skill, essentially, but set out in a way that will never really come into real life. I’ll have to think of a way […]

Assuming this is where we end up eventually with this current theme… Places to go Probably be able to manage the Bury St Edmunds one anyway. Wish i’d been able to go to Sutton Hoo in June, ah well. Compass Site BBC Adult History Site Smashing Saxons – we’ve got that 😀 Bit of onion […]

No one seems worried about the clash with eo, so Egypt is on for Friday. Please bring a craft if at all possible – £1 per child for people who contribute an activity seems to be working well 🙂 See you there.

Amelie went to nursery today without a backwards glance and came out beaming and happy. I shall be checking her wee later for stress hormones. Otherwise, its been a peaceful day, mostly. Downstairs is a tip but i’m ignoring it, though i will have to do some beads later so i don’t get too behind […]

Or that is the theory. We didn’t divert too seriously from todays plan though, which probably means it was worth doing. Kate wasn’t available though, because Summer is still hurt from last weeks accident and wasn’t at school or up to noise. So drawing is on hold for another day. Still managed to entertain everyone […]

Monday: Normals, art/drawing, more Dig for Clues, make time to look at YAC stuff with Fran, plan out garden maybe. Tuesday: Normals, paint models, more clay work perhaps? Wednesday: Morning, preparation for Egypt day? Out (although depending on nursery situation????) Thursday: Normals, baking, “120 Projects Book” on Stone Age? Friday: Normals, Egypt group (i think) […]
