Rockets go to the moon...

Child 1 - Rockets go to the moon to explore.  They cant go any further because they don't have enough fuel.
Child 2 - I guess i could get to Mars because i eat Mars bars for fuel!

Got to love them!

Work life balance

Ok so its the weekend, APP needs doing and marking but I have my guilty pleasures justified by calling them a 'work life balance'.


Having a trusting TA

Fridays maths lesson.  Below average group, learning to use left and right for direction.

I love my TA, she is very experienced and loving.  However, no amount of experience could have prepared her for being blindfolded and guided around the school grounds by children who don't know their left from their right.  The children have now learnt left and right and ill send her flowers direct to the hospital.


Making learning fun for ALL involved! 

Teach the children during christmas without them knowing they are learning!

Is your school anything like mine where you are expected to keep teaching right up until the final hour?

12 days of christmas
The TES is offering this great maths resources that will enable you to give the children fun maths activities without them even realising they are learning (well i thought they were great!).
