Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Windy.

It was windy and grey today so somehow I couldn't summon up the enthusiasm to leap out of bed at 7.00 to make an early start on washing the conservatory. After making a couple of big books (to keep a record of the children's pirate boats) and chopping up veg for a saucepan of soup, I only had time to put in a short session of wiping down before going off to work at lunch time..
 My Wednesday afternoons have been changed around a bit and now I teach the first hour in a Year 1 class and then spend the rest of the afternoon back down with the reception children. After school a maths specialist came in to give us more ideas on how to use Numicon (coloured plates with different numbers of holes), with the children. It was a mostly practical session which was fun though it had to be me that held up the '1' plate when a photo of a hand was shown. Everyone else held up a '5' plate for the 5 fingers but then children think laterally as well.
Peter came home bearing this skateboard deck which a group of local skaters had designed and painted in Linas' memory. A lovely gesture but it did  bring a few tears to our eyes.
