I know it's been forever since I updated this. I feel very guilty. Not pleased with the quantity of work I have to do at the moment. 'Tis the report writing season and so my head is swamped by them. But alongside this, I have all my usual class based things to do. On top of that, my sister recently got married and that took up a huge amount of time and I made a big decision about my future.

So, sorry for not writing more, but I am still very much alive and I will write more regularly when things settle a little later in the month. Hopefully.

Here are the education policies for each of the three main parties condensed down into Wordles. I haven't done this, Jo Winchester has. It's very interesting!

The more times a word is used, the larger it appears on the Wordle.

Inspired by Tom Barrett's Twitter post about his classroom, and asking for photos of others, I took these photos at the end of yesterday.

Clearly, the chairs are up for cleaning, and the room is a little messy as we'd made biscuits and there's a fair bit of drying art work lying around - but these things happen in a working classroom!

I took photos from a high angle to avoid showing you just the backs of chairs stood in each corner of the room. It's a Victorian building (just, 1901) with high ceilings. The room was converted from being the staffroom a few years ago and is quite long but pretty narrow for Year 5 children and furniture - makes getting around a little difficult.

If you want to know about any of the displays or work, just post a comment.
