So I thankfully made it through the first term. Generally I’ve found it easier since half term apart from the last week and a half before Christmas during which the kids were a bit loopy.
The last day I was meant to keep the kids on curriculum, but I do admit to bending it a little to involve creating animated Christmas cards. The one I’ve enlosed here is from Sasha, who generally doesn’t come to my lessons and when she does, she doesn’t do much ICT (least not databases and spreadsheets). Just goes to show… I thought that this was the best of the animations. Well done Sasha!
How do I harness this talent? And how do I keep her on side? We had a lovely lesson as kids rushed to save their work into a shared folder so I could show it to the whole class on the projector.
I’m back in Sheffield, eating, reading and sleeping and enjoying the company of my family. Best wishes to everyone.
