Half way marks...

It's been a while since I posted here and so much has been happening! Both at home(& abroad!) and at work, with study figuring high up there on the agenda too.

Back to work after Christmas we tried to start implementation of the new library management package but hit several stumbling blocks in the first week. The second week was then dominated by lessons supporting ICT Unit 8.3 - these are the product of previous action inquiry and have now become standard practice. They went very well and feedback has been very positive with kids saying: "we can use what we learned in the LRC for that geography homework", which is what it is ALL about! Fantastic :-)

Marks came back on the first two modules of the year. I was disappointed with the first - although it is was a very good mark, well above average, I could see I had not given myself enough time to do the best of jobs. I did do that with Exhibition Preparation though, and was very pleased to be duly rewarded with an excellent mark.

Now to keep that in mind as I do Action Inquiry & Exhibition....
