January 2013
School begins again tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. Our syndicate has four classes now, years 6-8. It's very exciting to be working with a bigger team, not just myself and one other as there is a wealth of experience there to bounce ideas off. Class beginning with 27 students. Have created a Google site to store all our course work. Can't wait to see how that is received.

and mostly, II can still
There are big changes afoot next year. New extension groups, more opportunities for our kids to showcase their skills and new formats for the students to publish their work, can't wait...
Overall, a great year. Targets have nearly been met with many students showing that the 1-1 programme is a great way to go.

December 2012
Nearly at the end of the year, kids weary, I'm tired and mostly, I can still get a laugh out of them. Year 8's are more than ready for College and the year 7's are already asking questions about how things will change next year, new tools to be using etc.
