Feels like ages since I blogged and now can’t remember everything we have done! I spoke to p.4-7 on Wednesday about Malawi and about glow but did not have much time left for glow after I went on about Malawi. In typical kids fashion of being so comfortable with new technology they were not phased and did not even seem particularly excited until I started talking about video conferencing!
I had someone out to see me on Thursday to support me with my Malawi cross-authority glow group and that was really helpful as there were a few admin things I could ask to get help with sorting out and I got some different ideas for doing new things. Most of all of this will probably happen after I get back from Malawi.
She also forwarded me this link which is an article on the LTS website -http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/news/2008/educational/june/news_tcm4488722.asp
It is strange being told about things on the web about yourself that you were not aware of!
I had another group of 3 girls do their maths lesson on Thursday. They did area and perimeter and had some brilliant ideas and resources they had made themselves. It was quite short again though and again they did not know how to deal with the noise the class were making and I had to interupt a lot to quieten people down. Managed to get the peer and self-assessment done again on video after it which I think is one of the most useful aspects and in general the others in the class were very positive but they do not see how difficult they make it for the people doing the lesson.
We had our health day on Friday and I spent most of the day chopping fruit as p.7 were doing our ‘health bar’. This was after making jelly until nearly midnight the night before. Somehow I was running around like mad all day preparing things which is not what I had expected to be doing. Just as well we were having a dress down day and I had my trainers on! Our dress down day and the health bar were to raise money for resources for the school I am going to in Malawi and although I do not have a final figure yet it looks like we made over £250 which is a big help.
