Being lazy

I do love holidays.I've had a great couple of weeks doing exciting things with my lovely kids, and still have another few weeks of fun. I am avoiding work as much as I can but still check emails, still keep updated on twitter, have started reading Will Ryan's inspirational book, and have signed myself up for a free online course in coaching! My plan is to jot down ideas, here, so that if only I read them at least I will remind myself what I was thinking about!

I want to really inspire my class to be independent learners this year. Last term I set the children up to do group projects about the Olympics. They were amazing. They created music, presentations, displays, designed artwork, so many different things. I plan to do this again, push them to learn what they want to learn, guide them to build skills and creativity.
They are keen to learn science through gadgets, let's see what they come up with.
