Year 8 is second year of secondary level, so they're 12-13 years old. Year 12 is first year of non compulsory education (sixth form) so they're 16-17 years old. Some of the girls have PILED on the weight (very much like i did - and i didnt have any positive healthy role models at college) and i just think encouraging them to do something more active will be a good thing. Got two girls who i would easily peg at 18/19 stone, 3 or 4 about my size at 14/15 stone and a few others who are just unactive (but still skinny.. obviously not caught them up yet
)Hi angel, so glad the observation went well
cheers - half 9 i was in bed and i'm still shattered!

I am exhausted just reading all that. I didn't realise that you taught such varied age and ability groups when you were just learning - that must be tough to keep all that content in your head and switch between them.
What is ICT and is that the only (well I say only.....) subject you teach?
Well done on the 2.5lbs - that's great. Bet you have no time to eat!

Information Communication Technology - the use of computers and their software basically. You're probably right.. i have no time anymore to eat all the time!
Glad the observation went well. It all seems like such hard work, but sounds like you're enjoying it!
I am but i am shattered. Today my 10's was awful due to my sh*t planning and delivery, but my 8y4 was fantastic and my classroom management was brilliant if i do say so myself - however, the supply covering for Mrs Davidson (who was sick, so didnt see the brilliant lesson
) would not hand me the reigns (which she was supposed to - its one of my timetabled lessons) so i felt like hitting her over the head with the hole punch! grrrrr!food for today:
B - oatsosimple apple and blueberry (3)
L - 2 slices bread (3) philadelphia light (1) lettuce (0)
T - 1/2bag quorn (2.5) half jar sainsburys basics sweet and sour sauce (2) peppers, onions (0) 60g bulgar wheat (3)
S - wotsits big eat 34g (2.5) curlywurly (2.5)
total: 19.5 points
been in the fitness suite setting a good example to the Year 12's today too - running on the treadmill! bearing in mind it was for like.. 2 minutes or something!
wasnt as long as i thought it would be but 20mins better than nothing AP earned: 1

All sounds great Rach and well done on the crowd control - my Mum's been teaching for years and still grapples with repeated surprise that teenagers don't want to sit still and pay attention!! xx
mommyB
love it
i Take my hat off to you Rachael, even in primary school i prefer Ks1 to Ks2 but even they can be cheeky little monkeys!!-someone reported a year 1 boy to me (so age 5 or 6) for being in the girls loos and when i questioned him about it,it was cos there's no mirror in the boys' and he needed to check his hair. Somehow i kept a straight face!!

I love my KS3's more than KS4 /5. Not that i dont like 4's and 5's but i feel like i could still be in school at GCSE / AS level.. so i find it more difficult to build that adult persona that i need to have with them! i love the excuses that they all come up with though - fantastic!dont be silly - old farts like you can do ICT
only kidding!Morning Miss
