After a fantastic Easter break it’s been back into the fray today. It’s great to get back to school feeling totally refreshed. My perception is that for most secondary teachers this is term in which things ‘ease off’ a little with exam leave. That was certainly my experience as a Maths teacher.
It’s not quite the same, again in my experience, for those involved in Guidance/Pupil Support. Despite the reduced numbers there still seems to be as much going on, maybe it’s just that other things that may not have been as far up the agenda suddenly have the chance to come on to your radar. There are also primary visits and transfer information to consider. Anyway, not a bleat, I’m just glad I had a relaxing break to prepare me for the coming term.
This term also takes care of SQH Unit 4. We have an oral presentation to do as well as a written assignment. I’m actually looking forward to this one because we are focusing on our school improvement project which has been really interesting for me so far.
Pre-vocational education selection time is here too, so that will take up a large chunk of time with the organising, preparation, interviews and induction.
After all that it’ll be time to go to Chamonix in activities week, woohoo! How time flies!
I read two very interesting books over the holidays. I recommend them both. Hegemony or survival by Noam Chomsky and The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.
