It's been a while since I recorded my numbers :) why is that?
Because I have 1 new job :) 0.64 part time but actually lots of hours planning, marking and supervising detentions! It is a brilliant job but teaching has a way of taking over your time and I do miss my gap year. Maybe I will have another one sometime soon. So this month ...
I have been enjoying walking to school (some days!) and watching the trees change and winter come in. 
36 beautiful and amazingly creative calligrammes made by my year 8 class. That is as many pupils in one class than were in the whole of year 8 in my last school! We have been studying Apollinaire's calligrammes, fabulous surrealist poems in the shape of the object they describe, I wondered if it would be too difficult but as always my students totally over deliver! They write beautiful words and illustrated them perfectly. Very proud.
2 children at school and enjoying their learning this year. This month we have been mostly reading and learning our tables.
Thousands of poppies at the Tower of London, a truly inspiring sight and I was really impressed that the children took it in and talked so intelligently about Remembrance Day. I was very proud when w got his british legion wristband and said he was going to look at it and think about the soldiers who died.
