My You Tube Debut

Here it is
sit down with your popcorn and enjoy, it may be short and sweet but then again the best things come in small packages and this is small but very very good!!!
Making this video was an experience !! but it was fun fun fun!
My son and I son enjoyed making the buns, however he as embarrassed about the video and would be rather upset knowing it is on You Tube !
It was for a home work project from school that was encouraging familes to work together and it worked !

Sunday !!

So as you know I don't like Sundays however today has been a very productive one. I have revised my socks off and been hard at it all day. I must say that in the past (a long time ago) I did not revise for exams but returning to education after over twenty years I have learnt a valuable lesson..... Most of the time ..... You get out what you put in !! 
So here is hoping, I got a C for my Maths GCSE and I hope to do the same for English. I certainly have put in so I hope a C comes out !!!

Revision tip

Down load as many past papers you can find and read read read 
Just gives you more of an idea of the way in which the questions are styled 
It gives you the answer papers too, to check your right !!!
Even if you just read them and say the answers out loud (to yourself) and check you were right, helps with the comprehension side and understand what they want you to answer with 
Easier than writing it and does help a little and as they say ... Every little helps

Countdown to the big day

So only three more sleeps till my GCSE English exam and it's fair to say I'm panicking !!!! 
I have studied hard and still revising ( I will be doing so until it begins!!) 
Going into college Monday night for the last English lesson ever (hopefully) 
I don't normally go Mondays but it's the last one before the exam so I'm making a special appearance !! 
Right studying finished for today, a good nights sleep and back to it first thing tomomorow morning !!!

Stop.....motion !

So I was terrified of this assignment on making a video ! But working alongside a great team made it not so scary after all. Think it's a case of the unknown and most people are scared of what they don't know !! (Ann Marie back me up) !!
So once Paul had explained and we got going, I really enjoyed it. It was good to know how effective it was and something I will be sure to use in future when teaching. Think it is really useful for getting messages across but also getting the children to make one themselves. I will keep you posted on Amy future movies and may even be on the big scree one day !!!

Cakes for colleagues at college

Now how's that for a good bit of alliteration (Adam GCSE Teacher) 
We were all busy working away and a very kind young lady celebrating her 18th birthday (Miriam) came over and offered us some deliciously looking cake ( I'll report on how it tastes later) 
Can I just say, it restores my faith in that there are still some lovely people in this world ( or in bradford at least) 
So a big thank you to her and I wish her a very happy day
