What a fantastic day

I had a great day today, I spent period 1 with tutor group who were obviously a bit worried about their first day with the whole school back and they spent that sorting out timetables etc etc. and the tutor really set out the rules in a fair but firm way. \It was interesting to note the subtle change from motivational talk yesterday to a vary matter of fact if you do x then y will happen kind of talk that occurred today.

Period 2 I spent with A2 Year13 Biology who I had been involved in helping out last year. Suprisingly there are only 5 students now from the 15+ who took AS level in year 12. They are doing coursework and each of them is doing an independant investigation and all of them look like they should make good experiments.

Period 3+4 was spent with AS Biology (year12) who are getting their first intro to the Salters Nuffield course. As part of this sixth form each student is set a 3week assignment for the teachers to assess whether they are suitable for the course. They have 20+ As level biology students which from a personal perspective seems too many.

Period 5+6+7 was spent with the A2 (year 13 students) who were doing some practical work which was fun.

Tomorrow I have 10B3 and I think it is earth materials, followed by a 1 lesson CORE run by the schools own training school. Must get working on my assignment!
