New School

Lots has happened since I last posted some good, erm Christmas, New Year a skiing holiday and some awful, a close friend died in a car crash and my gran who was very ill with altzeimers also died.

If you want to see our ski photos check out si's blog and also info you want any geeky info on the new plasma, si's blog is the place to find it, all I can tell you is that its GREAT!

Today was the start of a new term at my second placement school and I already like it alot. My new mentor seems alot more clued in than my previous one and the whole PD day was focused on Teaching and Learning. (some aren't, amazingly!) However there is a very clingy person at the new school who seems very full of great advice, and my gut instinct is to stay well clear. Fortunately I won't be taking over any of her lessons and therefore it shouldn't be a problem.

Morgan is currently at Simon's mums until friday ( and I am missing him already) although it does mean that we will be having some nice adult time (always a bonus!).
I have just booked Si and I another (shorter) ski trip to St. Anton for 4 days skiing during half term which is according to some Teachers only 5 weeks 2 days away. So I must find someone to babysit. I am a little jealous as I have spoken to our friends who we usually go skiing with and they are off at the weekend to our usual ski venue of Puy St. Vincent, and i enjoyed skiing so much this year I just wish we were going again so soon. We really must move somewhere which makes skiing at weekends a viable option, or buy an apartment near an airport which has v cheap flights from Stanstead so we can go most weekends!

Its a bit late but I thought I would add my New Years Resolutions:-

To try and be more tolerant of people in general
To improve my fitness by going swimming and/or to a gym twice a week.
To make most lessons intesresting (WOW factor)
To walk the dogs everyday
