Childish things still amuse me...
Afternoon Squire...private joke
I was sat thinking over lunch today about the things I used to do as a kid and how they seemed so funny at the time. Thing is we grow up and life moves in and they become less funny - which is where Top Gear comes in and justifies the point its OK to be a big kid!
With that in mind I was reflecting on the fact we used to think of film titles and add the words 'in my pants' to the end of them...it amused us and made me chuckle.
Ghostbusters...in my pants
Shrek...in my pants
Antz...in my pants
Herbie goes to Monte Carlo....the list is endless and it doesn't get anymore intelligent that that!
So have fun...warning some are especially rude...and transformers is just weird????!!!

EBL...PBL...
Latest project is working on instigating a PBL - personalised based learning - curriculum for the Yr7's.
Interesting experience so far. Main focus is looking at the idea of survival and the skills needed to survive new/difficult scenarios.
So currently creating ideas around surviving on a desert island linked into Robinson Crusoe in terms of literacy. Next step to highlight the skills needed in order to survive on the island and seeing which would be useful to 'survive' in Yr7 at a new school.
Coming together OK but struggling to find a use for coconuts in yr7...I am sure one will come to me !

Update since January
Been a mad year so far. Most of my time has been spent sorting out things to do with change to Hans Price Academy from Wyvern School. Been a mad time with lots to do but think I am getting on top of it - at the moment anyway.
So hopefully back on track and focused on updating this when and where possible...

A dream fulfilled
As a child growing up I loved the stories of King Arthur and Camelot. Recently, on a school visit to Chepstow Castle I finally achieved a childhood dream of being a knight.
They even gave me a sword!
Excellent day and excellent fun!!
