Unscheduled fire drill this morning just as we were celebrating our Assembly triumph in tutor group. We were investigating a 24 hour ration pack to see what the army eats when they are in the field. Brought back happy memories of CCF at Epsom and cycling around the Dordogne with those packs and a gas burner.
Nervous day as I had a new Year 11 group who are retaking their Mod 3 paper in March. They were on their best behaviour but obviously thought I was lame. I showed them the clip from "Any Given Sunday" where Al Pacino gives his speech about inches and suggested that the difference between a D and a C could be the matter of a few marks here or there. We were together to find those extra marks. No idea what I was talking about

9.2.2 and 8.1.3 were OK after lunch but nothing special. Very hard to keep them focused on a Friday afternoon so find myself working a little too hard and tired by 3.15. Always remember 3.15, not 8.15!!!!
Out to the pub for a couple of pints with Kevin. Tidy
