Day 349 - Maths Games

Wednesday March 31st

Last day of school and everyone is in a good mood. it feels good to be back and everyone in the staff room treats me like an old hand, which I like.

Teaching was very relaxed. I made an effort to plan a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire style quiz last night and it worked really well with 8.1.3. With 8.2.4, I was a little concerned about keeping them occupied but ended up spending the whole lesson on Maths Bingo. It was meant to be a starter but they really enjoyed it so stretched it out for 65 minutes.

Parent briefing for the Ardeche trip tonight. I signed up to chaperone a Year 10 trip next term which looks like it could be a blast. The only downsides are the 17 hour coach ride to get there and the small fact that Mrs N is now working and there will be no-one to look after the children over half-term. Whoops.
