IGI, I don't think you even told us you got the job! Congrats! And well done too on the SATs - I bet your kids will have done you proud.  On a similar note really, today was the deadline for our finalists to submit project work. The number of hands I've had to hold, the tears, the tantrums, the despair in the last couple of weeks... all over! And I think the ones I've supervised have done pretty well too. |

I'm proudly in the Happy Room this evening! It's the first day of KS2 SATs,
Well done IGI. My wife also mentioned today was first day of SATs. She found it hard because she was reading out science questions to the 'strugglers' And I had to sacrifice my TA for the morning to read for the "strugglers"! Apparently out Y6s found the Science very hard...but considering their average ability that's not surprisingly really. I just hope that they do manage to achieve their personal targets - which won't have us shooting up the league table but will show the progress they've made despite their difficulties. I'm pleased for your Y6s Mr ADH - and good luck in your Writing and Spelling tomorrow. Also the first day in my role as Acting Deputy Headteacher, which seemed to pass uneventfully until the Head got trapped in the library and I had to rescue him!! Sounds a bit dramatic! Did you abseil in through the window? |

Did you abseil in through the window? Not quite, but a jemmy, a screwdriver, some pliers and plenty of barging against the door did the trick! The rest of the staff, needless to say, found the whole episode hilarious!  |

Should have added, Mr ADH Sir, that we had a happy time on the field this afternoon, throwing those foam javelins you recommended.  I bought 7 (I'm going to bring 3 home for my own kids and keep 4 at school) but we had all 7 this afternoon so they were flying about all over the place. I've improvised hurdles using those long foam swimming tubes (known round here as woggles but just found them online as noodles)  which are fine for jumping over when propped up on supports on either side. |

That's great, MJ. I knew you'd love those javelins. We're getting plenty of sunshine and fresh air in the afternoons this week after the hard work in the mornings; rounders, cricket, athletics... This Friday.....is Quiz Night at school and I'm sure you can guess who's going to be the Quiz Master!!  |

Well done IGI. One up on you getting the head out of a jam there.
What about that young trombone player on BBC YMotY?? Pretty good and a brass bander to boot!!

Congratulations, IGI.
