I have spent some time planning this holiday but will adapt once I start. As a teacher with some years under the belt I find most plans I am given hard to teach with as they do not give the option to adapt to the needs of the children. I also find many quite dull but that may be me!

I pretended I was not watching alongside my older teenagers but gave up and watched along. Enjoyed it immensely!

Oh dear. Love to say someone really cool but it was Huey Lewis and the News ( I believe Bruce Hornsby supporting) when I was about 12. Went with my friend Tessa at the Royal Albert Hall. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

That is quite a collection! I had one of those picture discs but no where near as many as that. Makes me wish I had kept my vinyl as had made a huge investment...

I had many of these and a very similar stereo system.Most of mine were vinyl but remember having some singles on cassette. Loved PWEI !

I have this on my wall next to my desk. Look at it every so often to remind me why I am there. Great quote.

Have been doing this approach after training from Ashley and we have found that it really is an effective way to teach reading. Love the fact that I sometimes plab lessons based on children's or my interests.
