Did anyone else just get a flash back to Boney M on Top of the Pops? Not pleasant was it?

Regardless, the holidays have come around again and so I'll see you again in August.

Enjoy your break!

The Children of Stockholm

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:53:39 GMT

I heard a bit (when the house is full of rampaging school-holiday children, few things survive uninterrupted) of a radio article about the dispute over an American billionaire’s multi-million pound legacy for her dog. One of the radio interviewees was critical of any such gestures, saying “Dogs aren’t loyal, they just have Stockholm Syndrome”. This is [...]

Scary biscuits...

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:28:37 GMT

So, loads of people signed up for our session on the merits of the PGCE in Primary PE and they gave us quite a decent sized room. The main conference suite in fact! Jings. I thought last week's head-teacher interview (9 people on the panel!) was scary enough. Fortunately we had some suitably Star-Trek-fan-type techies on hand for some audio-visual assistance...

Snail mail

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:54:06 GMT

My email inbox has been pinging with excitement over the last day or so. And why? The pings trumpeted (can pings trumpet, I wonder?) the arrival of several work-related messages which were sent on the 7th April. So that makes, ummm, approximately 3 months in the ether. They could have been sent by sea in [...]

Bye Bye Magpie?

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:57:46 GMT

During the last week of term, the Janitors noticed that the magpie nest above the head of the statue of Our Lady appeared to be abandoned but then saw a baby magpie fluttering around the bottom of the statue. The mother magpie was continuing to feed it and trying to lift it up back into the [...]

Gaelic dictionary

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:47:12 GMT

BBC Scotland reports on the launch of a business plan for a new dictionary of Gaelic.

The new dictionary will be as important as ‘great art collections’ held by national galleries Strathclyde’s Boyd Robertson, convener of the Faclair na Gaidhlig project steering group, has said.

The aim is to produce a dictionary on a par with the Scottish National and Oxford English dictionaries. Four universities and Gaelic college Sabhal Mor Ostaig on Skye are involved.

Hunger

Still working through emails piled up, some from before I took my annual leave and enjoying making my own musical mixes from seeqpod as I plough through stacks of work.

As we move to society where I can click to my favorite track on Internet - access videos when I want through i-player or others - and as I build a list of web sites and gizmo's that I couldn't live without .. starting with wireless access - and of course share all this wonderful stuff..

Our shame is that there are still families in this world living on a dollar a day and this week I see staple food prices have climbed above this . Puts a lot of our posturing on educational issues ..in a harsh light .. is education really about enlightenment and social justice ?

I was told this was going to happen at an economic conference in January

Hey I blogged about it ;-(
Do the starving blog ?

Thanks to Josh Summers for image

Visiting the High School for Global Citizenship

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:54:58 GMT

This morning we got up REALLY early and got the 7am train. The reason for the silly early start (for a holiday!) was that we were going to school. This wasn't because I was missing being at school or because...
