in the lesson I observed another teacher, damage limitation, since 2 out of 6 of our expensive quickfit flasks were broken, and the little shits spraying me with water when my back was turned. I'm quite happy I don't have to teach them anymore. The a revision lesson where we did a group quiz, then my all singing all dancing lesson where I was observed, on sound. I had bells in vacuum jars, hearing tests for pitch levels, plastic cups on strings, tuning forks, drama with pupils pretending to be air molecules, 10 kids lined up with their ears to the desk for sound travelling through solids. I even managed to get a reference to the film alien, with in space no one can hear you scream! Oh, and whales and dolphins, can't forget them...

during the first lesson, but the last two were really good fun. And I managed to make one of the other teachers on my course look a bit put off by me saying a few of the kids deserved a good smack. 'Not very progressive', as she said...

They've lost the ready made lesson plans for the stuff i've been doing. I've just being slapping a rough plan together and jumping in. Seems to work for me.

the problem with excluded kids is the schools they've been excluded from don't understand 'em. Admittedly there's the occasional twunt, but most of 'em are nice kids who have behavioural rather than educational difficulties. Mrs Witchy is the only teacher in her place that the kids like!
