Impressive! The REAL Hugh Grant wants to follow little old me! I imagine he’s inspired by the teaching/ pitting/ broken eye stuff that I post here occasionally!
Yeah right!

Mmmmmm detached retina surgery gives you a charming (and pretty blinking painful) eyeball bruise.
Sorry if this gives you ‘the ick’.

Box of Delights finished. Seeing as we read Sea Fever by Mansfield last week, I think it’s only right to introduce my class to this classic!

This term, my Y5 and 6 class have been doing a great felting project. They used local South Downs fleece, washed it, dyed it with natural dye made from local plants, carded it, wet felled it and today they’ve needle felted some acorns and toadstools. My school is ace!

As in the other place, been meaning to get a copy for ages!
I’ve got 6 copies of Code Name Kingfisher to give away to one lucky winner.
Simply repost this and make sure you’re following me. I’ll choose one lucky winner at random on Sunday 1st of December.

We had an ungraded inspection in June for which we retained our ‘Good’ grade.I’ve been teaching 20 years. I’m a good teacher (I think!) The creeping dread of the proposed new inspection system is already panicking me.When will the powers that be in OFSTED realise that they’re still getting it wrong?

Time to start over I guess. 🙂 Hi, I'm Darrell. I make stuff, mainly out of things you'd normally throw away. I work with children and young people, lots of them. I make 3D artwork, mainly in schools . . . and I make sculptures myself, share them online, and hopefully inspire others to have a go. 👍
