It is exeat weekend for me and I am loving it. I didn’t get dressed until 10.30, drank lots of cups of tea and I am now enjoying the sunshine. Bliss

Lego jellyfish on Lego ideas. ideas.lego.com/s/p:ee097824... I think this would make an amazing set.
Jellyfish Collection
Jellyfishes are both some of the strangest and most beautiful creatures of the ocean. But if you do not live near the ocean, it can be hard to find ...

Tried to set up my Hestia telescope last night to take a photo of the moon and Jupiter. Couldn’t get it to work at all. Looked at it this morning and realised I had the solar filter on! 🤦🏻♀️

My first attempt at making bread since lockdown. I’m using my daughter’s starter. Not looking too bad pre baking. Looking at doing this once a week in term time.

My daughter is a genius. She has made the Christmas cake as a wreath which has lots of benefits:
A) it is much easier to cut
B) more icing per slice
C) the middle circle has made a very cute mini cake.

Christmas shopping all done, wrapped and under the tree. Well, not wrapped as in an effort to be less disposable I’ve made up fabric Christmas bags we can reuse.

Physicist Elizabeth Laird was born #OTD in 1874.
Over the course of her career she worked on spectroscopy, soft X-rays, and radiation absorption by tissue. In 1909 she became the first woman accepted by J.J. Thomson to do research at Cavendish Laboratory. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩🔬

What a brilliant, and completely knackering, week. We had the moon rocks in school and managed to get all year 7-11 to see them (except for a few who had rugby match). Totally awesome to have actual samples from Apollo 15,16 and 17.

I had such a fun day today. Year 6 students came in for an assessment day and did a mini science lesson. I demoed dry ice sublimation - they loved seeing it used as a fire extinguisher and catching a balloon that was heavier than expected.

Today’s marking excitement is Environmental science end of topic test. Though I am procrastinating and leaving the essay until tomorrow as that scares me.

I honestly don’t know how anyone marks for the exams. Yes earn some money and great CPD but not worth the pain of the boredom.
I know marking is very helpful, for both me and the students but, oh my goodness it is soooooo boring.* Probably my least favourite teacher task. What is yours?

We have the moon rocks coming to school soon and I am planning the activities. So far:
1) looking at moon rocks
2) meteorite and earth rock
3) digital exploration
I need 1 more activity. Suggestions please.
