We were likening it to Line of Duty too... eek

Goodness, I hope the multitude of feelings brought up by revisiting this are manageable for you in time.
I find myself wondering how many other people are around the world who survived such a mysterious illness.
Best wishes to you 🙏

I just had a read - we will need to check back early 2026 as it says the flexible funding will be back. I'll believe it when I see it.
We need everyone affected by changes made by this coalition of chaos, to rally, to talk widely, to support getting people voting in next year's election.

Utterly.

Oh my, listening to Brooke Van Veldon on this topic hurt my ears...

Grrr.

Post you from a different era

Me, 14yo with my family as we made our way to the UK in 1986

Absolutely!

Can't makes me want to find a way...
How might an in person exam be designed to check research skills? Or maybe we ask students to show their AI prompts? Those would probably show who knows their stuff well??

Just my thoughts 😆 I teach 9-11 year olds so not yet a real problem for me. Best wishes!

Viv's is an institution around these parts!
Meeting up with friends traveling to/from Wellington up North, it's our go-to.
Glad you are out and about with a great friend ❤️

Surely written by hand tests still work?
Certainly an interesting time.
We've been writing speeches based on proverbs and I did wonder if a couple of the students had 'joojed' things up, perhaps even with AI...

Is it the same one practicing drums earlier ??

I recognise the signs of classic avoidance behaviour... I know it well

20 read now, the other three are at school because two boys haven't edited yet due to absence and one girl hasn't started yet, also due to absence.

Very happy with the 20 I have read though. Now I'm going to compare them with the mid-year example and check progress.

Then report comments...!

Great, thanks

I saw this, potentially triggering was what I took from the comments - the question I guess is why choose this for an exam setting, where students are isolated from discussing any tricky feelings?
There are so many pieces of text loaded with language features they could have chosen?

Bamboo, interesting. I'll check it out.
I got some bamboo pillowcases a few years back, they are lovely and soft and seem to be lasting well.

Nearly an hour later, I've read 14/23.
I'm really pleased with the quality overall. I've been roughly putting them in order as I go, just a gut feeling. It'll be interesting to compare with previous notes and see their progress.

Here too, a couple of very warm nights as well- covers off, covers on, repeat!

Gorgeous day huh. Bees, flowers, blue sky, I'm in shorts too 🤩

Far out.
Here's the last sentence...

'The last thing I say is "Whedor is rising once more," before I sink into the inky blackness of my mind.'

These clever children amaze me. The rest of the story is equally amazing.
