Made it to the end of the term. It seemed to drag on a little at the end. It has been a busy half term. Had a few timetable changes through the middle. I am now officially the lead teacher of Physics at Walton high. Hopefully that goes well, there will be plenty to do I think. I've also picked up a PGCE (student teacher) in the last few weeks, which has been good. Not much to say really about the term, was pretty standard, just busy. Got to pretend to be an english teacher in the middle with a fellow science teacher with the Y8's public speaking ALD. I think we pulled it off quite well (frankly we were awesome english teachers, but I still prefer science), one of our group came second on the day (first by crowd popularity though). Felling a lot more settled in the place now and looking forward to next term, should be good and I'll loose some senior classes to Exam time (Much like what happens in NZ).
On holiday now for 2 weeks. kicked it off with an 80's party for a friends birthday (I had long hair again for a night, sigh...). Off to Scotland tomorrow to see a friend from NZ who married a Scottish gent and is now living in Inverness. I come back later in the week and will spend time relaxing and preparing for the new term. I've just managed to find a summer hockey team (was on my list of things to do), no idea exactly who I'm playing with, but don't really care I just miss the game. So of course had to get myself a nice new stick as I left my other ones in NZ. should kick off late April.
Anyway things are looking good here, few things coming up that should be a bit of fun. Getting out as much as I can and just generally trying to have fun and enjoy the company of good people. Was trying to think of something deep and philosophical then, but it ain't happening.
