The snow in the park melted to show rather bedraggled crocus. The first I’ve seen this year. A welcome bit of colour on a drench day.

I enjoyed the Wordsworth, The Mutiny on the Bounty and Lake District background more than the actual plot.
Windscape a literacy resource for upper primary
Windscape is an exciting children’s adventure that explores the dilemma between the usefulness of wind farms and the beautiful scenery they can sometimes destroy.
Paul Murdoch, the author of Windscape has recorded the audio for each chapter, created learning material and made them available for free.
With Paul’s permission I’ve taken the resources and turned it into a Glow Blog.
Windscape – an exciting children’s adventure by Paul Murdoch
and a podcast to which you can subscribe on: apple or android.
I have already started using the resource with my class and am looking forward to continuing.
As the audio is a blog it is easy to change things, we are open to adding to the learning resources if anyone has ideas. You can get in touch through the site.
The snow is falling very gently. A ghost tree clasps the real tree like a bridegroom with a bride.

Used to be a copy paste job with iPhoto.
I’ve been getting fed up with not being able to get out for walks, or when I can they have been pretty busy even before it is light. I like a quiet walk. As it is half term we got up quite early and got to Ardinning around 8. No one else was there! Few more on Flickr
I have been a teacher for 32 years, a head teacher for 17 years and, at the age of 56, this much I know about what it feels like when you are criticised about your remote teaching. We don’t mine co…
I taught my Year 8 English class on Thursday afternoon. I have no need to tell you about how relatively rubbish it is to teach into the void that is TEAMS. We will look back on TEAMS the same way we (people of a certain age…) look back on BBC computers – that is, appalled/amazed at how basic and clunky they were.
Anyway, I eventually convinced a couple of students to speak (speaking students are gold dust, aren’t they?)
this is a lovely post. Not anything about Teams, but the current state of online learning, expectations and how it feels from a teacher’s POV.
