Learning up to the Easter holidays.....

Easter holidays at last.....both staff and students alike are ready for the 2 week break! We've all made it and despite the tiredness kicking in, it's been another week of learning! 

Takeaway homework has made an appearance this week with much thanks to the very talented @TeacherToolkit and also stop animations! I acquired a science based Takeaway Homework and made some very slight adjustments.   I am initially trailing it with my Yr10 chemistry group, who on the surface thought it was very exciting that they could chose their own homework! I have given them a 3 week deadline to compete 3 different tasks.  Looking forward to the results! My lovely colleague, Jo, showed me how to use stop animations and I'm really looking forward to giving it a go after the Easter holidays with my classes.  I am initially thinking it would be a good way to revise topics that involve molecules. 

Over ther Easter break, I will be catching up on some sleep, but also looking into different apps that I will be able to use in the classroom.  Initial thoughts are using some for revision: Socrative, Stop animations and Popplet!
