Welcome to My Jungle!

One week down

It's always difficult going back to school after the summer break for
a number of reasons. Anxiety about what the year will bring,
apprehension about what your classes will be like and the realisation
that you've got the toughest half term of the school year coming up.
For me it was a good feeling in a way as I now felt part of the school
despite being there since January. Starting a fresh year here felt
good and the two training days left me feeling really positive.

The teaching began soon enough and familiar faces started flooding
into ICT03. My first treat was my form, I am now the proud form tutor
of 12E, a really nice bunch of the new 6th form.

A strange feeling was knowing business was NOT on my timetabe, really
pleased about that. Instead I have Y12 & Y13 Media which is great, I
also have a Welsh Bac lesson with Y12 delivering the enterprise module
initially which is superb as it's on the same lines as Liverpool
Curriculum I did with 13N at Eirias.

All this packed into a busy week that saw Mary and I celebrate our
5th wedding anniversary. How time flies. Upon reflection you really
don't have any idea about whats waiting for you around the corner, I
still can't believe what we have achieved in the last half decade.

Moved to London, worked in the City for 18 months, done a PGCE each,
started careers in teaching, moved back to Wales, had a baby, changed
schools, Mary left teaching and started her own baby music classes
business and here we are. In the famous words of Ferris Bueller "Life
moves pretty fast, if you don't stop to look around once in a while,
you could miss it."

Here's to whatever life throws at me next cos I sure as he'll can't
plan for it!!

Also, congratulations to Craig who got his computing degree this week,
lots of hard work paid off, well done!
