Earth day

Today started with a presentation to highlight the problems with a variety of factors relating to Earth day. Sadly like so many presentations a serious subject was presented with humour which made the overall message a watered down version of what they should have said. The students aren't stupid far from it, so why try to highlight something deemed very important and then pull all the punches and lace it with humour that was lost on the kids.

There was a message but it could have been a great opportunity for the school to draw similarities between large scale global events and small scale school events and show how every one should do their bit. An opportunity lost.

Fortunately that was the ONLY class I lost so the day was far more normal than expected.

Over all the last couple of days have been really good the kids have been working (Though its grading time so they feel they should, albeit wrongly as its far too late to show off now with the grades already in the system.)

And now we work down to Next Wednesday which will be Parents Evening and also the end of the Month.

2 good days down and tomorrow is short periods but with only 2 classes it isnt a complete loss.

Catch you all tomorrow.
