Calories and Exercise Funnies

19 Jun

I finished my report cards last week so I rewarded myself with a weekend of doing nothing.

I had a marathon viewing of Grand Designs and spent some time on Pinterest.

At the moment I am trying to be really good with food and exercise and I’m sure pinterest was trying to weaken me.

Check out the somecards I found on the topic of diet and exercise.

Education in Finland

12 Jun

I have always heard great things about education in Finland.

In fact I don’t recall every hearing a bad a word about their system.

I found this on Pinterest the other day.

Food for thought, Australia.

Play is Learning

5 Jun

Today is Wordless Wednesday!

I love this saying.  Although it is talking about a 3 year old, I believe the message is applicable to all kids in the Early Years.

I have the motto in my classroom: Play allows kids to practice and explore what they have learnt. So let’s lose the chalk and talk and worksheets!

iPad Inservice

29 May

On Monday I was soooooooo excited as I got to go to an iPad inservice for school.

The guy running it was excellent and the school he teaches at has one to one iPads for Year 1 and 2 (it’s on their book list!). How amazing is that? Ahh, that would be my dream.  My classroom only has 4.

Anyway for those that are interested these are the apps that he showed us.  What I loved best about them was that they all were CREATING apps, not games.

This term we have been using iMovie to film documentaries about ourselves for history (we had a Movie Premiere with our parents yesterday).

I am now dreaming of what I can get my class to do next term while using the iPads.  Maybe a time lapse video or a book trailer or an ibook!

Dinner and a Movie

15 May

On the weekend my husband and I did the classic dinner and a movie date.

I picked the restaurant and he picked the movie.

We ended up with a bit of a mix.

For dinner we went to the Sushi Train.  It was the first time we had been there and we loved it! It is definitely a place we will go back to.

As for the movie – we went to see Ironman 3.

The movie was pretty good – it may have been better if I had actually seen Ironman 1 and 2 (although according to my husband I had).
