Here's what you missed

Here I am on the outskirts of London (you know the place with all the big buildings and fancy billboards on either side of the road), having had a bit of a nap and more mini-cheddars.
So where was I? Oh yes, let's bring you up to date with what's happened this past year:

DCF
Progress on implementing the DCF has not been as good as I'd have liked. Pressures on me, pressures on my colleagues, lack of time.

New Curriculum for Wales
In May of last year I joined the group of fellow teachers and experts working on communicating the Donaldson Report into a curriculum for Wales. In retrospect, I wish I'd blooded about this from this very beginning, as it's proven to be a challenge for so many reasons.

To be continued, as I'm not far from Victoria Station...

Hello again

Has it really been that long since I blogged last? So much for my target of doing this regularly.
As I write, it's 5.50am Sunday morning, and I'm London-bound for the first leg of my journey to Poix-Saint-Hubert, where I am going to attend a series of robotics workshops provided by ESA.
This is an exciting opportunity for me on several levels. I'm riding the Megabus for the first time (hark at me, living large on the Megabus, how lah-di-dah!), I'll be travelling via Eurostar for the first time (Standard Premier - now you're talking), and going to Belgium for the first time. So armed with my essential technology, all the Mini-cheddars I can carry, and a smattering of 20 year old GCSE French, je vais au Belgique!

I will use this journey to bring you up to speed on the many things that have happened since last I spoke, seeing that I'll be travelling for the next 14 hours. But for now, I'm feeling a bit sick from staring at my phone whilst the bus is moving, so adieu, mes amis.
