Beautiful Sea Creatures
10/11/2008 by Chris Prettejohn.
We know more about the surface of the earth than we do of our own ocean. What other astonishing animals are there lying undiscovered?
These beautiful animals are called Nudibranchs which are soft bodied, shell-less molluscs or their scientifc term of sea slugs. When you see how beautiful some of them are you’ll realise how I find it amazing that they belong to the same group of animals that eat all the plants in my garden.

How good is your punctuation?
01/11/2008 by Chris Prettejohn.
Anything that’s fun and educational is a winner for me. Lynee Truss has been the high priestess of punctuation for some time and her book Eats, Shoots and Leaves a national succerss. Persoanlly I’ve never been able to work out where the apostrophe goes on Jesus’s’ Sandal’s’ ! This quiz will hopefully teach me!

No more textbooks??
15/10/2008 by Chris Prettejohn.
I predict in 5 years time we won’t be issuing text books to students and they won’t be lugging around heavy rucksacks. Instead they’ll have a plastic textbook reader which will store all theri books and magazines. I can’t wait for a paperless system!! The BBC has an interesting review here

Timeline Software

I like the look of this Mnemograph Timeline Software. It could be used with a range of activities especially Case Study revision. How about plotting a Natural Hazard time line?

A changing skyline - Toronto
28/07/2008 by Chris Prettejohn.
Visited this city 3 years ago with a group of 6th Formers. Great place. People friendly and the snow in the city was great. Felt very safe although in contrast to New York it also seemed to go to sleep at about 6pm each nigh.
