Work ideas

I have been inspired by random encounters over the last few days. I think I might dig out my mum's old typewriter for spelling practise in class. The weight of the letter compared to the weight of a computer keyboard might be good for developing fine motor strength and also quite fun with immediate results.
Listening to Neil gaiman last night also proved inspirational but I think I would need an older grade. He read a story that was just answering questions and the whole time I was just imagining the questions. This would be a great exercise for kids but I'm not sure of the age group... I might just have to try it.

Holidays again

My idea to regularly post fell way by the wayside due to the manic nature of the year. Thankfully the holidays have rolled around again so I have time to dabble in a bit of fun. My new years resolution. Regular posting.
