Some important Mathematics

Seniors and S4 students!

As if you didn't need any more influence to start studying here are some important numbers for you

40 (ish) school days left until the exam leave
33 (ish) school days until the Easter break

So you can really see that you need to start studying ASAP!

A long overdue update

It's been absolutely ages since I've updated the blog .. for one simple reason!

We have been really busy over the last few months for the schools HMIE inspection. It was last week and early indications are that the school did very well, the Faculty of ICT are certainly very happy with the feedback we received from the main inspector David Martin.

Can now manage to get back to a degree of normality in school without everyone talking about HMI constantly

Our senior students have now gone on study leave for their exam and I would like to wish them all the best in their prelims. Out departments is tomorrow and we are hopeful that everyone gets a great grade (or realises that they need to put in a lot more effort YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!)

So thats about it, managed to make it up to Glencoe snowboarding with my friends on Saturday, absolutely fantastic snow, shame about the conditions - but being an avid snowboarding fan I know not to expect too much from the home resorts!

Going up again on Saturday and if you are too see you there! (just make sure any homework is finished first!)

10 Days to Go!

We are in the middle of the move! The teachers desks have moved down to modular accomodation and we are currently living out of a few boxes!

You would think we would be on the "wind down" for Christmas, but its gung ho! with everything! The move, Discos, Prelims, Coursework and HMI coming in! Eventful times!

I think we are all desperate for the holidays to come!

10 to go!

In the spirit of adventure

I was walking the other day, and whilst walking I was thinking (simultaneously disproving the theory that men can't multi-task) I hadn't had a fantastic idea in ages ...

the wii is probably the biggest let down in a console ever - shall it ever reach the dizzy heights of the sega master system and Golden Axe. and then it hit me (walked straight into a door, proving the theory that men probably can't multi-task) and as I was casually trying to pretend i meant it I seen some of our young people playing the most addictive game since pogs.

So I have now invented the wii Chippy (also known as Jingles, tens etc ... )

An Overdue Update

Busy busy times in the Grammar of Hamilton - preparing for prelim exams, courseworks and parent's nights. Trying to squeeze in some extra time to shop for Chrimblemas Presento's!

Got the best news ever from the Geography Department who invited me on their trip to the USA! The trip is just absolutely outstanding, the different things that are in the itenerary are just out of this world. Will clearly strip the Family Trip to Butlin's '03 as "The Best Holiday" Ever!

Now taking suggestions for American themed songs for making up day tripper CD's!

Money Crisis!?

How can Spurs afford to pay £15 million to pay off Jaunde Ramos and more compenstation to Portsmouth for the services of Harry Redknapp and continue to function normally!

I hate these over paid footballers! If I was playing for Spurs (or anyone) I'd play for free.

On a totally unrelated topic: Yellow.
