Today marked the end, in some cases.
Firstly I had my last ever lessons with two of my Y11 classes. I usually feel a bit sad when we get to this stage, especially when I’ve taught the kids for a long time. Not this time. I wonder why?
Then the end of an era – GCSE maths coursework is going, going, gone. We sorted out and packaged up our last ever sample of work for moderation today. I should have felt relieved, or something, at the end of this annual chore, but I didn’t. It just felt like any other day at work.
The best part of today was sitting outside in the garden when I got home from work. I enjoyed doing that.
I know of several schools where this current Y11 are a nightmare. What happened the year they were born?
More sun for the weekend. Enjoy. And think of those little ‘orrors having to revise 🙂
