Chasing Cars does have beautiful lyrics - I am glad there's other people out there who appreciate the same stuff as I do!!!

Last week of term - 3 & a half days left to go, and I am looking forward to it, but in a way will probably miss it for two whole weeks. It is quite a long time, but I don't think I'll change much in that time!

I have also been given my lesson material for the remainder of term, at least for KS3 - it comes in DVD form, and is otherwise known as 'the Grinch', and though I might be sick to the eye teeth of it by the end of the week, I'll watch it over & over again because I've been told to by my head of department, and who am I to disagree?!

Didn't say when I blogged on Friday, but I did my first assembly for Year 9. I got a clap for it & everything! Talked to them about Mary (Jesus' mum) and Muhammad (pbuh), and how they were both brave enough to change the world. I said that I wasn't asking them to change the world, but was asking them to spend the holiday thinking about any part of themselves that may need changing in the new school term. Afterwards, I had quite a few kids come up to me and tell me that it was a 'sick' assembly, which I am assured does mean 'good'(!); I was quite pleased... Only 2 of us have got a clap for our assemblies this term!

Not much else to say, really, but what / where is Galway Bay? (It's in Fairytale of New York - another good song - by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl...)
