Timo

I found this picture that my grandaughter drew when she was 4. Lots of things still remind me of Timo - there's at least 3 or 4 things each day.

Fellowship

I officially start at Scion on Feb 1 after I have been to Wellington.Its starting to feel real at last -I can hardly wait for it all to start.

Christmas

My grandson took this photo of my nativity set which I set up for Christmas.

Reflection

I have been looking at some of the posters past Royal Society teaching Fellows have done about their work. I wonder what I will do.
It looks as if the start is the day on the 28 Jan 2011 called a symposium. I am going to have to look that word up as I don't know what it means (now there's a good start!!).
Good old google - I now know a symposium is a meeting or conference for discussion of a topic, especially one in which the participants form an audience and make a presentation. There is another symposium at the end on 15 July.
I put in the monarchs to remind me about lost ones who I am missing at this time of the year.

Holidays

Its taking a while to unwind after such a full on year -lots of low points so I am looking forward to 2011 as it can only get better. My holidays will largely be minding my family's animals while they go away for 25 days. I dont mind as i was doing nothing else. I like Porter the sausage dog and I will take her for lots of walks (which will be good for both of us.) Parrot and Chardonny (cats), 5 goldfish and Smokey the rabbit are not too much work.

Inquiry and science

I have just seen a post on BH's blog about an inquiry classroom. I am going to work hard in 2011 from term 3 to have a classroom like that. I will collect all sorts of interesting goodies to have in my inquiry room.

I finally posted my surfer photo and had a look at a few of the brillant photos. I see Helen Clark has taken part.I really need to take better photos. I tried to set up a wiki for my fellowship work but ran into problems with my first photo. I will ask for help.
