Working Together

By Mr Gray, Wednesday, 27th January, 2010

This year I am working with an extra staff member on my grade, a result of two teachers sharing a part-time load.

It was very nice, but not necessary  :-)   , of this teacher when she gave us a little personalised notepad. Funnily enough, all the women I’ve shown it to have laughed out loud.

The notepad came also with a note, of which I quite liked the quote that was written:

Paul,

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

Looking forward to 2010

Jemma

Very nice.

Barbie Site – Not Appropriate???

By Mr Gray, Wednesday, 20th January, 2010

These ads are becoming too much – this came my way via Twitter, and shows why you can’t think everything is OK because the children are on a “child” site. Supervision is still required. Take a look at the ad that appeared on Barbie.com recently.

Facebook & Internet Safety

By Mr Gray, Friday, 15th January, 2010

Another News Report which came across my screen, this time about Parents who took control of and posed as their 11yr old daughter on Facebook to trap a pervert. Very worrying and something all parents and teachers need to be aware of – Internet Safety has to become everyone’s business.

Kids’ Top 100 Searches of 2009

By Mr Gray, Friday, 15th January, 2010

From Norton, comes this report of the top 100 searches for 2009.

Youtube, Google and Facebook come in for the top three, nothing surprising there perhaps.

But the 4th and 5th most popular search term may be a bit more worrying.
