Great, great disaster of a lesson today. Took the children into the garden for a hands-on approach to understanding the natural world. Little Jamie found a half dead slug (mangled previously by a year three class I think) and threw it at little Lucy, who screamed, a lot. She in turn threw mud back, missing little Jamie – whose dodging tactics will make a great footballer of him yet - and getting not-so-little Dylan, whose mother terrifies me and who I will now have to explain about the whole sticky-mud-on-the shirt fiasco.

Next week they’ll be looking at pictures of leaves on black and white print outs. That’ll learn them. If I can ever get to the photocopier that is.
