The Aardvark Speaks...

It's a busy time down at the SonicMattC headquarters. It is May, the month that most teachers do not remember as they struggle to swim above the reports, tests, etc. that come flooding their way. However, after a solid 3 days of staring at my computer screen writing about the cherubs in my class, it was time to take time out and get this web site going again. Thank you to one of the very keen in my class who asked me when I was going to put the Aardvark Mnemonics on the site. She'll make a great teacher.

Well, they're here! Click on to Matt in Education and the Aardvark will be ready to speak to you!

Other news - the garden is shooting up and turning green and all sorts of colours. Mrs A. came to join us last Thursday evening when we were watering and weeding to see what we were doing. She was so impressed that she wanted to help, so she'll be joining us next half term. In fact, she'll she taking over the garden next school year - luckily the Garden Volunteers are very well trained so they will be able to help her out.

This was done after a long talk with the Mini-Garden Hippo. He is very pleased that Mrs A will be coming. He is very accepting of changes - he has lived through many, far more than any one at the school will be able to remember.

But, like myself, the Mini-Garden Hippo will tell news when it is ready to be told.

It's back...

Just as you thought it was safe to switch the computer back on...

After a LONG abscence, due to technical difficulties (all thanks to company that used to provide me with an internet service, who then didn't, and carried on not doing so, so I had to find another company who would - etc. Long story. I'll save it for the camp fire....) all is well and happy and back where it should be.

Things are moving fast. It's May already. Lots of walks have been done. The garden is growing. The ideas are still flowing.

The website will hopefully reflect some of this as and when I get time to spend on it.

As for the future... more to come on that as and when the time is right.
