Three days of learning for Mr Dyer

Hello there Room 6,
I know that I will see you all in the morning, but just wanted to drop you a message to let you know what I have been up to.
Over the past two days I have seen three schools and am about to head off to number 4 in a few minutes. The schools that I have been welcomed into have given me many ideas and a lot to think about, which means that I have been learning a lot.
One school had no desks and the door between the next door class is never closed - the two teachers teach their own class then each others class then both classes at once.
Another school only two years old and their pods were the size of three classes, had three teachers and 65 children and everyone was so engaged - they even had bean bags in the staff room.
I will tell you more when I see you all tomorrow, but here are a few photos to give you an idea.
Enjoy your Tuesday

Pea plant update

We moved the planting to get more sunlight and it has been a week and a day. We have watered it, but only just enough, and the beginning of a seedling is poking through.
Maybe by the end of the weekend we will see a lot more?

Here is a question for you to ponder... If the peas were planted 8 days ago and the camera has taken 1 photo every 2 and a half hours, how many photos have been taken so far?

Awesome treat from Emma for Halloween

Mum and I decided to make ghost cupcakes since it was Halloween. Making the marshmallow ghost was difficult because it was to runny so we had to put it in the fridge and then wait for it to set before we could use the mixture.
