school website yourself. What will you write today's school news to be?Archive page for Tuesday, 21 November 2006
Tu, Nov 21, 2006Do other schools have any news?
The Head at Llandudno's Craig y Don, 
does such a good job in keeping everybody informed of the news that comes out of his school, that I wonder if anything at all happens at other schools.
If a tree falls in a forest... See answer six. "No, because sound is made in our brains, and if no one is near then there is no noise... I learned that in psychology this summer, it is hard to explain!"
Good girl football team news.
School trip to support Wales—the football team in Wrexham.
Save The Children raises £1284 which means the Head gets a baldie!
Sports Person of the Year awarded to a pupil at the school.

More pictures in via email
Sue, an up and coming teacher's pet of mine... Erm... that should read, "ICT Sue, my new sys op pet," has finally figured out how to send plain text emails. This is the only caveat with my email to blog thingy.
She's also discovered some other 'quirks.' That is, the order of the pictures is important. When one sends images as attachments in an email to another person, the order isn't important. In telling a picture story, on a blog, it is. Very important. My scripts take the order that the attachments have been added. That is, add the first image in your story, first. The last, last.
Also, certain characters aren't allowed in file names (which become comments). For example, these characters aren't allowed: / : * ? " < > | The question mark is a great pity. I can replace quotes with apostrophes. And I'd have liked to have tried putting HTML in my file names too :-) Still, the comments can be edited later—natch.
Oh well. The rest is just great. Once Sue had it working for her and her email addresses, she says it's, "god, that's easy!"

A Head's weblog
BBC: What does a head do all day?: "0820 Arrive in school, caretaker catches me in carpark to let me know about damage to grounds from unauthorised bonfire..."
It's a one off, pity it wasn't everyday, for ever. Yeah, I know it'd take too much time... Just saying.
Bullying week links
BBC: Boost for bullying mentor scheme: "The pupils selected are usually older and well-respected by their peers, and are seen as suitable role models for younger children. They will often wear specially identifiable clothing or badges and will act as go-betweens to resolve conflicts between students. Crucially they allow pupils, who may not wish to talk to a teacher directly, to report incidents of bullying to them instead."
Guardian: Johnson warns of £1,000 fines for parents of bullies: "Education: Parents of schoolyard bullies face £1,000 fines, education secretary warns."
Yorkshire Post: Teachers warn of classroom yobs, aged 5 "Teachers meeting in York complained they have to deal with children who think nothing of biting, thumping and scratching to get their way. Mrs Milner, said: "The problem isn't getting any better, it appears to be getting worse. Many of these incidents are starting when these children come into school at five years old."
