I thought of this video also when I read your post Emily! It’s quite uncomfortable watching these cats in a zero/low gravity environment. Whatever happens, I hope that some of our furry friends would be able to make the transition to Mars – how to make the journey possible/comfortable? That’s a good question.

Using dry ice as a cooling agent for a computer is an innovative idea and it’s great to see that it was a success. It’s always exciting to see a project come together and work as planned.

I’m impressed by the materials you used in your project. Copper is a good choice for the pipe because it is a good conductor of heat and will transfer the…

Teach Your Monster to Read – UK based & free synthetic phonics program. They can play on the iPad or PC. Kids from as young as 2 enjoy it – starts similarly to the Jolly Phonics & Letters and Sounds programs – SATPIN etc.

I’ve just looked it up – the protagonist in Daddy is 11 years old. This makes better sense considering the storyline. It’s hard to find but worth looking for – one of those gems. My copy has long since disappeared – I’ll need to try and find it myself now!

I thought of another novel with similar themes – Daddy by Loup Durand. It was translated and printed in English. There is a theme interwoven, comparing every decision to that of a chess move. The protagonist is 5 or 6 years old from memory (a genius obsessed with chess) – this is why I associate it with Enders Game.

Daddy is based during…

Ryan’s suggestion worked a treat today. There were a couple of students who were ‘stuck’ and ‘couldn’t think of anything’ to write. Both chose to do this activity as an alternative and flew with it. It got their pencils moving on the page and I noticed sentences coming which were surprisingly complex and impressive. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻

Thanks for replying Ryan. What a wonderful idea to approach it from this angle and reframe the entire process into something more creative. I will try that with them this week.

I have been thinking a lot about how to best facilitate a love of writing in my students. I would estimate that around a quarter of my class at the outset of each year, begin with a negative mindset about ‘writing’. They appear to judge their attempts harshly and are concerned with spelling things correctly – both of which actively block their…
