Election psyche
Posted in enthusiasm, history, stuff and things, tagged General Election 2010, voting on May 5, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Election Day tomorrow and I am so EXCITED! I’m aware that this probably makes me quite a sad individual, but honestly, it’s such a momentous event. Holding that stubby wee pencil with its tatty string is massively important to me. We always went along with our parents to vote, but had to wait outside and [...]
The Moon Stallion
Posted in archaeology, books, enthusiasm, reading, television / films, tagged Brian Hayles, Epona, Moon Stallion, toads, Uffington White Horse on October 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Finished it overnight, and it was as magical as I remembered the television programme to be. I remember being quite frightened watching it at the time (I’d have been about 9 years old, I think). I was interested to see what specifics stuck in my mind: the toad skeleton, the horse magic, the Celtic goddess [...]

P7 Open Night last night. I love it. A chance to meet new pupils. A chance to show what the LRC does. What this Librarian does. A great opportunity to help the pupils feel like high school can’t be too scary if that library wumman works there. And it was fun… but I can’t help [...]
SLF09: CANVAS
Posted in education, enthusiasm, For education, ICT, literacy, reading, resources, websites, tagged Art & Design, CANVAS, Glow, SLF09 on September 27, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I’m in love. I’m so much in love. The virtual world created for CANVAS is just stunning. The kids will love it too. We’ll never be able to get them out. Enough rambling. CANVAS (Children’s Art at the National Virtual Arena for Scotland) is a virtual art gallery created to house artworks from our schools. [...]
Public Monument and Sculpture Association
Posted in enthusiasm, exploring, websites, tagged PMSA, sculpture on September 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I love sculpture, in all its lunatic forms, so I love this PMSA website, which records loads of sculptures around the UK. It’s nowhere near complete, but the Glasgow section is fabulous, listing loads of instantly recognisable images and plenty of wee gems I hadn’t noticed before. I’m surprised that the Heavy Horse isn’t mentioned, [...]
Sensory development

I love seeing a project develop and grow tendrils and blossom in all sorts of directions. Teacher1 asked Teacher2 if she could create some A5 poetry cards for our sensory garden. T2 said there was no time. T1 asked me. I spoke to T3 about using LRC time. T3 amenable. Simple enough. But then the project [...]
Glowing

First day training as a Glow Mentor and I’m confused. Why are there no scones? In-service without scones just isn’t the done thing! Also, what’s the role of the website, if we’re all on the intranet? I see roles for both, it’s just figuring out what’s to go where, and what needs duplicated, and so [...]
Days 24, 25 Calderglen
Posted in archaeology, enthusiasm, exploring, Lanarkshire, photography, walks, tagged Calderglen, Calderwood Castle, one a day on January 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Shoved the weekend together cos both days we took the kids out to have a look at the sad non-remains of Calderwood Castle. That end of Calderglen seems sadly ignored, although obviously much loved by the locals and their dogs. In particular on Sunday we met a huge black beastie called Rocko. His owner claimed [...]
Day 2 – High Blantyre Viaduct
Posted in archaeology, discoveries, enthusiasm, exploring, Lanarkshire, photography, websites, tagged dismantled railways, Hidden Glasgow, High Blantyre, industrial archaeology, Live Search Maps, maps, one a day, viaduct on January 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What started me off on this hunt? Can’t remember exactly. I think I was trying to find out where the Calderwood Castle railway station had been, saw an amazing photo of a viaduct in Blantyre (which I can’t find now), and that got me researching. This is only a couple of miles away from where I grew up. [...]
