Welcome

1. During September/October of last year within the aim of fortnightly attendance as a volunteer, I ran two science lessons but classroom availability involved the fire escape.   
2. 
   
3. My resources at the time included a train set, a 'normal' website of several years, and a large blog.
4. 
   
5. New readers can dig deep but it's best to forget last year.
6. 
   
7. In the hope that we can restart on a weekly basis regarding pupils, a new blog has been created.  It shows the different approach used - a week or so at at time.
8.  
9. Parents will have access to their own blog here if the school agrees and it is hoped for fruitful involvement.  
10. 
    
11. Within the new situation of SP not being available it is hoped that her stand-in and I will work together.  Some email.   
12. 
    
13. The process last time involved me showing the school a lesson plan in advance of a lesson.  This mini-blog does that. Pupils are informed that this is about to happen here. First example here.
14. 
    
15. Pupils were enthusiastic about a train set last time.  Calling it a Science Club meant that twelve pupils attended and perhaps six were able to drive the train during each lesson.  Too many.
16. 
    
17. With a whole class, only two max can drive on any day which means a new approach.
18. 
    
19. Item 5 is key to the new approach and the teacher will know which pupils would benefit most.  Also which pupils tend towards unruliness.
