INCREDIBLE BLOGGING

Have a look at this clip of my blog page count hit since Mid May 2009.  I know that nearly 2000 hits is really good for an Edublog in 6 months BUT…

Look at the real HITS we have had!

Look at the real HITS we have had!

8,500 page views with over half of them people who come back to the site – that means that TmT is being used on average 47 times a day and 1,400 times a month!!!

Add this to the thousands of hits the TmT YouTube site has and i think we have made Edublogging a MASSIVE success in JP.

A big big thank you all from Mr B.

Good News S4


Just a wee message to Mr B’s S4 Craft & Design class. You ALL PASSED your General Prelim. That makes Mr B happy, cos I don’t need to mark 20 foundy papers!

Well done to my S4! The hard work starts NOW!

UNBELIEVABLE SATELLITE IMAGES

Recent images of Bondi Beach in Australia show a massive school of sharks cruising just meters from swimmers.  The the Hi-Res imagesHERE

Amost there guys……………

xmasmeWhat a last few weeks we had!  My pupils are now well into the ‘Jesus’ First Christmas’ Graphics unit of work and i can already see some cracking posters developing in class.  Keep up the good work guys!

Our classroom has had an upgrade courtesy of the S5/S6 HPD class – the guys are responsible for the new Product display area below the Cool Wall and the re-designed pupil display of work wall.  It seemed to impress the HIM inspectors when they ALL came to visit our classroom.  Well done to the HPD team.

Sticking with HPD, we are visiting XScape this Monday to observe ‘Structural Changes In The Built Environment’ – NAH we’re not, we are on a Christmas Outing to reward the Team for all their hard work and to congratulate them all for passing their first NAB on the course.

As i write this i am hoping ALL S4 C & D pupils are studying hard for their prelim tomorrow afternoon.  The Podcasts and notes on here should help them out a LOT!!!

A final thanks to you guys for supporting my new hair style!  Anyone who has seen me will have noticed i’ve shaved off the trademark spikes for a while.  Your comments were all (apart from 2) lovely.

Stay tuned to TmT over the next 2 weeks for the latest pics and posts from our school festivities.  I will also be posting the winner of the Christmas Competition very soon…?
