The school I work in has started introducing The Creative Curriculum. To cut a long story short, let me explain..
The Creative Curriculum is a thematic approach to learning and teaching, designed to support children’s natural curiosity and stimulative their creative abilities. It puts a high value on direct experience and the learning experiences that the [...]

Have The T-Shirt’s recent post has inspired me! With the dismal cloud of Christmas looming over us, I’m going to follow in her footsteps, and make a list for Santa!
This isn’t a list of presents I’m going to buy other people, nor is it a list of presents I’d like. It’s a list of (mostly [...]

I can’t believe it’s September already.. This year has flown by..
If you’re celebrating the start of Ramadan today – may you have a blessed Ramadan Mubarak.
If you’re not, keep this quote from the Qur’an in mind anyway..

This site contains a (strangely, horizontal..) list of polaroid pictures of real people, each with a caption that states what that person would like to do before they die.
Here are some of my favourites polaroids from the site..

What do you want to do before you die?

Some people never cease to amaze you..
I bumped into a girl I went to school with, in the pet shop this morning. I was keen to get the polite greetings over with, and just get on with buying cat litter. She, however, wanted to have a full-on recount of the past God-know-how-many years [...]

Ms. Naughty Hates the Money Shot (and so do I!)..

To me, virtual/online worlds conjure up images of freedom…
I’ve never participated in a community in Second Life – but after reading about SL in various media articles, I gave in and checked it out.
If I’m going to be brutally honest, it looked horribly boring.. A game without rules and restrictions, or a fancy, pixelated [...]

I came across this post whilst browsing my WordPress tags.. It documents this post, where a white male talks about his first dating experience with a black female.
He describes how people reacted to them walking down a street together – ‘examining us for clues” [re: why they're together] – and how these reactions would [...]
