A little bit about me!
My name is Mike Watson and I am a Y3 teacher, numeracy and DT subject leader in the UK.
I have been an ‘Acting’ Deputy Head, ICT Co-Ordinator and Assessment Co-Ordinator.
I have been teaching for 8 years and am currently teaching a Year 3 class, after a move from Year 6 in September 2008.
I have only recently got into this blogging lark and really see it’s potential – my class love it, and have discovered it as a real home school link – they love to see their work, pictures, and things that are happening in school there for all to see, parents seem to be becoming keener too!
I decided to start this blog up and see where it takes me really.
Resources, Ideas, Links, Activities – who knows?
A chance for people to communicate and share too!
Thanks for stopping by, invite your colleagues and friends!
If there is something you think I can help with or you would like to see, just let me know and I will try to help you out – that’s what this is for I guess!

Greetings Mr Watson,
I’m a Pastor here in the USA. I’m presently putting together a series based on Rome and the Roman Soldier for an up coming Bible conference.
I would love to use your photo as the Centurian and make a 6 foot banner as well. Will that be ok?
Do you have the photo in a High Resolution about 300dpi file? If you do can you send it to this email:
AnthonyPonceti@aol.com
or
GoalsMentoring@aol.com
If not, perhaps you can send me a 8X10 high color photo.

Good afternoon,
I am still around, but with a change in personal circumstances, the birth of my daughter and a general lack of time, I haven’t been able to get onto the blog and do any adding or editing!
In response to you question about the picture – feel free, it was only the result of a Google Image Search, so I have no rights to the image, and while the offer of compensation is both very kind (and very tempting!), there is no need whatsoever.
I have only the image used here, so I can’t help you with a High Res version, sorry.
All the best
Mike Watson

Really impressed with all the info on your site. I am running an Inset with our staff on monday and will point them in this direction – we are trying to establish a creative curriculum (that old chestnut again!), would love to hear more on how you plan your topics and what format this takes. xxx Thanks for all you hard work!
miksherlock said
I think I plan them like anyone else!
Start with the theme and work out – then sort into loose curriculum areas and crossovers.
Then I Google it!!
