On a different note...

I've decided to keep a track of books I'm reading on my blog, since I now HAVE a blog.
It'll be my teacher training books (what I'm reading and if it's any good), my fiction and anything I read to my 5 yr old too.

So, TT book - Numeracy Skills Test - Passing QTS (Achieving QTS).
This is a book just about passing the Numeracy Skills Test. It gives examples of how to do things (briefly) such as changing fractions to percentages and then gives sample questions. It's pretty good for practicing extra questions but the explanations of how to do the sums can be a confusing. I think the bbc bitesize website is better for actually learning how to do the sums, but doing the questions will give me much more confidence. Eventually.

My fiction - Cross Stitch by Diana Gabaldon. So far I'm enjoying it. I've read loads of Barbara Erskine (who I love) and was told that Gabaldon was similar (historical/supernatural/also set in modern times).

Kids books - We are reading George's Marvellous Medicine which is just about holding his 5 yr old's attention, but today I bought him Mr Wolf's Pancakes. It's a picture book and is very funny. We all enjoyed it as a family. Good choice!
