Overmonnow Primary School, Monmouth – Day 2
A delightful day of lessons with the pupils and staff at Overmonnow Primary School.
What a special group of teachers and a delightful group of children.
They all picked up many of the “subliminal” ideas, around the edge of the technology, including our “posh eyebrows” when encountering new vocabulary…
I browse…
I have often said that eyebrows are the most powerful tool to aid expression, convey meaning, or have a bit of a laugh!
When asked to choose my Top 5 Resources for Teachers Magazine I chose Expressive eyebrows, (“Eyebrows are a wonderful invention. As a bald bloke, I find that they can be the most powerful tool when working with a class. I can so easily show surprise, disappointment, delight and enjoyment. Who needs to shout when your eyebrows speak?”) alongside A wireless laptop, ‘The Hat’, A large cupboard, and “Magnificent obsessions” outside school.
An article in the Independent even began with a reference to my fascination with the furry features.
For some fun, furry eye-deas…
As well as our events, we like to share interesting, and more often than not, FREE tools, resources and ideas, some old, some new, and we hope you might find something useful. We'd love your thoughts. Tim & Sarah
