Well I Survved!
Ofsted was ok. I didn't get observed teaching and I was allowed to spend most of the day working with some of our children who are on the Gifted and Talented register for art, and also some who we thought would benefit from the opportunity to have a go at some large scale art work. We were, once again working on the epic wall mural! I MUST take some pictures as I am so pleased with how it is turning out. Most of the work is either done by the children or based around their art work and transferred to the wall by us. I was lucky to have my friend Alison come in to help during the painting session - infant children and paint brushes loaded with masonry paint are a nightmare waiting to happen! So thanks Alison (I know she occasionally reads my blog but she never posts!)
Overall we are happy with how the inspection went and are awaiting the official report!
On the ATDML front we have some sad news and some happy news. The cat is out of the bag regarding the Scrapgenie Design Team and the winners have been announced on the SG blog. Our Kirsty was one of the selected designers. As scrapgenie are operating an exclusive team it means we will sadly have to say goodbye to Kirsty, however as we stock loads of Scrapgenies products we know her work for the Scrapgenie DT will still help to inspire our customers and show them how to make great use of many of the products we stock.
The happy news is we have a fabulous replacement lined up. Hannah AKA Noodle will be joining us. She is a relative new comer although she already made a bit of a name for herself by winning Kirstys international Scrap Yourself challenge with an awesome layout.
We knew that we were losing Kirsty on Monday so we immediately thought of Hannah (she is also my UKS adopted daughter - I am so proud!) and she accepted on Monday night but because the Scrapgenie DT was supposed to be a secret until then we have had to keep quiet! But now we can get all excited!
We also have some plans afoot to make some changes to the site and improve the resources available. Our aim is to make the site not just a shopping site but also a place where you can get ideas and inspiration for a whole range of scrap related projects.
