It’s been 6 months since I last posted on this weblog but believe me, being a primary school teacher and a blogger is not as easy as it seems. I got swamped with work in order to maintain and improve the recently improved results of the last Ofsted inspection and had no energy (or time) to post.

I’ve recently arrived from Brazil where I spent all the summer holidays with my family and friends. I really needed to get away from this frantic routine. The school is still being refurbished and the last two days were a mix of dust, messy rooms and endless ICT jobs to be done. I will truly come back to real life tomorrow, when children restart school. Until the next summer holidays I will continue to dream with the blue skies of southern Brazil and the marvellous sunset of Guaiba river, in Porto Alegre.

It’s been a while since I closed down my previous personal blog and got rid of my domain. I got fed up of writing about my life and decided to use other more private online tools to keep in touch with friends and family. But I still think that having a weblog is a great thing, especially when you have the time and really want to maintain it.

I decided to create this weblog for professional reasons only and nowadays I do not feel obliged to update it on a regular basis (though it might be a good idea to check it from time to time). I will post issues concerning my teaching practice, research interests and update the other pages on the top menu.

PS. I’m currently on holidays, but getting ready to fly to Germany soon and attend AILA 2008.
