Goodbye, or rather “so long and thanks for all the fish”!! (from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy).
There are some good creative contributions here from you as a group. I really do hope you keep your blog alive over the next two years -creativity – memories – thoughts – comment and opinion - self expression.
I wish you all the very best in your next two years. I have enjoyed working with you this year and seeing your creativity flourish. May it continue to grow with energy, passion and caring.

group presentations and bits
Not the most subtle of satirists , of cartoon, but sharp and incisive.... for the Sunday Times.
And now it is almost time to say goodbye, next week... in the meantime, criteria for your group oral presentations:
PREPARATION and ORGANISATION
CONTENT - interest
DELIVERY – voice projection, eye contact
LANGUAGE USE
SUPPORT tools – Power point etc
Looking forward to your creative work.

G.I. Jane
The ebb and flow of the Atlantic tides, the drift of the continents, the very position of the sun along its ecliptic. These are just a few of the things I control in my world. Is that clear?
(Taken from G.I. Jane, directed by Ridley Scott, 1997)

Everything But The Girl - Get Me
I'm a stone inside a box,
I'm a spring inside a clock,
you can wear me on your wrist
and I'll tell you things ten thousand times,
but do you ever get me?
(The song "Get Me" is included on Everything But The Girl's album "Amplified Heart")
