Have you arrived here, looking for some Funology ? If you have, you can find my old new site by clicking here https://jennylegerfunology.com/
My newly vamped website should be active over the summer. Watch this space for news of when that will happen.
The hustle and bustle of the “rentrée” is now over and we are into a kind of routine for the new school year. We have now met our classes and are getting to know our students and them us. Down to work now. Another school year with all that this promises to bring.
I have been working on Funology and the power of colour for many years now. My first course which had any connection to Funology was in 2009 and that was long before it became known as Funology. It is a methodology that has built up over time and through experimenting with students and teachers alike. It continues to evolve even after all this time. Join me on my specific Funology blog by clicking on the FUNOLOGY tab above.
It sure has been a very long time since I last wrote a post on my blog. Time goes by, life happens, grandchildren get born … did I mention I am now a Granny ?? And the next thing you know, you haven’t contributed to your sleeping blog for a very long time !!
Approaching the month of June is one of my favourite times of the year. It is time to take stock of what we have achieved over the past 9 months of learning and to prepare for the new projects ahead in September. I always have plenty of those !!
Just a few more lessons left before the end of the school year so lots of thinking as to how to optimize what time is left. This year, I am takiing the time, at the end of each assignment, to reflect on how it has gone and how it could be improved for next year. By writing the details for the assignment at this point of the year, my ideas are fresh as to what has worked and what hasn’t. Fixing your final task before you get started on the actual teaching. Do as I say, not as I do ? I think not !! Practice what I preach – that is more like it !!
At this stage of the year, lots of time to think and the new ideas should appear here progressively. Watch this space, as they say !!
For my students, right in the thick of all they have to complete before the end of the semester, this is a tough time of year. Hang on in there, keep the post-its going and there will be light at the end of the tunnel. You can do this !!

“Well,” said the Queen to the little bear “where do you go from here?”
“I am not sure your Majesty” Paddington Bear answered with a tear.
“You see, the Browns have all grown up and gone on their separate ways.”
Paddington continued “I am now homeless as I have nowhere else to stay.”
“Well, my little friend” the Queen replied to him “this will never do at all.
“I too am all alone. You can move into my palace. I’m sure we will have a ball.”
The little bear looked up and asked “Will there be marmalade, dear Queen?”
“Of course,” she replied. “The biggest spread of sandwiches you’ve ever seen.
And cups of tea and crockery that you can drop and I will never never mind.”
The little bear replied “Your Majesty I accept your offer. You are very, very kind.”
PS – Stronger together
Always a fan – always happy to celebrate a Royal event. We had a tea party in my classroom for the Golden Jubilee with pupil-made bunting. I managed to convince some of my pupils that I was invited to the Royal Wedding for William and Kate. I have my various pictures of the members of the Royal Family around my classroom and office. And every year group is treated to my chapter on the book “The Queen’s Hat”, complete with my royal doll and guardsman. So this year, celebrating the Platinum Jubilee is just awesome … loads of bunting, a good Victoria Sponge and scones, served with lashings of tea in my best bone china. What better way to celebrate ??!!
