Joseph tells his story of suffering

We had none other than Joseph from the Old Testament in the classroom along with his brothers to tell us all about his life of suffering and how it was used for the saving of many lives - including his own undeserving family.

An amazing story.

7 Xylophonics speak...

wiyw podcast 15 - 8thOct08

7 Xylophonics hurt my ears with chaotic worldview ramblings. Actually it was pretty interesting as we discussed the influence of violent games and sarcastic soaps.

The audio is up on the podcast page if you are interested in a cut-down audio-only version. Best to wait for the DVD in class. Many thanks to all concerned who helped me get this done - not least the Year 7 boys.

A chat with the chief examiners about the GCSE!

examiners
This is a real scoop people! I managed to get some time with the two key figures in how the GCSE is devised, marked and run. In this podcast episode I ask them about good and bad responses to exam questions and whether examining people they live under the ground...

Quantum Mechanics and Faith?

einstein

According to the two boffins in this interview, 'Quantum Mechanics' is a VERY big deal in the scientific world... if you can understand it. I asked them to explain what it is and whether it has any links with religious faith. Very interesting chat even if your brain starts buzzing uncontrollably before the 15 minutes is up. (Thanks Kev and Lou for putting up with me during a tense drive during the half term).

Also, you can go here for further information on cyberbullying if you were interested in any follow up to today's lessons. It's an american site, but it has some really helpful ideas on it.

Interview with Sister Anne Brittain about flash floods in the Philippines

We had a memorable assembly with Sister Anne this morning. You can find a further interview on the podcast page which delves deeper into the experience of facing flash floods in 2004 and how she processes this sort of tragedy as a christian believer. There are also a number of photos of the people involved for you to see. Below are two paintings representing the flash floods.

Just after:

Anti-Garry Gum edition of 9Gs pitiful attempt at a discussion...

dreamproof
Please please please don't judge me as a teacher (or anything else) by this recording. It was fun, but what will I be doing in the jobless gutter when people finally listen to this? As ever it is found in the school podcast section on this page.

Part three for the yr 11 series.

Tragedy! We lost the bit about buying Happy Shopper biscuits for 49p! The rest is pretty good though, I trimmed a couple of bits that I thought were slightly disrespectful to horses and 'cillit bang'. Enjoy.

Part two is up for the yr 11 series.

Our second part in the series asking some year 11 students what they think about the big four questions. Little green men figure highly...

WIYW Podcast - old content newly linked...

dharmavajra
Okay, so the recordings may not have much new content (or even a fresh zingy jingle to mark their birth into a rough and visually dominated universe), but they are there on the lovely podcast page. All you really need now is a juicy broadband connection (or dial-up and a few spare days of not getting calls from your mum/gran/boyfriend/vet/computer repair person/hairdresser/local police chief) and you are away - either direct or via the now well publicised iTunes subscription method:
