New toy to play with!

Got a new fitness toy to play with today!

I am hoping it will help me with my fitness and Goal weight :) Also links to my 30 before 30!

It is a Fitbit One, I have been doing lots of research on activity trackers over the past year to see which one was write for me. Today I decided!

I liked this one because it links to my fitness pal and the map my fitness apps which i currently use. The Fitbit one also tracks your sleep - this will be an interesting one for me as I know that my current sleep is not good! 

One element that I wasn't sure on was the size of the tracker, I was between this one and the Fitbit Zip. Here is a picture of the tracker next to my ring - it will give you a bit of an idea as to how tiny this little tracker is! I have also added a picture of the tracker in it's little holder :) 

In the pack with the Fitbit one you get :-

1. The tracker
2. Its little housing case so it can clip to you
3. A USB charger
4. A USB Bluetooth dongle to connect the Fitbit one to your computer
5. The carrier that straps the Fitbit one to your wrist to track your sleep

I will post updates with how I get on with it :)

New audio books!

Hiya,
I have just brought some new audio books for my class to listen to, the old ones have lasted three years! Quite good going! Haha!

They are Roald Dahl - 10 audiobooks....I am hoping I can find at least 3 of each book in my school now so that they can read as they listen!!
 will let you know how they go down!

Guided Reading

Hiya,
I am trying to make my Guided Reading sessions a bit more exciting.
My current sessions involve:-

• Group Reading with me
• Group listening and reading at the listening station
• Group playing a reading game ( can be quite noisy so would like to change this)
• Group silent reading
• Group completing a task on the book we read together the day before - could be an AR test

As I said above - the reading game I would like to change as it can sometimes ruin the calm environment as the kids get soooooo excited they can be a bit loud.
I would also like to add a few more choices into the task group,  does anyone have any ideas to help?
In my school the activities have to be reading based so no handwriting etc.

Any ideas welcome please :)
