I am planning a wedding! I got engaged to my long-term partner at Christmas and we are due to get married in only a few weeks. As a result I dedicated my summer holiday to making papercraft table centre-pieces, the intention being to actually\u00a0<em>finish<\/em>\u00a0them over the summer affording me a stress-free start to term! Ha ha! Well things didn&#8217;t quite go to plan as the papercrafting turned out to be a lot more time-consuming that I had originally planned and as a result I am still spending most evenings and weekends, in between lesson planning, working on them with only one more left to do (Lara Croft)!<\/p>\n<p>Being the geek that I am I&#8217;m sure you will not be surprised to hear that we are having a geeky theme to our wedding in the form of computer games with each table being named after one of our favourite games (yes, my future husband is a bit of a geek too!). So here is the result of my summer of hard work:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.interactiveclassroom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/papercrafts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interactiveclassroom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/papercrafts.jpg\" width=\"585\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I should also mention another success of my summer which was being featured on television with some of my students, you can check out the condensed version of Propellor TV&#8217;s Business World here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Business World 2013 - Episode 6 - Hartsdown Bits\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tJHaKxsiBZw?list=PLj1Pwo2pn6sENRTO3PnjiRHbcadSU0cSa\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Again, apologies if you post comments or email me and I take a long time to respond!
