Museovirasto, höyrylaivareittien huvila-asutus
Helsingin lähisaaristoon höyrylaivareittien varteen syntynyt huvila-asutus ilmentää pääkaupunkilaisten 1800-luvulla alkanutta ja 1900-luvun alkupuolella laajentunutta kesäasumiskulttuuria. Monet edustavien huviloiden rakennuttajat ja asukkaat ovat lukeutuneet aikansa elinkeino- ja kulttuurielämän eliittiin, rakennusten ja puistojen suunnittelijat aikansa parhaimmistoon. Huvila-asutus on sijoittunut entisille kartanoiden maille höyrylaivareittien varrelle. Huviloiden päärakennuksiin liittyy mm. arvokkaita puistoja ja puutarhoja, huvimajoja, pelikenttiä, uimakoppeja ja laitureita. ”Kerää pienelle alalle mitä viehättävin maisema: vuoria, puistoja, selkiä, lahtia ja niemiä, jotka meidän aikanamme ympäröivät Suomen uutta pääkaupunkia, aseta Tuurholman viereen Jollas ja Stansvik, äläkä vaadi suomalaiselta saaristomaisemalta enempää.” Degerön puistomaiseen kartanoalueeseen kuuluu päärakennus, vierasmaja eli rantatupa sekä asuin- ja talousrakennuksia.

My wife, after 11 years of teaching has only been ‘subject to Ofsted’ once, but I’m sure some teachers across the country have averaged one every 2 or 3 years! Believe me, I have received all levels of judgements throughout my career. What I’ve been up to: In my role as lead for Teaching and Learning, we have started a series of six-paired ’rounds’ of learning walks and paired feedback observations. The following training has been completed with trained Ofsted inspectors @HeatherLeatt, @LornaChampCork and John Beighton. My Lesson Observation: Daring as I am, I really fancied taking a risk and using this CPD opportunity to test the water. Here is a picture of my actual lesson plan: “Right!

Comment:4.3 average rating | Comments (2)Last Updated:28 February, 2013Section:news Some children are exceptionally intelligent and capable of racing through their education. Kerra Maddern talks to four such prodigies and their families about their experiences To many, the idea of a childhood genius - a prodigy, if you will - has an almost mythical quality. But isn’t it an impossible paradox? These children look like any other children. Instead, most live normal lives, having fun, taking part in games; but all the time they are having to combine this with possessing an exceptional intellect, which means they often celebrate achievements most children attain years later.
