Thunderbirds are go!

I was discussing with my daughter (who is currently on a Schools Direct Teacher Training programme) the age old problem of collecting the class back together after group activities - or even to put an end to noisy chatter.

One of her pet hates is the use of the 5 4 3 2 1 countdown. She loves how one of her teachers uses quirky video clips and music.

This reminded me of the classic Thunderbirds countdown and I wondered about using this at apposite moments in the Scale Up class.....

It also seems appropriate as I nervously countdown to my first class on Monday :)
