<[>no no just bits <{><[>i mean you can't trial it all <[>well we'd here for two years <{><[>you know <[>don't we think we'd better do it soon because we're all swapping <{><[>changing? <[>lucy? <.>l topics? yeah yeah yeah write down there that that's a commitment then <{1><[1>if you <.>y i'll i'll <.>s <&>name to suggest units that we do <{2><[2>for the next word <[1>trial unit what? <[2>trial units i'm doing stats word can i have a look <{><[>oh look so he only wants it in third and fourth form <[>word what's no it goes right up units no but you said you're only gonna trial them in the third and fourth form <{><[>didn't you say steven <[>no don't actually i think it did <{><[>that <[>three four five or? <&>30:00 yeah three and four i <{><[>think are <[>yeah form three that's what i <{><[>don't <[>see trial <{><[>to be deleted <[>oh we only only trialling the juniors? by h o d word so <.>i <{><[>if you might pick one that's gonna come up before um <[>what are we doing next with the juniors though mm <{><[>right <[>i think stats in probably <{><[>the third form <[>yeah that's what i'm doing with the fifth are you up to <.>s <{><[>stats <[>i think i'm just statistics <{><[>in the fifth form? <[>yeah in the fifth form <{><[>we've just started <[>word finishing you're finishing <{><[>i'm just starting <[>yeah yeah word but i think we'd better trial it so if we can when we do make a comment we can actually make a comment on it at third <{><[>fourth form level <[>er yeah but that's it you're only going to trial at third and fourth form level at this <{><[>stage <[>i think so yeah so we don't mess around with the fifth form school c kids yeah not word <{><[>right <[>oh right yeah so we'll try a unit <{><[>at forms three and four <[>it shouldn't <.>ac it shouldn't actually alter what you're actually doing <{1><[1>in the <{2><[2>classroom though should <{3><[3>it <[1>yes <[2>well that's <[2>no <[3>i don't think it's it's no it's no great deal different to what we're doing now it's just that <{><[>i think it's aiming at a sort of <[>but it will though because it's how word it's how you put it across it's basically a sort of a just but we might be innovative teachers and <{1><[1>have already been doing <{2><[2>this word laughs <[1>yeah <[2>laughs <&>coughs sarcastically laughs <{1><[1>now come on this is us you're talking about <{2><[2>laughs <[1>probably might just be word <&>31:00 <[2>first of all this is put it's a draft thing it's been put together pretty fast i think well that's what they said didn't they they that they weren't even going to do it to start with and then decided if they didn't do it there'd be just bulldoze it through <{><[>in the end <[>there's a lot of money's been put into it yeah okay well that's that's about all i've got if we're all happy with that parents' evening thing?
