Guest Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yipee, we break up on Friday 12th and don't start back until 12th January 2009! We did our first ever nativity play today in the church and the parents loved it , they are all hoping we will do it again next year I'm so looking forward to a well earned break. It's seems to have been so busy this term. We will lose 12 to school this time and then next September we lose 24 , Don't know what we will do for children after that, we will all be fighting for the same kids I think. Anyway, for those that break up soon, have a good break and for those that don't break up till christmas eve then keep your chin up, it wont be long!

Guest Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've got 7 more "get-ups" until the parents break up and the children stop arriving on the morning! (might even get some Christmas shopping done then ) Enjoy your break, Nona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_10713 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Oooo Brenda you lucky thing. We are in until Friday 19th and go back on Tues 5th Jan. The nativity is a wonderful thing to do. We started 5 years ago and each year you forget how much work has to be put in but it truly is worth it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_705 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 We break up on the 12th too and go back on the 5th January. We've had our Nativity which was very successful - we did Happy Birthday Jesus thanks to a recommendation on this site (naturally). Parents loved it, children enjoyed the music and songs, really rather enjoyable. Might be able to do some Christmas shopping some time soon.

AnonyMouse_8623 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ahem!!! I'm almost afraid to say this, but........I finished today!! Just the party next Monday and that's it until January 12th. I feel so tired and worn out and badly in need of a long break, but study beckons unfortunately. Enjoy the rest of term everyone.

Guest Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well I changed my job to work in a childrens centre and I have to work up to and including the 24th!!!!!!! aaaahhhhhhhhhhh I have never in my life worked on Christmas eve!!!!!! My children are not going to be impressed with me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Why oh why did we decide to work until the 19th?! Everyone is desperate for a break - well except the parents but they have to look after their children at some time. Never again will we finish this late in the year.

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I've just woken up from 80 winks (I was very tired!) we had our christmas celebration today - lots of tears and emotion but what a lovely morning! Then we had our staff lunch and that's us done until 6th January (if you don't count the little matter of tidy up day tomorrow). Like everyone else I am absolutely shattered but I have a list as long as a basketball player's arms of things to do over the holidays (and the little matter of buyng my christmas presents... ). To everyone who is still working until next week (or longer) enjoy your christmas celebrations and hold out for the holidays. You've all earned a lovely relaxing break!

Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's my last day today The play was superb, at the end all the parents joined in to sing Away in a Manger, it was quite moving. Party was brilliant with Father Christmas turning up in a horse and trap, the children were so excited! Christmas lunch today at school when they've all gone home, and then staff and their partners are out for a meal tonight I can then start christmas at home with a spot of shopping jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whilst you've got the tune still echoing through your head why don't you have a go at our competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
