Happy half-term break!


Recommended Posts

Well taking a leaf out of your procrastination book Sunnyday I managed a coffee with a friend before purchasing one of those "put it together yourself" shelving kits - I'm now ready to take on the garage which is the preferred job out of the wildly exciting choices available!

 

My transition documents are all done by the children's keypeople - they had to be finished before the end of the half term as we have our "transitions speed dating" meeting next week!

 

Hope you enjoy celebrating your friend's birthday - much better than a TD list

We were going to see a Queen tribute band locally, but they were playing outside and we think it's too cold, so have cried off! We are having prawns and smoked salmon for tea ! Cinema - nothing on I would want to watch Ninjas or Russell Crowe, Angry Birds, - Alice through the looking Glass? maybe the latter is not a recent production!

 

Hope you have better luck locally Froglet.

Panders and Sunnyday your teas sound delicious! I plumped for couscous with roast Mediterranean veggies, chicken and feta. Couldn't find anything I fancied but I have a new book group book which sounds like it might be interesting so shall have a peaceful evening with that. Plus I have 2 revised policies to read in my governor role...

Survived fist day back. ::1a ::1a ::1a

 

Lots of children off due to inset days for our local schools- so a nice chilled out session...especially with the sun out.

 

Slightly spoiled by a general unrest amongst staff - we have a very disengaged owner and it's now affecting staff goodwill. :(

It's such a shame because they are such a great bunch, but I guess you can only take so much ******taking. :(:(:(

 

Still onwards and upwards, and at least our sense of humour gets us all through it.. ::1a

Ah yes we were quiet for the same reason - so much so that I declared myself surplus to requirements and left at 10:45 - came home and got on with some of my never ending TD tasks :1b

It was back to "normal" whatever that is - even with school inset days mine all turned up apart from 2 with chickenpox - needed to send 2 home at lunchtime with temperatures (both had been unwell over the weekend but insisted to their parents that they come in today !!!!!!!!!! - parents denied giving any temperature reducing meds before bringing them!!!!)

 

Tomorrow I shall be taking in "snake iceberg" (large bucket of rubber snakes frozen in different layers) which has been sitting in my chest freezer over the half term as a "provocation" - hopefully the children will find it interesting!

 

Was hoping to also be surplus to requirements today to crack on with TD list but that didn't quite pan out - maybe tomorrow!

One of my four year old boys came in with a T shirt bearing the legend Loud, Louder, Loudest! on it. To say that it suits him perfectly seems superfluous.

:lol:

I had the bright idea of having a bit of a music focus this week so we made Kazoo's today....very happy parent to see 60 children with kazoo's! :P:P especially the one who said oh great! we've got a long car journey now ::1a ::1a ::1a ::1a ::1a ::1a I wasn't sympathetic!

1/2 a kitchen paper roll....circle of silicone/thick greaseproof paper pulled tight across one end and attached with a tight rubber band. small hole punched in side of roll (about 2" from top...but not important to measure)

We designed a cover for them and stuck it round the outside.

The tricky bit is trying to play it ...you need to have a practise...don't try to blow more like singing with an open mouth???do this down the open end!!! we actually did it for a SALT exercise and also for the making music/rhythm part of the eyfs

 

WARNING...your staff may throttle you! :o ::1a
