AnonyMouse_19762 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 :lol: Where on earth did the week go? :blink: Honestly no need ever to worry about Monday mornings as it's Friday afternoon before you know it! How is everyone getting on with their 'newbies' - ours fairly smooth - just one little 'whirling dervish' ::1a Happy weekend all :1b 4 Quote
FSFRebecca Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 You and I are so much on the same page Sunnyday! I am just sitting here thinking about updating the front page and thinking exactly the same as you! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Well Sunnyday as you say Fridays come round quite quickly at the moment, ours are doing well, I think, couple from last year's cohort are sort of struggling to find their feet and understanding that they aren't the little ones any longer, but don't think that will last too long. One of the boys I think really misses the older ones, and we have a larger amount of girls this year so he is missing the boyishness of the setting, but we are trying really hard to engage him. 2 Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 oh yes we have lots of girlies - first time for aeons that they have outnumbered the boys 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Boy heavy here - but have to say (so far) some VERY and gentle ones! :1b Have one 'sweary' ....... not had that for a fair few years And one problem settler - but he'll get there.....mum I'm not so sure about! :lol: :lol: 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 We're low on numbers in our Pre-school Room for the first time in years. Mainly due to a local setting offering 32.5 hours free. Roll on next September when we will be able to offer 30 hours and they won't have an advantage any more. Quote
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Only two newbies for us this term both now settled in. Very much girls in charge for us. Only 25% boys on role. I hate to tempt fate but it's been a really good start! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Only two newbies for us this term **!!@"$ Have nearly 30 newbies....now added languages 12 and 13 today!! at least two children who I suspect have autistic spectrum difficulties one member of staff down so am using my 1;13 ratio for flexibility ....on top of that have added after school care so now working a extra 12 hours per week...PHEW TGIF! 2 Quote
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Joys of rural sessional 'playgroup'. It's not always like this so just enjoying it while we can. In other words until the threat of sustainability etc hits us. More children due to start in Jan and April - allegally???? 2 Quote
AnonyMouse_16163 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 We have 4 girls and 12 boys this time round. The 4 new 2year olds boy starters doing quite well just a few blips around sharing and sitting for snack, so back to basics. Just in stress mode/limbo land as we wait for that call from O. Are 30 months is up in March but as our Early Years officer says, it could be anytime from now till then. :wacko: Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 I am so glad it's Friday! Just worn out - am feeling a bit wheezy and tight chested and the TDL for this weekend is huge!! I fell asleep on the living room floor at 8pm last night and earlier tonight I fell asleep in the bath! Other than that all is going well with my class so far. Am also waiting for news of my brother's first baby - due last Tuesday! Quote
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Really good start to the term for us. All old returning children have come back really happy and our new ones are FAB. Our new little girl who has Downs has settled really well and progress can be seen already which is rewarding. I too cannot believe how the weeks are flying it will be that C******** time before we know it! 1 Quote

I have said it before, but I will say it again - I am in complete awe of what you do and what you have to contend with - all of mine have English as their first language (one does have French parents though!), I currently have zero children with any suspected SEN - this could change there are plenty of 'newbies' still to come....... 2 Quote

And a new chap to start after school tomorrow ...I haven't a clue what he looks like so that could be interesting :unsure: :wacko: :blink: fortunately everyone knows us ...so that's ok. Just got to do some more roll outs for tapestry and then i'll collapse :lol: 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Is the baby here yet? Hope you are feeling better now :1b No baby news yet! My sister-in-law sent a photo of herself on Saturday at 40 weeks + 4 days! I've decided I'm not speaking to her again - she looks better being hugely pregnant than I ever do! I am finally feeling better now thanks - pretty ropey all day yesterday and today, now just tired with 1 hour to catch up with everything before I intend to switch the laptop off. Better stop haunting FSF... 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 I went 42 weeks with my second beautiful boy! He weighed in at a whopping 9llbs 13ozs - thank goodness for that last missing ounce :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 4 Quote
