Wednesday

Well, contrary to my pessimistic comments yesterday, Alex did have his hand operation yesterday.  They were in hospital all day yesterday and I gather Beth was exhausted by the end, but I think things were OK.  I'm glad that is over and that they are both recovering from what has proved to be a most unpleasant twelve days or so.

Yesterday was pretty hairy for me too in that it was unrelentingly work, work, work all day.  In school at 7:30 and straight in, on playground duty morning and afternoon, a full rehearsal over lunch time and two meetings after school.  By the time I got home I was pretty worn out as you may guess, but I've slept like a log!
The timetable gets dodgy from now until the Christmas Show: I feel very sorry for my student but that's reality in a primary school.

Today is PPA (relieved sigh), maths and some science this afternoon (hopefully).  No playground duty.  The children are in family assembly but we are ready for that!  Staff meeting is epipen training so nothing too tricky there.  We will get there, eventually!

Wednesday

Well, it did rain a lot yesterday but, by playtime, the rain had virtually ceased so we all piled out to play and splash in th . . . er - I mean avoid the puddles!  By lunchtime the skies were clearing and in the afternoon it was sunny.  No indoor playtimes, thank goodness.  :0)

We got our tree skeletons finished!  Today will be gloriously messy: finger printing the blossom is guaranteed to need painting overall protection.  With any luck they will all get it finished too!

And we're off into the ICT suite to explore a simulation, that being what we are supposed to be doing this term.  Thank goodness there's a pause button they can use while they take their screen shots.

First of all it is PPA though.  Seeing as the maths has been done for two weeks, we will have time to sort out other stuff and maybe even to get across the road to Morrisons to get what we need for bean planting.  Yes, gentle reader, it is that time of year again, when the beans take over the asyl - classroom and life revolves around the length of ones root or whether ones bean has gone mouldy!  Such jolly good fun, it is!
More birthday flower!
