We had a very pleasant time yesterday, thank you for all the kind comments. To be fair, it wasn't really a 'meet the mum' thing; as I said yesterday, I've known Ree for a while online. Annabeth, it's Rita Wlliams - I'm sure you remember her.
I now have lots of leftovers to make my meal prep an easy thing today.
That was the main event yesterday, of course, but I did settle with some more crochet and, just as I thought I was on the last lap of the last square, I discovered mistakes in previous squares. So the evening was spent carefully unpicking and redoing. A bit frustrating but at least discovered now, not during the joining or, even worse, after finishing. I'm hoping to get the last square finished this evening and also the joining. Then I can start the border which looks complicated so I will watch the video a few times before starting and then crochet along with it - which is what CAL means - Crochet ALong.
I have a busy morning. No circuits for me today as I am off into school wearing my governor's hat to discuss phonics with the relevant member of staff. Oh, the joy!!
Seriously, I enjoyed phonics teaching and felt it a very worth while area of the teaching of reading/spelling. I think I will be talking to the staff member about how the school approaches it, going through the objectives on the School Improvement Plan (must check what they are!) and then observe some phonics teaching in Y1.
I think it's going to be fun.
I think it's going to be fun.
Then I will get straight down to writing my report while things are fresh in my mind. I don't want it hanging on as I have the SEND one next week.
I'll be going to the Wednesday circuits class instead.
After that, it's the usual Monday housework before chilling.
Better go and deal with what's left of yesterday's chicken, get the slow cooker going to make stock and generally start the day. What are your plans for today? I hope they are nice.
Take care and have a great day. xx

The relief from the humidity is brilliant isn't it, although we don't have a gentle breeze, we have strong winds ... what a change. Pansies are one of the few flowers to truly have a 'face' aren't they and I love them. Yours are a gorgeous fresh colour.
ReplyDeleteTeaching reading of any kind and in any way, is the best thing that teachers do. Giving children the wonder of the written word opens the world up to them. Without reading there is less learning, and with the world moving at the pace it is learning is so vital. Thank you for the part you have always played in this. xx
Oh, yes, it is so, so important. Without reading, much of live is, quite literally, a closed book. It has to be an important focus of those early years and phonics is one part of it.
DeleteI've had a lovely cool night under my quilt. Fresh at last.

Such pretty colouring on those pansies. So frustrating getting near to the end of a project only to find a few mistakes that you need to back track on. Still, it will be worth it for the end result.
ReplyDeleteA bit breezy here today and I've made a start on tackling our weedy block paving - not a fun job and pretty back breaking but it needs to be done. Hubby and I will take our time but I feel the call of the pressure washer looming.
It is extremely frustrating and I am glad I dealt with the worse of them. There's almost always going to be mistakes in a project that size but some are more obvious than others.
DeleteWell done with starting the weeding - it'll be lovely when it's done! xx
I do love the pansies. When I was a little girl I called them the flowers with faces for some reason.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Oh, I love that! xx
DeleteLovely flowers. I'm glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteIt's still too hot here. Ugh
Thank you.
DeleteHopefully it will cool down for you soon. It's the humidity that does me really. xx
