Got up at 7 am, which left me enough time to get ready for work and check the Guinea Pigs. It was raining so I decided to leave putting them out in their run to Hubby and the kids as he had the day off and the kids had no school.
Even though I had gone [...]

It was back to work today after over 6 weeks off; I can not believe how fast the holiday period went. Well they do say “Time flies when you are having fun” so that would explain it!
I woke up on time no problem, before my alarm in fact, must be the excitement of the first [...]

The last day of work/school, hooray! A strange day to today, I was looking forward to laying in and chilling for 6 weeks but I was also sad that the scholl year had ended as my class would not be returning in September. Instead they would be starting secondary school!
We filled the morning with the [...]

Our last but one day of school, the children were in good spirits and we spent the first part of the morning do fun stuff, like painting and making things out of boxes. The children then went out to play sports while we carried on tidying the classroom ready for the new teacher in September to [...]

The day started off well, I did my break duty with the bubbly teacher from New Zealand and as usual she had us in fits of laughter in no time. Things started to go down hill when the drama teacher from the other year 6 class walked out of the rehearsals of the end of school production in [...]

Today, apart from the disco, was pretty uneventful and was only memorable by the fact that we appear to be so not ready for the year 6 production which has its first performance to key stage 1 childern on Tuesday morning. The props are nearly done but most of the costumes are non-existent, the children [...]

It was Transition Day to day at work, that’s when all the pupils move up to their new year groups for a few hours, or in the case of Year 6 who spend all day at their new secondary school.
The new Year 5 class, for which I will be working as a Teaching Assistant, were lovely. Four of them are younger [...]

Weighed myself this morning and found I had put on 2lbs over the weekend! Could it have been the fried breakfasts, pizza, fish and chips and pints of cider, I wonder. So now I’m back on the diet and I’m feeling hungry already.
At work I had a pleasant day doing art and craft activities with the [...]

Good news! My Grandson Josh does not have swine flu, what a relief….. Emily and Matthew are also feeling much better and will be going back to school tomorrow. 
At work we finally found out where we would be assigned in September. I’m happy, it’s not my dream position but it’s not a nightmare placing either. [...]

An interesting day at work, the teachers in our year were not happy having been called to task regarding yesterdays complaint by one of my fellow TA’s. They had spent last night working out a strick timetable of tasks for us to do and confided to the rest of our team that they were not [...]
