roller coaster

sincere apologies for not being here at all for the past month.
i've been busy - working (at last!)
so my days of complaining that i'm stuck at home and have nothing to do are well and truly OVER.
i have been teaching a year 1 class and i've enjoyed every bit of it. so much so that i have agreed to stay there for another 6 weeks (yikes!)
and here i wanted to insert a picture of my classroom, however my laptop doesn't seem to be reading my card reader. boo. well, to be honest my classroom is nothing special at all. just a bog standard room that magically holds thirty 5/6 year olds. amazing what a tardis of a classroom i have. it's ever so empty and uninspiring though. i will change this! now that i will be there for the next term. the main problem is, is that we have motion sensors all around so i can't hang anything up. we cannot staple things to the walls, only blu-tac and pins. it's hard.

nonetheless, i'm enjoying teaching and it's making me happy. the workload - not so much! but it's something i can put to the back of my mind and take joy in what i do every day with the children.

i know this week will fly by as i have so much work to complete - grids, levels, assessments, targets, planning for next term, weekly and daily plans...argh!!
but for now, i', looking forward to this evening - a special valentines day dinner at osmotherley. yay.
