Hi there,
Hope all is well with you.
I'm pleased to say that Tuesday was without Vomiting. Or any other accidents. The concert went well and the children enjoyed it. I was a bit stressed about timings and things but the parents and children had a great time. I have to say that the children behaved really well and they were really patient considering lots of things overran. We didn't get back to school until 11.10pm but we were incredibly lucky as we were one of the first schools to be called to go and we were really close to all the exits. I marched the kids straight out of the Albert Hall without any toilet trips (it was a bit of a gamble, I'll be honest! But it paid off) and our coach driver had found a prime position parking spot and we were off immediately. My friend's school's coach didn't get till 11.50pm. My assistant Head dropped me off at my interchange station and I JUST made the train at 00.08. I got home just before 1am!
The next day, my Head teacher kindly said I could come in for second lesson and I spent the rest of the day teaching year 4 which was probably the best day to have on such a late night as I felt like I had a hangover! Dehydration I think. Spent the day teaching year 4 Rocky Mountain.
We had to go to another school for our INSET training and as it is close to my Godmother's house, that's when I saw her after it.
Today was nearly all Year 5 composing sea shanties. I think I've finally perfected that lesson after 15 years of teaching it!
Here's my poem this week for the Toy Press' word of the week: Pet. I'm also writing another one which is more memories.
My Mum and older sister didn't like it or get it. My niece and old work colleague enjoyed it.
My different pets
My cat who always farts.
TRUMPET?
My budgie who eats messily.
CRUMPET?
My guinea-pig who loves journeys in the Porsche.
CARPET?
My dog who will never grow up.
PUPPET?
My bunny who has no energy.
LIMPET?
My hamster who enjoys sky-diving.
PARAPET?
This weekend, we have a 90th birthday party for a lovely friend from Music Camp! I've not been there this time of year before! I am looking forward to it!
Hope all is well with you.
