Resistance is futile.
Small is continuing with his reading – he has been practising (probably without realising it) while reading his new Power Rangers Annual 2009: Operation Overdrive (Annual) (£1 from Tesco bargain. Although I wish I’d bought more copies of the Doctor Who ones that I picked up for step nephews, as they’d all gone by the…
A very quiet day
Today has been a very quiet day, not least because when I went to get up to sort out the table Small had “poured milk all over!”, I made it to the landing, grabbed my dressing gown off the rail and then fell over, very ungracefully and in slow motion, backwards, staggering back through the…
Defensive orgo planning
For pretty much as long as she has been able to talk, Big’s last question of the day has been “what are we doing tomorrow?” and my standard answer is “I don’t know yet”. I’m not a person who lives by plans, and my children are, so I figure that this time around with home…
Endings and beginnings.
Small has finished school now. He’s very happy. I said goodbye to a batch of children today, and mainly managed not to cry, although a couple of them got to me. Big and I have our last day tomorrow, last day of term. It should be fun, although once again bittersweet. And then it’s full…
more blogging
end of first week with new member of staff on board – we’ve got by through quite a challenging week so that’s gone fairly well. I’m beginning to feel on top of classroom management on some days – for some reason Thursday seems to go a bit pear shaped, obviously need to work harder then.…
A day of packages
I had so many good intentions today. Well, at least I got the car serviced 🙂 Let’s see. I wanted to clear out bits of the dining room – Tim managed to hoover in there at least. I pulled a couple of bits out and I have a big pile of stuff to drop off…
the eighth result
Now, how long is it going to be before I join the select crew of Wizard Whimstaff results in google? 😀 Tim took Big out today, and they went to wilkos and bought Wizard Whimstaff’s Hilarious Handwriting (aka Basic Skills: Handwriting: Ages 6-7 (Basic Skills)) and his Toady Times Tables: Magical Skills Level 1 (Magical…
teaching themselves
this morning, Small has learnt from numberjacks that 6 can be split into two 3s. (I’m not going to promise that he knows he can do that with six things mind 😉 ) Big is sitting on the floor counting her money and exchanging pounds in change for pound coins. Her arithmetic is improving rapidly…
is it too soon
to claim the day has improved? Perhaps I’d better stick with it’s improving 😉 After a traumatic half hour on Small’s part, when someone mentioned lunch to him, and he realised he hadn’t had breakfast (it *was* offered, but he was too busy being read to, then drawing, then dancing :roll:) and of course, you…
some more of that making
You may recall a few weeks ago that I was pondering making a few things. So far I’ve made a hat, out of really rather gorgeous wool, as I said I’d started a little while back. Today Big and I branched out into the wired bead crochet. Well, OK, the first one I did was…
