As expected going back to school on Monday has consumed my whole week which can only be described as hectic!! My classroom was ready for the kids on Wednesday only because I hid boxes of unsorted resources under my desk! I'll get to them soon.
I have 19 wee 4 and 5yos in my care who are keeping me on my toes, literally. My feet (and ankle especially) ache at the end of the day. I've slept soundly through the night every night this week! It's a steep learning curve for me being back in Primary 1.
I did make myself go to the plot one night to water the polytunnel and found 1 red tomato! I have masses of green tomatoes so fingers crossed we have some heat to turn them red too. And to be honest that tomato (Moneymaker) tasted rather ordinary. Hey ho!
A lot of my tomatoes haven't been that great tasting this year too. I suspect it's to do with the cold weather we had in June when the fruit would be forming. It's very disappointing but they are lovely roasted so all is not lost! Hope you enjoy your primary 1's this year. x
ReplyDeleteI'll probably end up ripening them on the windowsill and then roasting them for sauce. Chillies are looking good though! xxx
DeleteSo far I've had two chillies from 4 plants! Not so good and not much sign of any more in the near future :(
DeleteImpressed you survived the first week without incident. Bodes well for the rest of the term. Grade 1 here are 5 and 6 year olds. My daughter teaches Kindergarten (Jr. and Sr.) and some of them are just 3yo when they arrive in September!
ReplyDeleteThere were a couple of wee incidents LOL!! But kids settled well :-) xxx
