I'm on holiday!


Woohoo!! I made it to the end of the term.  I'm officially on holiday 😎😎😎

It's been unbearably hot here.  People always say 'Don't complain about the good weather.'  And normally I wouldn't but when your classroom is 33 degrees C (or 91.4 degrees F) at 9.30am it is simply unbearable for children and staff.  Why are school buildings freezing cold in Winter and stiflingly hot in Summer??  I'm not impressed with my new oven classroom and have already officially requested a fan for next term.

One of the lovely things about teaching is the relationships you build with children and their families over the year.  Yesterday and today I was given lots of lovely presents (mostly wine, candles and chocolates!!)  but my favourite thing is always the cards.  I just love the wee messages and drawings they write inside.  I keep all the thank you cards I get and look at them from time to time, just to remind myself I'm doing an ok job. 👌

So, I now have 3 days to get ready for Australia!! Eldest DS is house/dog/chicken sitting while I'm away so I need to get everything ready for him staying too.  So little time, so much to do...

    I have one of those weather station things in our garden and last night at 5pm it was 39 degrees C in our back garden. I can hardly bear it, I don't cope well with the heat nowadays. At least its been a bit cooler today with a lovely breeze. It's a nightmare going away when you have animals to be cared for isn't it. However, I'm sure you'll have a brilliant time once you're there. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. :D Safe trip. xx

    Saying goodbye to your class is always sad and it doesn't get any easier as you get older. The plus side is the holiday that follows. Have a wonderful time.

      Thanks! They'll be in the room next door to me in August so that will be interesting.

      I find they shift allegiance very quickly. Sad but true. Their new teacher becomes 'the best teacher I have ever had' instead. Just how it should be but sad.

    Yeah! Schools Out for Summer!! Enjoy your holiday. Try and relax on the flight over. DS#2 is in Brisbane at the moment. He's been there twice and Sydney twice in June. He'll be in London four times in July. I've given him my shopping list! He works for an airline.
