First Week Back after Mid-Term

Hello everyone!!

So, this week has just flown by! Spent quite a few early mornings by the phone waiting for that phone call to come....Tuesday was my first day of work through a late morning booking, which was still great...I was sent to a fairly good school, and worked with some wonderful staff and students in the Nursery there. I had a great time! Things got alittle hectic a few times, but kids will be kids...right? The morning went well...the kids behaved quite nicely for the most part, so I felt pretty spoiled. Again, worked with great support staff all day. I had to laugh though...we did do centres in the afternoon, and we had a few little girls literally up to their elbows in paint...and just a gigglin'....so what can you do except hope they don't try to hug you, and wash them up for round two....by the time I finished with that station, I would have been completely covered in paint as well....APRONS are like GOLD in any kind of primary setting!!! The day ended wonderfully....I played outside alot with the kids, and then came hometime...at 6 pm because it was a nursery. Funny how it only took me about 35 minutes to get to the school...in the evening, I walked past my tube station by about 15 minutes, so that tacked on about another 20 minutes to get back, and needless to say...got home an hour and a half later....I was totally knackered!!!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to work in yet another fantastic school. It was a smaller school, but incredible staff, students, and administration team...I had a fabulous day and would go back in a heart beat. I ended up working in the nursery area here as well and had too much fun!!! Only had one student who acted out regularily, but other than that, amazing day with wonderful people!!!

Today, I am definitely headed out to pick up some cool prizes, games, and activites for back up if ever needed.....stickers in primary settings are like GOLD!! From age 3 all the way to 11 or 12...works everytime!!!!
