What made you happy today?

My cello lesson was a lot of fun! My teacher and his wife kept guineapigs for years before the kids came along. We spent the first 5 minutes making different guineapig noises and discussing what they meant 🤣🤣. He has perfect pitch so his guineapig noises are far superior to mine ! 🤣

That’s so cool! Sounds like a good teacher. Maybe when kids are older I’ll get violin lessons…

Looks good. Mine is a little behind.

I’m happy because I found out what year group I’m in from September. The class is lovely and a bit bigger. It would be icing on the cake if I had the same TA that I have now. She is AMAZING!

What’ve ye got?
 
Louise looked like a shuffling yak, she was desperate for a haircut and the heatwave is fast approaching but the clippers had run out of juice and I couldn't lay hands on the charger. So it had to be the scissors. She was surprisingly patient - I think she actually figured out what was happening this time. She seems much more chipper now she can actually fit inside carrot cottage again!

I’m just drowning in end of term paper work, exhaustion and children who get more and more hyper by the day! I can’t make another two weeks! I can’t do it! 😭😭😭

Sorry. Just two weeks. Plan what you are going to do your first weekday off and just look forward to it. Just think, at least it’s not five weeks to go! What paper work are you swamped by? Data and reports?

What?! Have you 5 weeks to go?! 😳😭

Oh IEP evaluations
ICT records
Coordinator reports, evaluations and next years plans for RE and school library
Overviews for board of governors- were we were, what we achieved, where we are now
Maths milestones
Coordinators wanting evidence of workfor their files

Sorry - this thread is about what made you happy! 🤣🤣. Let’s cheer up - how long do you get off?

After a lovely lunch with a friend in Liverpool today, I popped into the International shop in Bold Street and found these. Fugolas, or bitter gourds.
I’d never come across them before so I bought a couple to try.
Read up on how to prepare them so now it’s just deciding whether to make a curry or a stir fry.
I like trying new ingredients.

OH. MY. GOSH! I won’t complain because I don’t have even half of that to do 😬

We get about 6 weeks and go back on 1st September. It’s an inset day but I believe my children will be in school that day. How long will you be off for?

PS I’m happy because today’s English lesson went well, especially for the lowers. I used a ‘trick’ that someone told me about in the meeting yesterday. They had to use cubes for each word in their sentence, say it several times then write it. Two of the children worked independently for about 3 sentences which is great for them. So I’m happy.

Oh dear.. they are so bitter. One of the most hated veggie in my opinion in my family and friends. :vom:🤮

That’s lovely - it makes your job really rewarding when you see them making a wee breakthrough! Well don’t you! 😁👏
 
Not terribly exciting to most people I know, but I've just been down the garden and picked 12 French beans for Dinner, They're from plants that I've known and lovingly cared for since they were just little seeds :lol!: and they're my 1st Home grown veggie harvest of the year :nod:
