Last week I was out to dinner with some friends and I indicated that as far as supply work goes, I was hoping to have 9 days of work between the start of this term and the Christmas holidays which start on 9th December... that is, 1 day a week between now and then. And then this week I had 4 days, I would have had 5 as well, if I hadn't been committed to something else on Tuesday! So I think I'm going to absolutely romp it in for the next few weeks!!
So I had Monday in Reception Barn Owls, Wednesday in Reception Robins, Thursday morning in Year 1, Thursday afternoon back in Reception Robins and Friday in Year 1 all day, and Reception Flamingoes when my Year 1 class were in specialist classes.
I am enjoying working with this age group, and observing them as they learn to read and write, I think especially because of my own daughter, and I know now where she's up to, and what she could be capable of!

Back to my old school
I was asked to cover at the school that helped me get my teaching career off the ground... where I did all my pracs, and where I taught Year 6 for 4 months at the end of the last academic year.
I taught in Year 3, and saw loads of kids due to the streaming / setting policy that sees classes mixed up for numeracy and literacy, as well as having a regular homeroom group. It was lovely going back, and seeing my teacher friends, but the real highlight was the number of my now Year 7s who came to see me and tell me how they had settled into secondary school!
