So I finished my ten week maternity cover in Year 1, with relief due to a tricky group of kids, but could celebrate my wins as their teacher for a short period. I had a lot to keep me busy in the absence of work until the end of the school year in June, namely, packing up our apartment and our life after 5 years in Shanghai.
After enjoying the summer holidays, in wintry Australia, we are now settling in to our new home in Düsseldorf, Germany. All going well so far and the kids were due to start school tomorrow leaving me to finalise the house set up... but last Friday, I have accepted a job teaching Grade 3 at their school...
So Hi Ho, Hi Ho - it's off to school we all go in the morning!!

I'm still here...
It's been a busy school year. I've done loads of supply, mostly in Reception through to Year 2, but a few occasional days in Years 6 and 4.
I'm now three weeks into a ten week maternity cover, teaching Year 1. That three weeks has been crazy so far - we've celebrated 100 days of Year 1 (on my 3rd day) and we've had Book Week. I'm getting to know all my kids and and their parents and settling into working every day, and planning and preparing it all!
