Near deserted!

What more can we expect when it’s made so difficult to get around our own city?

But in the winter, the milk from all the wee bottles was poured into a pan and set to warm on the fire in the corner of the classroom.

Then it became hot chocolate!

Storytime with hot chocolate and a biscuit. Perfect!

Hmm, we’ve ended up in the midst of an unplanned garden revamp in the 5 months since I retired.
A little garden tidy up earlier in the spring grew arms and legs and I’m loving it!
Can’t believe how much time I’m spending out there now. And I would have sworn I’m not a gardener.

Well Iceland is very jolly.

Isn’t there something similar in early years classrooms about children only being allowed to write words they have learnt in phonics?
In other words no free writing in case they can’t spell the words properly.

Indeed how does any class teacher find time to do this?

Unless it’s your wall they’re stottin the ball against!

Wrong. Just wrong.

Oh, take it slowly. Everything can wait.
March 8, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Not sure about that. There has to be some telling as well as looking.

Perhaps basic manners and bedside manner is forgotten amidst constant endless pressures.

Maybe staff just momentarily forget that there’s a real person at the centre of it all.

In education too we can often feel so much pressure to tick boxes that we forget we are dealing with small children.

Definitely 1, but I’d probably want you to stop for a blether! I like to know all the gossip!

Not to worry! We’re downgraded to amber now, so fingers crossed it will blow itself out by the morning.
Spring will come here too - one day! 😂

And now it’s snowing.

Lucky you!

I’m in the red zone and it’s been wild all day. Really wild!
January 24, 2025 at 6:30 PM
Oh it definitely worked!

I’m glad I read that it was going to happen before it actually went off.

Time to prepare now!

Murray Mints!

You can’t hurry a Murray!

What a great idea!

Aesop’s fable of The Crow and the Pitcher would fit right in here.
And talking of ‘hive’ makes me think of bees and the waggle dance!

Love them!
I have very fond memories of using these when I was in P1 back in the early sixties.
So happy that they feature once again in our classrooms.
