Yes, they work with childminders who are usually single-handed, so I’m sure they understand the need for your focus to be elsewhere

Ugh I remember register rewrites! I just did it all as an excel workbook in the end!

Crikey it’s come round a bit quickly! Granddaughter started back in school this week, Scotland. Primary 4, so the equivalent of year 3. I hope it’s a good one for her and stretches her a bit.

I’ve harvested and cleared my rhubarb patch and given it a good top dressing of growmore and manure in the hopes that I’ll get a good autumn crop. It generally works, so fingers crossed. That autumn crop is always good for rhubarb and ginger jam! Yum.

Demand high for school uniform swaps, West Midlands charities say
Cait replied to SueFinanceManager's topic in Reception
Our PTA at the village Primary had a second hand table for uniform at the summer Fair and bagged items that could be bought year round. Logos were on polo shirts and sweatshirts, but in the colder months when children wore sweatshirts all the time, the polo shirts were just generic cheap ones. -
And you’re very welcome! I’m looking forward to reading your future posts.

I had to laugh yesterday when some report on the news was talking about some sort of green energy they have just invented. Obviously tiny steps at first, and the man said they’ve generated enough power to run a household iron for an hour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Who wants to stand and iron for an hour to test it! 🤣🤣🤭

I met John le Mesurier and Clive Dunn (Dad’s Army) at a traction engine rally many, many moons ago!

Yes, I just came on here to suggest the Velcro. I think it’s madness that children’s shoes are still made with laces, to be honest. Obviously the designers have never been put in a room of 32 children getting dressed after PE! 🤭 Another thing to reassure you is that there’s still plenty of time to practice the coat. It’s amazing what a tube of smarties can do for perseverance as well. (Do that bit and I’ll give you a smartie) by the end of the tube he should have mastered it completely and the reward is what’s left in the tube, or a complete tube.

Oh stationery. Happy days. There just doesn’t seem to be any excuse these days, although I did spend a happy hour (+) looking at notebooks on Amazon this week when Zebedee asked me to go and look for a lined 9x5 notebook. (Stoppit now! I just want a bog standard notebook) nope, I’m going to show you this one, and this one, and this one, and ……..

Crumbs! We’ve had very driech weather for a few weeks and made the decision to hold the church fair indoors yesterday and wouldn’t you know it - sunshine! I’m glad we decided to be inside though, it could so easily have been rubbish again. One year it started absolutely hosing down just as we were finishing up and bringing all the tables and chairs back inside! On a side note - why does everyone think that tables and chairs and bunting puts itself away when those who have set up, been there and organised the day are already on their knees!

My cheese scones are ridiculously cheesy! I make them every week for the coffee morning at church. Weight for weight is almost the same amount of cheese to mix. I use three number 5 strength cheeses, a white and and orange cheddar and a Wensleydale with some grana padano sprinkled on the top before baking. There’s some paprika in there too, and I used to put dry English mustard powder in as well, but some coeliacs have bother with mustard, so I don’t do that now, unless they’re just for us. I find using yoghurt instead of milk to bind it improves that cheesy taste too.
-
Well done! Didn’t you have any of it then?
-
It’s no more possible to have too many craft projects than it is to have too much cheese in a cheese scone! 🤭🤣
-
It’s entirely natural! I’d be exactly the same. Actually excited for you!!
-
Hopefully no harm done, but go armed with an extra roll of bags

Because of all the support and networking we did on here, if was more often than not me telling the county training folk what was going on! I was constantly amazed that they weren’t on here themselves, especially as back in the day, county were paying!
-
I’d say all of this for me was this wonderful forum. It represented almost all of my collaborative working with other providers. That offered locally was sketchy at best, and was mainly confined to the few moments of networking at training events.
-
Mine were excel worksheets anyway, so went on a pen drive. Thank goodness!
-
I’m sure we could manage that 🤭
-
I love that idea. Xxx.

What a fabulous story! Just goes to show, doesn’t it, that a big of kindness really pays dividends! Was she amazed that it was him, or did she recognise the name?

I think I kept old registers until the cohort in question left secondary school, just in case there was ever a question as to whether a child had attended on a particular day or not. Planning I just kept for a couple of years unless it had something specific on it that had worked really well, or something of note to amend next time if I repeated it. Are you preschool?
