Well done you. I’m still feeling daunted and a bit lost!
-
Putting up backing paper is a real b**ch! Every year when I do it, I say next year I’m going to ask for help. I’ve just come back from doing one board and it left me at screaming point! The board is 18 foot in length so not easy🤯. Next year, I’m going to ask for help….🤣
-
Froglet, those are fab, you are very clever.
-
I’m not staying there!
-
Ok I took the washing off the line, it’s been incredibly windy here today and I have one of those long washing lines the length of my garden, it looked good, I folded and I have hung up in the wardrobe! I’m now sat here twitching 🤯🤯🙄 What have I turned into?
-
You lot are making me twitchy! I iron everything!
-
So all I managed to achieve was to watch the ABCdoes webinar about the new EYFS and I think I may have dropped off for a snooze during it! (Sorry Alistair😬). I’ve come to the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, I’m not sure which, that I am overthinking the whole thing. So no real progress made and still haven’t a scooby doo about what or how I am going to do in September. Oh well, tomorrow is another day!
-
Still sitting cuddled up with the dog watching the diving! Cannot believe the composure and pure brilliance of the 14 year old Chinese girl who won gold!
-
1. No! Have been for a unfabulous wet dog walk! And visited Mum and Dad. (Made a promise to defrost both their freezers tomorrow) Still psyching myself up but have now got distracted by the olympics! 2. It wouldn’t be the same without you all and I would expect your attendance! 3. Any sort of cake, I’m not fussy at all. All cake is good.
-
That really was a long time ago! Remember when they also sent all the funding forms as well instead of making us print them!
-
DM
-
I got mine from the EYA think they were about £6 each. Unfortunately I bought them before the changes😡 so am just going to scribble on them!
-
I actually bought three copies of DM but refuse to buy anymore! I will scribble the changes on it myself. Honestly they have had a whole year to sort this out, to then let people purchase or print them and then make changes. Makes me so mad.😡 (But not surprised at all!) Tomorrow is going to be miserable weather so I am going to chain myself to the chair until I come up with a plan and understand just what we need to do or not do in September 🤯 What a shame we can’t all get together over cake and coffee to brain storm. Think we would have fun!
-
Done some much overdue weeding in the veg garden and moved the tomatoes that I had outside into my brand new shiny greenhouse! Can’t seem to keep on top of the weeds this year! The veg garden has never looked so neglected! I now seem to be doing any jobs to avoid sitting down and trying to get my head around the new EYFS. The more snippets I read everywhere the more confused I am getting! (Sunnyday I envy you not having to worry about it anymore!)
-
Just defrosted the freezer! Another item ticked off the TDL.
-
Watch this space, nothing will get achieved tomorrow!
-
Early dog walk to give the dog a swim at the beach this morning, oven cleaned, which was long overdue! Mowed the grass, did some weeding and dead heading and now just waiting for my bread to come out of the oven. Then off to cut my parents grass and get Dad out for a little fresh air in his wheelchair. Hopefully some more painting of my Perrybox items later. Have a great afternoon.
-
The what three words app is brilliant and personally I think it should be installed on all phones as standard. The Coastguard use it all the time and where we live it’s invaluable.
-
7 hours seems to be the normal in Cornwall currently. My son is a Coastguard and they now have to advise non life threatening casualties to find a way to get to hospital themselves! Dire straits down here.
-
I have to admit I am so confused! 🤯🤯
-
Sorry to be dense! But I don’t get when people say they are creating a new curriculum, what do they mean by this. I like you have read so many different things and feel more confused than ever!
-
I have done a few hours at school, stripped down backing paper (just waiting for the new stuff to be delivered as there is a delay😡) Rejigged the mark making and craft areas and am so happy with the result. Tidied all the cupboards except one which I just can’t face😬 Next week I need to work on reducing the amount of continuous provision we have available and do a deep clean. Haven’t even got my head around the new EYFS or thought about how to approach that yet. Have spent quite a bit of time painting a wooden advent calendar for my grand nieces and paining my items from Perrybox. Just waiting for the weather to sort itself out again, my poor garden has been decimated.
-
Just think how much better you will feel once it’s done. It will be cathartic! JUST DO IT! I am hoping to blitz my place next week as that is what is really bugging me and then the new EYFS and planning can be done whenever before September. Like you I am thinking Ofsted may be turning up in September. (Last inspected in 2014) This happened once before in our first week back! So glad that you understand the unjumble the jumble in my head meaning🤯🤯🥴
-
🥴My staff actually know what a control freak I am and just leave me to it! Either that, or they can’t be bothered! Actually one staff member would help, but just find it so much easier on my own! I know that is a really bad reflection on me but I’ve been doing it that way for 18 years and it’s a hard habit to break.
-
Breaking up today, happy to be breaking up but so sad to be saying goodbye to our school leavers. Happy that I will be able to get on and reorganise the classroom, focus on the new EYFS and Unjumble the jumble that is currently in my head!! Then walk away and try hard to forget it for a few weeks!
