    That’s good to hear, are you selling raffle tickets via a platform like PayPal?
  2. Mouseketeer
    Great idea, it looks like a good resource, we are planning a big online raffle as we can’t do usual fundraising events this half term but have to sort the council licence out first to sell tickets so hopefully that will be just a quick submit the application, pay the fee and away we go 🙂

    3. Peace at last I’m not great with titles/authors...I’d be hard pushed to tell you the title of the book I’m reading now 🙈

    We sent a couple of symptomatic chn home last week (thankfully both negative) they both had tests booked with in an hour if us phoning the parents, we’re quite rural so an hours drive to nearest testing stations/hospitals but not so bad.

    I think that’s it until you need to have a staff member or member of their household tested I think, then you upload that excel sheet by 3.30pm (wasn’t it?) to be honest I think I’d only bother with it if someone was struggling to book a test but getting the test around here doesn’t seem to be the problem it’s the time taken to get the results back 😞

    I think it’s been mentally exhausting (and age in my case too on the physical side), I find myself questioning every decision I make over and over which is different from the ‘I’ve made the decision, these are the reasons and if it doesn’t work out I’ll put my hand up and say that was the wrong call’ attitude I usually adopt, I guess because the stakes are higher. I also have a TDL a mile long for half term catch up but most won’t happen as I have to put the building back to normal first, which is a daunting thought 🥺 Try and get some ‘you’ time everyone on HT this week, easier said than done I know and as you say loony (oops Louby) hats of to those of you working through 🏅

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested there is a section on how to register essential workers and the info you need to send, I’d given up as it took about 5 weeks to get a reply but maybe they’ve caught up now.

    I think you’re right, we have one and it makes me choke when I use it 😷

    Hope you’re soon over the flu FM 🤒 I’ve actually heard back from the Covid testing referral portal this week, I was beginning to think it didn’t mean PVI settings could register, we should now be able to fast track staff and their household members for testing which will be great providing they don’t try and send them 300 miles to a testing station 😕
  18. Mouseketeer
    If you’re on HT this week have a good one and if (like me) a week to go I hope the week is kind to us all, I am still planning to unbubble and quite looking forward to a rearranging furniture and getting back to a more ‘normal’ way of working, the chn haven’t used indoors since starting back in September so interested to know how that’s working for any settings that have been as I’m sure we won’t manage outside all winter, I’m thinking strip back the amount of available resources and some kind of rotation system, which we’ve been doing a bit with anything that gets taken from indoors to one of the outdoor bubble areas but am expecting to have to do this in a bigger scale when indoor play and no bubbles starts 🤷‍♀️

    Don’t feel guilty about having a good week SD, it’s nice to hear it 🙂 hope everyone can have a relaxing weekend, we’ve had some lovely warm sunshine today so that would be most welcome 🙏

    It’s all so demoralising, sorry to hear you’re about to go into tier 2 mode froglet and louby 😞 we were sitting around 12 cases a day last week and that is now just under the 50 a day this week, we’ve been put on Amber alert by the county whatever that means 😢 my heading is spinning over the bubble decision, but with the increases I believe even more it would be a 1 out all out if either bubble had a pos case, none of my committee have asked how it’s going this half term, and I’m beginning to sense a feeling of ‘one upmanship’ with one of the bubbles which I just don’t need. pleased to read your Mr S news sunnyday 🌞

    Hi Froglet, I was wondering if it was Friday yet, Everything seems to take more effort to wade through 🥺
  22. Mouseketeer
    Fantastic Froglet !
  23. Mouseketeer
    Thank you sunnyday, I’m more worried for this cohort being school ready than the ones who missed their last term before school. I’m hoping it will have the desired outcome 🤞
  24. Mouseketeer
    I’m with you on the feeling useless, I have no idea how to put this right, staff morale is pretty low ...there are always 2 or 3 in a cohort that need more support with behaviour strategies but this is ridiculous and can honestly say only 2 or 3 are not presenting with challenging behaviour in this year group and many are turned/turning 4 already, even when we have our doubts they usually step into the shoes of those just left seemlessly but it sure hasn’t happened yet.... in fact the younger new starters are a breeze compared 🤔
  25. Mouseketeer
    We don’t have any diagnosed (other than Salt) SEND at the moment which is unusual but oh boy they have returned with some challenging behaviour, some were off from March but not all, independence has gone out the window and many are not listening to a thing anyone says to them, they are answering back and snatching from each other, either that or they breakdown at the slightest thing, I have never known such a high maintenance group as this school cohort have returned....I’m hoping reverting to one group might help them settle, they can play with who they want to, where they want to most of the time and be with different staff as I feel this might also be impacting on behaviour 🤷‍♀️
