The thought of Christmas is then only thing keeping me going at the moment!!! Today at work I got out the..... GLITTER!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
-
We had one little boy, and what worked for us was- NOT giving positve praise (think it caused him stress to try to maintain the good behaviour all the time?), and giving him 'adult' jobs to do such as tidying an area (not putting toys away but emptying the bins, sorting pencils and washing up paint pots sort of jobs- then thanking him as you would any adult with a very simple 'thanks mate' kind of thing. It was still quite hard work finding him 'jobs' to do though! It is very wearing though.

Only just realised it't Friday 🙀 Now the dark nights are here i actually like to start thinking about C-mas, and I'm glad you had such a nice day yestereday Sunnyday. I had the granddaughter to stay again last night, and she has decided thursdays are 'sleepover nights' from now on 😂 I had to look after the grandson this morning 😳.... all i can say is he is not as easy going as his sister! I have renamed him the 'mountain goat' (and I have had to clear a lot of things away😂) I'm worn out!
-
Glad you're both ok xx
-
You mentioned Christmas! Yay!!!!
-
They really are quite stunning. 😍 I'm still trying to decide if I can knit a two colour Christmas winter blanket made of squares!
-
You too. 😊 The thing I can't get my head around why maths and not english? I mean (unless as you say it's the need to work out how much the government are shafting us) your average 0-5 year old doesn't really need above basic math skills! Far more important for people to have a good level of basic english? I guess math is universal subject, and english not so much so! (answered my own question there I think)

Happy weekend every one 😄 x Back to work for some of us 🙀!
-
Andy used to laugh at mine, but he is now fully converted and has become an advid list maker! 😂
-
Happy Birthday! 🍰🎁🥂 xxxx (Is it the 'big one' 🙀, or is that next year?) xx

A slightly belated... Happy Birthday Sunnyday!!
louby loo replied to Froglet's topic in Staff Lounge
Missed that one! Happy Birthday Sunnyday- hope you had a good one 🥂🎁🍰 x -
Morning everyone. Happy half-term if applicable 😊 Re- StormBabet: Andy is building a 'constuction' in the garden currently covered in tarpulin and has just had to go outside and relise all the trapped water 😂... during the '87 storm he was building a porch it almost blew away! 🙀 He appears to like building things during storms! Had the granddaughter for a sleepover last night, and I'm currently on a break from playing board games 😂.

Another one here that adds just to cross off! 😂
-
I love a list and a note book 😁
-
Not sure about the rain being a shock - today we've woken up (well we were actually up earlier 😂) to bright sunshine - but the need to wear winter jumpers and hats! Friday we had t-shirts on!!! .... and yes, I've got the heating on!
-
Morning 😊 Half term is indeed very soon!😁 Sunnyday - hopefully this will be a turning point for you sister now. I've had a 'sort of' stressful week (well three days). We have 'one of those' parents this year and quite honestly I just can't be bothered with it anymore. It doesnt really bother me a such- it just p***** me off. It puts such a downer on the day for the staff when she always walks in with the constant moan/digs. I'm really not sure why she sends her child to us five days a week if we have so many issues with us! Hope everyone else had had a good week with the beautiful weather at the moment, not sure if it's just the south though, I know Scotland had it bad last weekend.
-
Hi everyone! I've had a few days away and the weather has been kind to us 😁 Sunnyday, hope your sister is on the mend. Froglet, hope you sorting tea... and yes I remember The House of Elliot !!! My daughter used to make us play/reenact it at home 😂 Cait - where biscuits are concerned RA go out the window! Mouseketeer - hope everything gets sorted this week for you Zigzag - enjoy the grandog and quiet times for a few weeks. Do you get busy again around Christmas?
-
Beautiful photo's zigzag, gald you enjoyed it and had a restful time.
-
How was the cruise- would you recommend it?
-
Wow, that is good. 🍰 Not a very eventful week for me (thank-goodness after last week!) Brother fully recovered, lots of lovely hot water, and away for a few days next week. Have a good one all 😁
-
Best wishes to them both 💞. It was third time lucky for my staff member, and I remember that scary feeling when she was told told "that's it- it's just a normal pregancy now"(even for me- as she is my daughter's friend and they were both pregnant together). Everything crossed for them x

Hi, I'm in preschool, so can't help with timetables. However, I just wanted add our last cohort that just moved up to reception where the worst year ever! Personally I do put it down to Covid with this age group and the lack of social interactions lack of groups at 12-24th months. We have already noticed the difference with our this year's group and they are already far more settled with listening and attention (and tidying up)- but this age group only really missed 6-9 mths groups. I hope things settle with you, but I will be honest it was the year that almost cracked our staff into changing careers!

Snap 😂 Although, new boiler means I have been focrced to sort the airing cupboard.... and I do seem to have far far too many old towels and duvet covers!
-
I know! I had the granddaughter for a sleepover last night..... laying in bed she asks 'will it be snowing in the morning when we wake up' and I actually though 'who knows' 😳😂
