School!

Ok so we have definitely been feeling that 'back to school' time of year in our house. I started back teaching this week and Chloe begins her first year in reception next week (ohmygoodness). We've been rushing round buying everything she'll need and organising the last minute practicalities of her being in part time to start.

My return to work this week has been quite exhausting and a little stressful. I had to go in for an extra day for inset, so that now takes me to four days. It has felt like a lot of time away from my babies and I'm not keen to do it too often! The good points have been lovely classes and nice catching up with friends. But generally I'm not keen on the start of the year. I much prefer work when I'm settled and know what I'm doing. For example a large part of one of my classes today was a video and questions relating to it. But could I work the sound in a new classroom?? No. Thankfully the girls I teach are much better at technology than me and got it going eventually. Phew.

I'm very excited to report back to you after Chloe's first days at school. She is really looking forward to it and so I just want it to hurry up now! I love seeing her embarking on new adventures.
