My first blog

Goodness me. I can hardly believe that it's the end of the summer term. My Year 2 class are getting ready to fly the nest from the Infant School to the Junior School next door. They are all ready, even if I'm "the best teacher ever". I know that I will soon be replaced by the next "best teacher ever"!

My new class for next year are seemingly quite quiet, in comparison to this year's lot. I'm staying in Year 2, in the same classroom but with a different TA. There are obviously some interesting "characters" who will no doubt raise their heads once they are settled, but a bit of squashing will be put into place soon. The new books have already arrived in my classroom. A little sad. It's almost as if we're saying to the current Year 2s that we don't want them any more, we've got newer people who are better than you.

Today's "treat" for Year 2 was a 2 hour slot with a clown/DJ. Oh my word! It was dire and this was a treat? Bizarre. He did an awful lot of time-filling with rubbishy activities and then a bit of dancing at the end. I could have done better, for less.

On the plus side, the Tigers (Leicester Tigers, rugby...) have released their pre-season friendly calendar, including a visit from Munster to Welford Road.... during the summer holidays! Oh happy day!

Any feedback would be gladly received.
