I am very fortunate to live near Sutton Park. It really is quite lovely, especially when the sun is shining and I'm running along in a world of my own!

Coffee and croissant this morning with John whilst Jude was at BSCB. 

Reading in the sunshine. 

I finished Game of Thrones. And started A Clash of Kings. 

Curry for dinner. 

 

Isaac isn't well which isn't nice but he was feeling a little better at bedtime so that made us all happier.

I'm a mad woman that runs. And then does a Core class. Good to be back. 

Not so good that I had an occular migraine (I think)  this afternoon especially as, at the time, I couldn't look up what was wrong with me as I couldn't see properly. But I can see now so it could be much worse!

I'd forgotten how 'young' Y2 are at the start of the year. We still had fun though! Year 5 enjoyed drawing Picasso faces. 

And I enjoyed a bit of sunshine when I got home. 

Plus John is home tomorrow :)

Today I have learning about extremism and challenging homophobia at work. Lots to consider and I did get a numb bum on the button stools again, but also very enlightening. And I ended up crying with laughter at one point after a particularly amusing contribution by a colleague. And I have a new favourite Eric Carle book. 

Big smiles and great pride in Isaac who was taken on an unexpected run in Games today when he expected to be rowing, and didn't do it half heartedly like some of his peers who were sent back but ran the whole way. He was exhausted when I got home! 

And Jude had music lesson today with his new teacher and enjoyed it. That made me smile too. 

Oh, and John churning cheese on Switzerland made us all smile as we recalled Eurovision and the Polish milkmaids ;)

Back to my other school today - and children!

Lots of smiley children who were pleased to see me and wanted to tell me all about their holidays. And a morning of Picasso faces followed by an afternoon of rounders. It makes me smile when I share the lesson objective and it's met by one (or more) children hissing "Yessss!' Today it was half a class so that was a great moment. And there were less "arguments" today during rounders so either my umpiring is improving or they've learned that arguing doesn't work!

The boys went back to school today too; Jude was pleased to spend time with his musical friends for the first time since sad news in the summer holidays, and Isaac carried out his Prefect duties as best he could (although he seems to have done lots of 'munging around' waiting for opportunities to be helpful) before school starts properly tomorrow.

And finally, I had to smile as I was repeatedly congratulated on not breaking anything this holiday!

First day back to school - no children and lots of 'bum numbing' as we were sat at the children's dinner tables on button stools for much of the day. However, there was Haribo and I did manage to nag the Head into rewarding me with chocolate for my 'spelling mistake spotting!' so wasn't that bad really.

I borrowed today's picture from my friend Carmen - she posted it on her FB page and I liked it. It made me smile as it reminded me of my Trees 365 blog!
