    Morning, I hadn't realised everyone hadn't broken up :o

    I hope the two days fly by and you can have some well deserved down time.

    As the well known song goes "One day moreeeee...."

    Cannot wait - the children have been mental today because it's nearly the end of term and it's really hot in school. Had some good lessons today but it's been really hard work to get them to keep focused. I know how they feel - the motivation has well and truly gone.

    Another NSD for me and about to have a banana and peanut butter smoothie for my tea. Don't really fancy anything else.

    Have a good evening everyone :)

    It's difficult to know who is more excited about the holidays, the children or the teachers...... I think it's the teachers !:rotfl:

    Going to see Niagara Falls will make everything seem worthwhile.
