    Whole school data prep
    Pupil progress conversations
    Book scruntinies/ monitoring
    End of term assemblies
    Hand over discussions for my class to their new teacher
    Receive hand over discussions about my new class from their current teacher
    Move classrooms

    And we've not had a lesson obs this half term......

    I do this year, not ideal, but has to be done due to staffing, sad to be leaving my children though.

    What soup did you make Ali? I'm getting a bit bored of slimming world free soup, so other ideas would be good.

    Wish

    Thank you Tilly. She disgraced herself today at family lunch for nine in honour of DS' s third birthday by taking flying leaps into the laps of anyone who would speak to her.

    Soup was good-I dont blend the mushroom but you could.

    Moussaka might not be your cuppatea Ed...vegetarian with aubergine (d'oh), butternut squash, stilton and cashew nuts and apricots.

    DS had a good time then feeling very full, like Peter Rabbit, took ponyplops out. She bit me...for only the second time since I have known her...but still!

    NSD. Mum took herself off home after lunch with no explanation. Dad knew why but not saying. She came back after about 40 min.weird.

    Forgot to mention stunning cream orchid in a pot for Mothering Sunday.
