    Hi calling, glad to see so many of you are still on here :smile:
    SFD here, went to the zoo but bought a membership at the beginning of the summer and my friend bought me an ice cream for carrying her rucksack whilst she carried her toddler all morning. Now back home and will be spending the afternoon in the sun, catching up on jobs and a little back to school prep.

    Luckily I am back to doing just my own job and it’s the one I applied for originally so I’m quite happy with that.  How are your back to school plans looking apple?  Ours are so complex, every year group has different start, finish, break and lunch times which means that I start, finish and have breaks with the classes I have at that particular hour. Plus now all students stay in the classrooms and the teachers are mobile. It’ll be crazy but hopefully safe!

    Today will be spendy. We are going out to dinner but my boyfriend and I put money aside at the beginning of the month, so that is covered from that pot :smile: I need to do lots of jobs today but the weather is so wet, I am having a slow start to the day.

    Fmess - we're 'lucky' in that we're a small school, so only slightly staggered start + end, and breaks + lunch are all taken within the usual timings. KS3 stay in rooms mostly + teachers move; KS4 and 5 are separate bubbles and they + staff move between certain rooms. Each year group has a certain entrance/exit point to the building. It's not much different for me from what I've been doing as a part-timer, but it'll be a shock to some full timers who are used to having 'their' room! And, of course, there's always the chance of having to teach classes remotely - either they are at home or I am!

    Reminds me of Holly from Red Dwarf... disembodied head on a screen, and all that...
