Just thought I'd show you the little corner of my room that's now the school. I'm going to swap the swan pic for the clock actually to give it the classroom feel a bit more. I took small crockery n cutlery for school dinners. I've a maths basket, some phonics, work sheets, exercise books , science equipment etc
They are all loving it!
Am awake, have been for hours. Got up to the loo, let madam out and took some painkillers - my shoulder is sore. But I think mostly I'm just sad having learned that one of my friends died suddenly on Saturday.
She was one of those friend who you don't see for ages but pick up where you left off type. I first met her 30 odd years ago at the school I joined as a Maternity Cover.
I clicked with her straight away. She was warm, kind, stood no nonsense and she was bloody funny. Hilarious even. Really good fun. She championed the children and went out of her way to help them. Me and her set up the first true Nurture group at the school and we stayed close after I moved schools to where I am now. Over the years, we caught up at training events and on line but I hadn't seen her in probably well over 12 months.
Still, it was a shock and she will be missed.
Life is short people, live for today, have something good for your tea. It might be your last.
So sorry to read that one of your besties has died. Its always a shock as it reminds us of our own mortality. Unfortunately in the last few years I've lost too many dear friends plus my Dad. Take care. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Gill x It certainly is one of the rubbish bits of being a grown up.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your friend, Rachel. It must have been a terrible shock. Sending lots of love. Xx.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jules x
DeleteDid you see my last post - I thought it might be something for you and L to do - right up your street! Almost haha
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, it's a shock when it happens suddenly in this way, nothing can prepare you for it. Sad times. I was always playing schools when I was a child, I went through my childhood wanting to be a teacher but that never came to fruition, I went off the idea in my teens.
