The school holidays start tomorrow. Hooray! I started at a new school this year and the first term has being hard ……..learning the new job has been difficult; trying to work out what different classes need and what  pre-existing skills  they have. Trying to fit in with each of the classes’  units of work  and to make what I do with the children in the library relevant and interesting. I have 14 classes over three days and although we have some grades with three classes that are doing the same unit of work and theme, how each teacher approaches is totally different. I am hoping that next term will be easier, as I have been able to sit in on two grades planning meetings and that has helped me tremendously in knowing now where I can fit in. So even though I will be working over the holidays, designing my units of work, I will be able to do it at my own pace and in my own time.

 I wish to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to the beautiful people who left a comment on my last entry. Pen I think that I will take your advice very much to heart and do what you suggest…..so that I can draw and paint more. The theme for last week’s ‘Illustration Friday’ was ‘homage’ and although I really was not in the frame of mind to do it, I still checked out the entries and some people had such wonderful ideas. I really love this one (a bit how I feel at the moment) and this one.
