Weekly write up number 5

Why do I bother saying this will happen on a Sunday?! I never have time! I honestly don't know how I will maintain this blog. Even though I have only been working part time over the last few weeks, I feel like I barely have time to create any content. I've always loved the idea of having my own blog, but I don't feel like I have the discipline to keep it up :( I am going to try, but I really doubt it is going to be a fashion/beauty blog as I never have time to take photos! So far this blog has been far more work orientated. But then that has been my life recently!

So, big things have happened for me in the past few days. On Friday I received an email from my old head teacher asking if I would consider coming back to cover a maternity leave. I went in yesterday to discuss it, and decided that I was going to return. Now it was my intention to do supply for the foreseeable future, to try and find a nice new school to work in. However, I have not enjoyed all of the supply work I have done so far, and I just don't think it's right for me. I wanted to look for a full time position starting after xmas, but when I was offered this, it just seemed so easy. No interview/application, I know all the people/routines and it is so close to home. My boyfriend is no longer working so having a guaranteed income again is definitely needed! Whether it was the right thing to do or not, I won't know until I start. So I only have 3 more weeks doing supply now. Annoyingly I had the most amazing day today in a year 5 class - typical! Just after I thought I would hate supply. 

Last week I only worked 2 days, both in a Reception class. Boy that was interesting! There was an amazing TA who led phonics (I had no idea!) and I taught a rather interesting PE lesson! But they basically spent all afternoon playing and I didn't know what to do! I actually got bored and was clock watching for the first time in my teaching career. It got to 3:30 and there was no marking to do, and I didn't know what to do! I quickly learnt that I could never be a Reception teacher though. I can't deal with the fussing, crying and not being able to share! I know they are young, but I am definitely a KS2 teacher! 

Finally, on a non work related topic, last week me and my friend Sophie went to Thorpe park. We made the most of going on a school day and there were barely any queues! It was such a lovely day and we managed to go on all of the rides we wanted to, some several times. 

Bye for now
