Thanks Amy! Oh it has been a busy week.
Lots of work and not a whole lot of sleep around here, mixed with two sick children and lingering headaches all round from 'the headache virus' that we managed to get. I've had headaches for 2.5 weeks now, which is getting a little old. I've been drinking some cleansing tea with dandelion root, licorice root, nettles, rosebuds etc etc to try and get my immune system up so I don't get the one that the kids have (a typical snotty, feverish head cold). I went and helped at the school yesterday - in the morning with swimming and the arvo for art. I ended up helping the other year one class too cause they didn't have any parent helpers in the pool so it was one p.e. teacher and 28 (ish) year ones in a pool. Yeah, not good, but it was better with me there. Apparently they normally get about 6 helpers and this year is a little awkward without anyone. At least there was one other mum who didn't get in but could help the kids dress this week. I tell you, I'm glad my kid can swim already. Swimming at school is NOT the way to learn to swim. There's only so much you can do with a 1/2 hour lesson and one teacher.
Art was fun. I took in a huge box of collage materials that I collected around the yard and they all did collages with them. They're learning about the world around them this term so that fitted well. They also drew an eye. It's interesting seeing how the different children see things. It really is enjoyable working with them. There's one boy who keeps taking off during the lessons. Apparently one day he got to the front gate and walked out it on his way home before someone spotted him and brought him back. Such a nightmare - glad he's not my boy. Bit concerning.
Anyway I'd better go and see what the boy is doing. Have a great Saturday everyone!
