I know I’m lucky in that I don’t acutally have to GO to work over these six weeks, but I feel as though I’ve hardly had a break yet! I’ve written and made resources for two schemes of work, made up a load of CDs, done various other work-related bits and pieces… and I haven’t finished yet!
We only have one PD day at the start of term, too, most of which will undoubtedly be taken up with meetings which will have absolutely no relevance to me. And there’s nothing worse than having to sit through something like that when there are a hundred different things you’d rather be getting on with that will actually be of some USE when the kids come in the next day!
The next couple of weeks will be pretty busy; both my daughters’ birthdays are coming up, we’re off camping for another week, then visiting relatives and after that… time to go back to school.
So I’d better get on with some more work

Hi Caz – I sympathise entirely. I left all my school work until the last 3 weeks, but then when I looked at the list of ‘things to do’ it looked like a helluva lot more than 3 weeks’ work. So I’ve had to get my skates on. I hope you’ve had a great camping holiday and the weather has been good to you, before you come back to face the new term. And, yes, I agree with you on those first days back, sitting through ‘health and safety’ lectures when you could be getting things sorted. So frustrating!
