What a week! Everything that could go wrong went wrong on the school front. Extra meetings and extra duties all seemed to converge on this week. Today the children were much calmer and quieter and as I was taking them in the hall at 3pm to dismiss them I was thinking to myself what a lovely day we’d had. Suddenly one of my little boys said “I don’t feel very well” and immediately began to projectile vomit all over another boy sitting in front of him. Oh joy!! Both boys in tears, parents watching to see what I would do through the window. Fortunately I’m used to these sort of situations and my teaching assistant was on hand to help while I moved the rest of the children away from the large pool of vomit! A fitting end to a not so good week……next week will be better!
The chicks are growing in leaps and bounds, all nine of them (one didn’t hatch). Next week we’ll pass them around to other classes for a chance to observe and handle them. One of our teachers will take the hen chicks home with her at the end of the week and the remaining male chicks will go back to the farm where the eggs came from. It’s been a great experience for the children. Here’s a photo taken of them just before I left this afternoon.
Plenty of work to do this weekend as I have a Powerpoint presentation to make for a meeting in a couple of weeks time. My teaching partner and I have to present an evaluation of the phonics programme we’ve been trialling this year for a group of schools who’ll be doing it next year. But I will definitely be finding time for some retail therapy over the next couple of days….very much needed!
Here’s to you have a better school week next week and bless the little lad being sick, what an ending!
Aww those chicks get more adorable with each photo.
We have had a mixed bag of weather today, warm and sunny now!
Thank you on my photos and that is a neat way of you doing similar with the school photos.
Have a great weekend and enjoy spending
Hugs Pixie
Hi Nikki Goodness me I hope you are able to relax this weekend in between doing your PP presentation. It sounds like quite a week. I love the little chicks – the children will miss them when they’re gone. Lots of love xxx
eww to the projectile vomit!
must be quick,am doing a million things while sneaking on line.
Delia. Well, I take it you didn’t see her (allegedly drunken rant) at her Norwich players then? When she got hold of a mic and was raving ‘come on, let’s be ‘avin’ ya!’. Made a total fool of herself. She’s spending too much time on football (even telling their WAGS what they should be cooking!) and not enough on writing books. There, I said it. Are you going to want fisticuffs with me now?!
have a nice relaxing Saturday night. I’m ironing. I’m so showbiz!!!
OMG those chicks are sooo cute! Can I have one, or two, or maybe 3 or 4?
Sounds like an adventurous day at school. When we want things to go smooth, they usually don’t
Nothing too bad to worry about. Parents know that kids get sick unexpectedly! 
Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend and a more smooth week ahead! HUGS! P.S. Love your background here, so cute!
OH, Nikki, some weeks are just like that. BUT, I do NOT have to deal with “projectile vomit” and don’t know what I’d do if I did LOL!! The chicks have been a lovely little story to follow from afar, though. I’ll miss them somehow! My week has been relatively quiet, just dealing with anxious, happy juniors with one week left to go. Three will be repeating, but c’est la vie when you do little or nothing. Have a lovely Sunday and do enjoy the retail therapy. I’m shopping for a christening dress tomorrow myself. Hugs, Julia
Good Morning Nikki Hope you are having a nice weekend. I suppose the vomiting is another occupational hazard. You must take these things in your stride. Lots of love xxx
Hi Nikki, Poor you, what a way to end the week, next week will be better. Hope you are having a nice weekend. *hugs*
Hi Nikki!
Yes.. it’ve been a long time! I haven’t been much online lately. I always say that I’ll try to get better… hopefully I will. So much going on , busy weeks and busy weekends, that I lost my inspiration this spring.
I just wanna say HI and hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs Bente
