survived 3 1/2 hours with my tutor group which was a bit of a marathon effort with year 11s!! Also taught the other 2 lessons and it was one of my duty days so non stop all day. Now I feel as if I have been steamrollered. The chookies are having a little scratch around before bed for them and for me!!!

 

Poor you. I am head of Year 11 and my lot also have about 3.5 hours with forms tomorrow - SMLT put so much thought into that one! I have tried hard to provide lots of things to occupy them and am having an assembly for one of the periods to give the tutors a rest. I hope they will forgive me.... but I don't make the plans I guess I am the enforcer. :(

14 yr old and 6 yr old went back today (ya!ya!) - 6 yr old daughter was more excited about her new High School Musical lunch bag more than anything else!

 

Still they do look all smart and grown up in their winter uniforms :D

 

Enjoying my freedom and have just been to the gym.......wonder how long that will last for!

Rosie went back yesterday - she was a real grump bag in the morning, but was happy by the time she got home.

 

Her school really messed up on the return dates though... last term, I asked for clarification on the return date as the diary on the school website said that Tuesday was an inset day, whereas the county website and the letter sent out by the school said that they started on Tuesday. The secretary said that school should start on Tuesday and that the diary on the site was wrong. They obviously didn't follow this up with a reminder to parents as Rosie said that school was half empty yesterday as lots of folks had gone by the (wrong) date which was still up on the website :roll::wall:

Same at ours Clare.

It was only bacause my friend met a teacher in the supermarket that I knew school stars tomorrow & not today :roll::roll::roll:

 

Typically,after 6 weeks of trying to get the daughters OUT to socialise & failing,they both decided that today, the last day of the hols, they would meet up with pals in towns 12 miles away from each other.

I have spent the day dropping off & picking up :roll:

oh what a shame that you had a rubbish first day :(

 

you mention the fact that the other girls are pretty, but intimidating - the pretty part goes out of the window if they are intimidating to you.

 

they are probably loud because they are really nervous.

 

only one boy on the course - of course he will think he is something special - he now thinks that he can have the pick of all girls on the course. i used to be the only girl on a course of boys, it took them about 1 week to accept me as an "honorary boy" I was never anything more that "a mate" :lol: (still :lol: and that was 19 years ago :shock: )

 

dont worry, it will take you a few days to settle in, then you will know who to talk to and who to "not go near with a barge pole" :lol:

 

(((hugs)))

The boy is acting the way he is because he thinks he has to impress you all. He probably feels a bit awkward and he's putting on the front of being super confident and laddish. The girls are nervous just like Couperwife said but they're probably looking at you and thinking "she's really pretty....." just as you are thinking the same of them !!

 

Don't worry - give it time and you'll probably bond to be a really tight group and good friends.

Poor Rosie and you Clare, as I presume you get the nasty job of getting rid of them.

 

I'm back to school tomorrow and have actually caught up with everything I was supposed to do over the summer and managed to paint all of my massive, (18"x 24") self portrait canvas-I'm actually impressed and very pleased with it too!

That's very kind Clootie, but we use BizNiz, which is brilliant as a comb through. I am just frustrated (every term) that other parents aren't as conscientious as me. :roll:

 

She has loads of enormous big crawlers and no babies or eggs, so they can't have been on there for long. She's been sent off today with strict instructions to keep her hair tied back and her head away from everyone else.

My eldest two went off in the pouring rain this morning for their first day back and their bus was late so they got really wet :x

 

DS got up with a good attitude this morning and seems determined to make more of the great school that he is at this year, so here's hoping.

 

YD got a merit mark on her first day back yesterday for being keen and answering lots of questions, most of them incorrectly apparently but they liked her attitude. :lol:

 

The house is very quiet the weather is dreary and I have got loads to do and don't feel like doing any of it. Some of this may have to do with staying up until 1am to watch Andy Murray's match at the US Open last night. :roll:

Well the first day back at school wasn't bad at all and it was really nice to see all my friends again. It's been a bit weird all the same again as the new head-or should I say 'Principal'-has made quite a few changes, including putting us into houses and changed the way admin is in the morning. Oh well, I'm just going to have to get used to it. Mind you, he is a really nice guy and went round the whole school today to see how everyone was getting on.

Just getting coats on and back to school we go! It's been a lovely summer and I shall be sad to see them back as I love having them around, but they are all looking forward to new classes and new friends - Smallest Boy is off to his pre school induction this morning and (touch wood) he's really enthusiastic as well.

 

I hope they have a LOVELY day :D
