AnnieP Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thank you Martin! Its technically a "new term" down here in Weirdshire... We've gone over to a six term year... Which is why I'm still on holiday.... Hooray! Back tomorrow though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 We have been on a 6 term year for a couple of years now,but my children went back to school on Monday this week Not that I am complaining mind....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Mine go back on Thursday after a week and 4 days off! I'll miss them because they're big enough to occupy themselves and are no trouble at all. Hardly see them, in fact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yes, I was the same when Esther went back on Monday after one week. But, a dilapidated building on the site was set alight at the w/e and needs to be removed....very, very carefully and with the adjacent school shut down. So 3 days off from tomorrow (presumably Asbestos) hurray!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have to admit that teachers earn my total respect, anyone who can control a class of 30 (or thereabouts), instil some knowledge into them, and hopefully inspire and motivate them to actually achieving something is worth their weight in gold A good teacher is worth 10 Rooneys, Beckhams or whoever in my opinion, ultimately they are giving far, far more to society and the future of this country than any over-paid footballer you may care to mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
