Phew!

It's nearly the end of my first full week of teaching - God, i'm shattered! On Monday night I actually thought I was going to die of exhaustion! Bear was down at the weekend and we went out to the new bar/club on shepherds bush green and may have have rather too much and then rather a lot more! LOL! - self inflicted pain I know. I was better on Tuesday but the class weren't, I had two little girls in floods of tears, and neither of them could tell me why  - all day this went on, so when i wasn't carrying one around i was carrying the other one, and when i did need my hands they were both clinging to my trousers, so a little bit testing! Bless them..I don't think we've yet had a day without any tears!

Then yesterday was rather testing as well, as my most hyper child decided she was going to tip sand all over the carpet and i realized that my behaviour managment system wasn't good enough. So I had a long chat with the foundation stage DOTL and we have now devised a system - if they are good they get a tick, if they are bad they get a dot. 3 dots means they have to go back to nursery and learn to behave and get told off by the nursery teacher(which they hate) and 3 ticks means they can chose a treasure(hair clips, pens, pencils, rubbers, mini cars, mini bears etc) from the treasure box(a little wicker storage basket) and for some reason it works like a charm - they'll do anything for it!

Today someone scribbled all over the wall behind my door with red wax crayon! why?!
