My student was beautifully behaved today, polite, helpful and quiet, but was told at break time that both the head and deputy head had had words with him first thing, oh!
Did something different in maths today that worked quite well. I paired my weak pupils with my strong ones and got them to work together to solve problems. Might do it again. They were having to work out change to be given with money I photocopied. A couple wanted to know why they couldn't just swipe for it. Er no, this is the imaginary Zimbabwe where we have cash and change.
The Convent old girls lunch went well on Saturday at Alo Alo. There were fewer nuns, former teachers and old girls than usual, but we ended up having exactly the right number of lucky draw prizes. I was picked second and chose garden tools from Electrosales. My mum chose two lovely glass platters from Glass Gecko.
I have been asked to au pair again for the family in Borrowdale Brooke these holidays. Will do crafts with the kids and take them on some fun outings. Will get to use their car again. I am also tutoring some new students from the International School and will be house sitting in Greystone Park.
