The trees at the edge of the playing field.Quite a good day at school today. This morning my class continued with writing character profiles. I found out some amusing facts about their family members including 'Grampy doesn't like sleeping with my granny because she snores a lot.' and 'Granny likes to go to the (British ) Legion (social club) with her pigeons.' Under 'Likes and Dislikes' one child wrote - 'My nanny loves me.' Aahh. Being Wednesday I had PPA time in the staffroom where I got all my maths assessment/ marking up to date.
Setting sun glimpsed over the school roofs.Left school a little earlier than usual (5.00) and managed to get home before dark to fill up the buckets with water from the stream. More checks are pointing to the fact that we need a new pump though apparently it has lasted very well. Each day is a tiny bit lighter in the evenings and mornings so now I don't feel that my journeys are taking place in the middle of the night.
