It stayed dry enough this morning for me to get some garden work done. Then it started raining as I drove into work and worsened throughout the day. I think we could now say that it now qualifies as 'Heavy Rain', and the conditions have once again caused the broadband to slow down to a crawl.
Friday afternoons used to be a relaxing time in school with the children having Golden Time which would give me time to hear readers or sit with children who were finishing off a task. Not so today. We have been trying out having parents coming in on a Friday afternoon to take part in activities with the children. Fine in theory but today, although only 3 parents had signed up to come into the Year One class, 9 turned up. That's 11 adults in a classroom with 30 excited children. I felt exhausted by the end of the afternoon. I had started the afternoon with a session in the hall teaching the children some very basic dance steps for our line dance. After school the teaching student who is working with that class, and I worked out a simple line dance to go with the music from the Christmas production. Even as I type I'm thinking of a change so that we get the back row changing to the front because you need to consider that all the parents will want to see their child clearly. I better start skipping around the sitting room again.
