Dry.

I was teaching all day so it was an early start for me this morning. It was cold but the road was dry which gave me a safe journey in to work. 

Today the children were writing instructions for making cornflakes cakes ( which they had made earlier in the week) but as this was the final piece for a block of work they had to write independently and we could only remind them about sentence structure and strategies for spelling. This is to give a clear picture of what the children have learned and of course we did lots of talking first. I worked with the children who are only just writing and it really was like pulling teeth! But it has to be done. After school I stayed and gave all their delicate painted clay animals a coat of glue to 'varnish' them. No matter how careful I was the odd leg or wing still fell off so I must remember to take some superglue in with me tomorrow. I finished at just the right time to sweep up some good bargains at the Co-op including a whole fresh chicken, smoked salmon, mushrooms and a pork joint. Perfect for the holidays.
