It was windy and grey today so somehow I couldn't summon up the enthusiasm to leap out of bed at 7.00 to make an early start on washing the conservatory. After making a couple of big books (to keep a record of the children's pirate boats) and chopping up veg for a saucepan of soup, I only had time to put in a short session of wiping down before going off to work at lunch time..
My Wednesday afternoons have been changed around a bit and now I teach the first hour in a Year 1 class and then spend the rest of the afternoon back down with the reception children. After school a maths specialist came in to give us more ideas on how to use Numicon (coloured plates with different numbers of holes), with the children. It was a mostly practical session which was fun though it had to be me that held up the '1' plate when a photo of a hand was shown. Everyone else held up a '5' plate for the 5 fingers but then children think laterally as well.
Peter came home bearing this skateboard deck which a group of local skaters had designed and painted in Linas' memory. A lovely gesture but it did bring a few tears to our eyes.
