Well. The first week of our new term is done. Our Acting Headteacher and I have managed to make it to the end of the first week and still be standing. And smiling!
In truth, I'm surprised a deputy (or, in my case, acting deputy) Headteacher gets any of the work that they need to done. There has been a line of children to speak to (both praising for great work and admonishing for behavioural issues), parents to reassure, colleagues to advise and emails to wade through.
I am one order away from being organised for sports day (June) and feel woefully ill-prepared for my Year 5 camp that finishes 4 weeks today. But all will be fine. I mean, it has to be, right?
Thank you to everyone who posted a comment on the story I put up yesterday - and thanks to those who are going to!
Today's question: what is your best experience when camping with children that aren't your own?
