Day 2 - 1st 'Jim Time' Day

Cherry Blossom falling on head & 1st House Martin of the spring spotted.

Expedition of old/young pairs around the block, boys sliding hands along everything: lamp posts, fences, parked cars but tripping over kerbs all the way.

iLeader pinch hitting for Madge, with Bacardi now supporting; she started the day very nicely with lovely piano & dialing down the shouters.

Invites rules for skipping rope & everyone agrees to best behavior. V nice trick, shushing one with finger & eye contact without stopping talking to rest of class - keeps everyone engaged. Also like the reduction by clapping 54321 to zero & sit straight.

iLeader is great but her element is tiddlers. Big help with Jim time & has volunteered short cuts already, given me crayons & glue. How sweet!

Managed to use excuse of Jim time to be scarce after lunch - Mick Jagger & dim sims - need the time out of action to think, cobble together ideas and scribble down a 40-minute running plan. Can hardly do that with nendo & test-my-strength challenges. came up with

How's the weather today after x3 Hello, How are you?
Older group of 2 classes 
Modeled then had boys face girls & do
Weather+ wheel, modeling weather words, then + TPR. Dicta pic on rudimentary template. iLeader & Bacardi, but also Boss, Chief, Dragon. 
Fotobabble done & art collected. Final 10 mins = Jim says .....please
& quick goodbye song.

School gate observation - tight sky-blue jeans mummy kicked her shoe off trying to be fancy! Nice wiggle of bum as she exited with my fave v-neck sweater.
