Falling in ditches

Cherry blossom full swing, Swallows have arrived a few days after the martins, & hay fever woke me up this am :( (and C had wet the bed)

Lethargic kick or two with new footballs, but dominant Anji makes rules & picks up the ball. So that puts everyone off, including me. My job to set playground rules? Don't think so; go with the flow. I think if I was younger and more inclined to run around first thing in the morning, I might take the lead...but really can't be bothered, especially as I don't want to sit around in a sweaty mess for the rest of the day > get to my own classes all stinky.

Girl gets grit thrown in her face; nice girl gets foot stuck up/around a pole & hurts her knee; I get covered in gravel. Ohanami walkies blue/green/yellow classes minus any objective. Told boys not to golly in the roadside ditch...3 times. Then one fell in head first & swallowed a mouthful of filthy gunk! Little sympathy :)

Lots of mums return 10:30 for a pow-wow & v odd to see iLeader helping, not leading.

Origami cat/dog on Snapguide; quiet lunch with nice girls. Lay down to fine tune plan, girl lay on top & nearly fell asleep! One shin kicked, several tummy thumps, one blind-side bolly wallop.

Nervous about 1st run with middle group & "hello". Hoping tech works smoothly; main app (Teacher Assistant) does not synch across apps which is extremely annoying. Came upstairs to get crayons & given coffee - can't resist as hay fever induced sleepy/sore eyes.

Lesson Plan did not take into account sleepy sheep herd mentality after lunch with new group of tiddlers! Choriso a big help, but couldn't effectively model "Hello. I'm ......." with own names! Kept saying teachers'. Getting them into 4 groups quickly proved impossible - kept gravitating back to middle like Terminator in the furnace!

Self-portraits rewarding mementos (since class have shared to Edmodo library, but need to pre-write names & colour code). Adding names would work if Boss gave me a csv file in English to import; instead took 20 mins overtime to achieve, especially as the app crashed after each photo...and app (teach asst pro) doesn't sync. Bollocks!
