An amazing teacher-save: perspective

Awesome reaction by Legs11 to a girl dropping like a sack of spuds with a seizure in the middle of a play rehearsal in. As first responder did everything right, quickly. Airway, recovery position, get help (send me), manage other 30 kids (GO to Choriso's class NOW) & kept calm.

Boss useful, iLeader fringe player as Legs11 in control; Dragon assumed lead with refugee kids in hall. Very reassuring performance (except me, unsure what role was or what the words were, where stuff was).

With reflection, astounded at how cool the teacher was, and how she got through the rest of the day. I did have 10 seconds to ask her about it later, and she had experienced something similar once and recognised the emergency. Her friends/colleagues were in awe. Apparently the girl had done this at home once before -'overheating'? Any which way you slice this one, teacher did an astounding job.

Earlier, very flat am as footy interest waning (Napoleon's fouls/hoofing the ball). Frost last two nights = time to prune the kiwi plants. Need secateurs. Pining for Poverty Bay, Jimbo?

Bento Day - totally forgot. Nice little walk to Lawson's.

Jim Time with insufficient cards 

Yesterday's LP too noisy because of the Janken

50% not enough cards

Bacardi not the most participative/noisy helper

 Lesson learned but K a permanent noisy, pushy pain,

Legs11 mostly kept in check

Using dummy mic encourages kids to focus, answer Q with a big voice

Also gives me a "I'm waiting for good behavior" prop. 

Tables in a circle, groups 5/6 kids 

Take turns to send a rep up to the front

Ask "How old are you?" Before taking a card, in a stack face down pinned to board. 

Show class, ask table "Do you want.....?" 

Wanting a full answer from group before releasing team rep. "Tummyache" card = too bad. 

Took 45 mins and found 3 winning groups

 lots of energy & English in context

reinforcing last Jim Time (spaghetti chant & broccoli ice cream)

Lack of cards due to iLeader not listening/having a dozen other jobs on her desktop & fires to put out...and again, no, I do not like other people doing my prep. Leads to situations like this, with pants around ankles and only realising half an hour too late.
