Bloated, cranky and not very positive

Feeling fat, bloated & tired, barely able to chase a ball this am

Yellow class doing scissor skills (quite well) cutting circles, squares & triangles; my job to lean in & 'help', using English? That's hard for everyone concerned (and least useful for the least co-oordinated?). Introduced posing TPR which was nice & drew out energy!

Babies & mums in hall; scared a few including iLeader's niece - oops!

Sleepy & not in the mood today, and really gone off a lad Tigger who is sneaky...another lad Tatty, who had an obviously painful & worrying eye operation (for months had to wear goggles taped on to his face), now a daily ball-stabbing pain.

Black Cat a bit flat with Dragon lurking. Achieved little; did scribble down a shopping list of stuff I'd like to invest their money in. Scroll on to see if anything becomes of my recommendations.

What, no holiday?

Bit nervous; last night got creative with A4 6x3 pictures for how's the weather activity this am. Spectacular flop or pretty cool? We'll see! Gorgeous morning, short sleeve order.

Quick hello song

how's the weather; x1 with my circular thing, modeling answer. 

X1 standing & doing action, model Q & A. 

Young group = probably need more times thru. Gave out sheets to pic randomly, using chairs for desks. Nearly 2x 18, Choriso & I did extra 3. 

Coloring took more than 5 (nearer 10-15) mins, even tho v simple pic parts. 

Asking them glue own parts in a mistake; took too long/too messy/too haphazard. 

Use pre-glued background next time. 

Result v colorful (Choriso managed one pic, I the other) but next time do colour by numbers - more input & more useful picture outcome. 

As is, v hard to read. 

Put colour numbers on board rail; 

make defined border around each segment.

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.
