Water-bucket relay, getting pissed off with usual suspects (Yuki, Hikaru, smug face, bad little one, Manato). Tie stamping a new diversion. (Re-reading my notes, I am not sure what I mean either!)
Chikuwa & carrots for lunch, escaped green class to make something from Hungry Caterpillar. Days & numbers/fruit? Needed the time to sit & think about it, formulate a lesson plan as I was making the bits & pieces. This will work; that's stupid; that will take too long I should do it myself; the size is wrong; the font is wrong; there aren't enough components (need to divide by 32) etc.
Excursion to the fire brigade, same lot as above being shits. Guess the brigade will be busy tomorrow with typhoon damage? Fresh & breezy this afternoon. Job again to make sure nobody runs into a moving big red truck, gets their head stuck in a fireman's wellie or finds too much fascinating gravel.
Yuki bounced off me three times in succession in the corridor....
Strike One: a full on head charge saw him bounce into the shoe boxes.
Strike Two: a ramming assault = stood on the front of his shoe, landed on his bum a bit too hard.
Strike Three: punched me in the legs until he hurt his hand.
Funny thing was, he did an actual recount (like a referee justifying a yellow card) in the corridor pointing out where my offences had taken place. Wandered off to consider other options (such as behaving?).
A pair of twin engine passenger jets flying towards Nagoya this morning, line astern but relatively low. Very strange and something I have never seen before. Did not show up on FlightRadar24...

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!
