I’ve been on the other side of the teachers desk today, as a student!
My shiny new stationary had its outing, and we boarded the train heading towards London for my first session of my Return To Teach course!
I was, honestly, more concerned about the travel, than the course!!! But I managed, via a fantastic, though late, high speed train!!
Arrived early, grabbed some lunch to eat at the break and headed in, as one of the first eager beavers signed up for the course.
And it was a fact filled, laughter fuelled, highly inspirational day! It made me feel so confident in myself, I feel I knew so much of what she was saying … Though there was so much for me to take away with me, new strategies to put into place, enough to instill confidence in me, that I CAN do it, I could, just possibly, be an inspiring, and motivating educator myself!
Roll on my placement, and the next two months!!!!
Now I am back on the train, on time this time, and heading home, with a bag full of books and information, a head brimming with ideas, and a mind buzzing with things I want to tell my head teacher!!! Just need to rescue my kids from after school club (or rescue the staff from my kids?!) And get to my in laws for dinner!
But I’m exhausted… And to be honest, what I’d love, what I’d really love, is my bed!!!!!
Hope you all had great days too!
But I Smile Anyway...

I was asleep by 10pm, a rarity of me, and either no interruptions, was up by 6am! Hopefully bright eyed and bushy tailed! Now I just need to go wake the kids up for today!!

Most of us would be paranoid returning back to school for almost any reason and here you make it look like it was so much fun. Your children and students will undoubtedly benefit from your adventure. Glad to hear you had a blast both on and off the train!
