Linda’s prompt for SoCS this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “3-letter word.” Start your post with any 3-letter word. Bonus points if you end with one too. Enjoy!
Can you believe it’s almost the end of another academic year?
It’s flown by.
I’ve experienced the craziness of teaching in two classes every week, being a Governor, and heading the School Council.
I was certainly busy enough for it to feel like it just whizzed by.
But it definitely wasn’t easy.
Being in one class means you build a rapport with your children.
You really get to know them.
Being in two means you feel neither here nor there.
Yet you are still responsible for the progress they make.
Being a Governor gives you a real insight into the managing of a school, realising why decisions are made, which, as your average staff member, sometimes seem pointless.
Being the School Council lead means I am able help foster a sense of pride in the children about the school they attend. It has been fun, and I wish I had more time to actually do stuff with them!
There are still a few home visits to attend to for next year. There is a little preparation to do to enable us to be ready for the new intake.
Final reports and assemblies, old staff leaving and preparing to welcome the new.
But now, the year comes to a close.
Then this chapter comes to an end…
Catch ya later Peeps! Happy Saturday!

Same split class joy… But I should be more prepared I guess. And no governing duties as we changed from a local authority school to an academy which means the board needed to be rejigged. No worries to me though. It’s one less pressure!!!

You have come an amazingly long way, sis. You have grown big as a teacher and that results in more responsibility you are given. Enjoy your summer break. Hope it starts soon for you, sis!

I sense you have structure, organisation, form (not that sort of form!) and can handle a classful of children well. It’s good to read of a successful end of year tale – after the worries and nervousness at the start of the year. G:)

I am lucky to have a supportive head so even when things are not great, she is always there to listen and offer solutions, as much as she can. That always helps! 🙂

And ’yay!’ to having a good manager / boss / head of department / head teacher. It makes for a much better working environment all round – and makes it seem less like work and more like doing a job well done. G:)
