Bricking it!

im-scared_jpgI’ve spent a fair few hours this week on work related stuff…

Yes, I know it’s the weekend, but still, needs must.

Alongside the cleaning, the grocery shopping, the Mum’s taxi service to various clubs, the cooking, the homework, the blogging, I have been nervously planning.

Nervously planning for my first every observation as a teacher. I really am bricking it!

On Wednesday my co-teacher and I will be being watched, and then we will be given a judgement on our teaching, with constructive feedback. I know my observer, she was the teacher I worked with last year, and she is always so positive with regards to me and my abilities. In fact she was one of my biggest supporters when I went for this job.

But I am so scared… Scared that I won’t live up to her expectations.

I’ve spent hours completing plans that show what we are doing and why… Now I just need the kids to comply! It’s on Wednesday, first thing in the morning… and hopefully a good omen, it’s our wedding anniversary the same day.

Wish me luck peeps!

Hugh’s Photo Challenge #6 – Unused

Hugh has prompted us with the word Unused as his photo challenge this week. Check it out here.

And here is my entry… complete with my usual poem!

tapesThey used to be

A necessity

Until replaced

By the CD

Once played until

They wore away

Now gathering dust

No one to play

Still I hang on

To my memories

From Pop and Rock

To Soul and Cheese

And now they’re joined

By my CDs

As digital downloads

Take the lead

I loved my tapes

Recorded with love

Now they lie unused

On the shelf above

Watching You,Watching Me, Watching You

Our next door neighbour has a new kitty, Felix. He’s an outside cat, unlike our Sonu Singh, and nowadays,  he comes into our garden to have a run around. I’ve seen him hiding from me, chasing foxes around, and then there are the moments Sonu Singh and him have a stare off at the patio door…

Managed to grab a few stills on the iPad camera today…

 

I can see you…

 
 

Who? Me?

 
 

Yes, You!

 
I even took Sonu Singh  on his lead and though Felix ran further away, they stared at each other for ages! Though Sonu Singh wasn’t interested in chasing him… It’s a tad blustery today and he was intrigued with the way the grass was blowing back and forth! In fact he was afraid to put his paws on the wavey sea of green, happy to watch from the patio slabs! Scaredy cat!!!

Let’s build a chain of love!

Let’s all join hands 👫👬👭👬👫👬👭👬👫

Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 40

“A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty and in the point of Life.” – Thomas Jefferson

Dedicated to the beautiful city of Paris, in this, their time of need. On Friday 13th November 2015,  history was made again, not a history we really wanted to have to teach our future classes, in that usually serene city. The beauty will stay, it will be haunting thought, for a while, and we have all been left thinking about both life, and death in the wake of the events of Friday night.

My thoughts are with those in Paris, and France, those who lost lives, lost family members and friends.  My prayers are targeted at those who caused it… No one God ever told His worshippers to kill… Somehow these extremists need to realise that that they are hurting so many, for what? No matter what our creed or colour, what our race or religion, we need to stand united, and show these few that these senseless actions will not be condoned and that they will gain nothing from them…

Stay strong Paris
