Last day of term… = teacher appreciation and gifts!
While this is so not the reason I teach, it is a lovely perk of the job!
Gifts including chocolate (- lots!), wine, a scarf, jewellery, a handbag, pens, notebook and candles!
Such sweet cards!
Gorgeous flowers!
Aren’t they?
A special bear!
And someone found a new comfy place!
“You looking ‘ at me?”
Aw! 6 weeks to spend with this cutie!!!
Note to parents… You should never feel obliged to buy teacher gifts… It’s become a big thing recently, and quite an expensive business too. We would be happy with a card written by the child, and if you really had to, a box of chocs or biscuits for the staff to share! But all your gifts are truly appreciated, so Thank You! 🙂
A heartfelt thank you to you all who spoke with us and relayed how our being there for your child, had helped them in some way, or another.This is why I teach… The chocolates are a bonus!

Oh man it’s getting tougher and tougher by the day!
Lil Man’s Sex Education is coming along at an alarmingly fast pace!
I was under the impression that it was all about body changes this week, and the BIG chat about how babies are made would be the finale week of the term… leaving us parents with all the interesting questions during the long holidays!
Well, the boy told me that they had talked about S.E.X yesterday, so I managed to get him alone, with no impressionable Lil Princess ears about.
Me: So, what did you talk about?
LM: Mum, what’s a dido?
Me: Huh?!
LM, I mean what’s a dildo?
Me: Where did you hear that?
LM: Oh, one of the boys asked in our chat yesterday…
Me: And what did your teacher say?
LM: Ask your parents! It’s a Toy penis, isn’t it?
Me: (again) Huh??!!
LM: Well that’s what another boy said…
[moving swiftly on!]
Me: Riiiight… so what else?
LM: S.E.X. (giggles)
Me: What about it?
LM: You get neked!!! In bed!
Me: So you get naked, in bed and a baby is made?
LM: (coyly) Kissing!
Me: Ok so you kiss and have a baby?
LM: I don’t know! (giggles)
Me: [smiles]
LM: There was one question someone asked that I cant stop laughing about…
Me: What was that?
LM: Someone asked what you would do if you needed the toilet during sex!
Me: And you were told…?
LM: Teacher said you would have gone before hand!
Me: Why? What would happen of you needed the toinet during sex? (sly probing mummy…!)
LM: Well, you would (quietly) wee in the girl!!!! (dissolves into fits of giggles!
Me: (Giggles uncontrollably!!)
Right, so round about way, but I now know my son knows where a willy goes during S.E.X.!!!!!!
I’m sure I will have lots to update you on before the end of the week, next week!
In the mean time, a fitting song to accompany today’s post!

It came yesterday…The letter!
You know how much I am dreading this time…See here!, and we have also already had a taster! Check that out too!
Yup, today the Sex Ed lessons started! He is in fits of giggles at the thought of everything that the teacher says! Today they drew the dreaded diagrams of a penis, vagina and “boobies”!
The next step was kinda a brain storming session to see what everyone knew already, correct or otherwise…
Apparently the Birds And the Bees has something to do with SEX! Which is “Disgusting!” though when I asked him, he said he didn’t know why it was disgusting! Oh and kissing is involved. And you need sex for a baby, and sex is basically a boy and a girl… as in gender!
Though, and don’t ask me where this came from, definitely not the teacher, but one of the (10 year old) boys was telling the others that he goes to strip clubs!!!! I mean, seriously??!! How does he even know about them at that age!!!!??? Lil Man told me “Girls get naked!! And strip!! That’s why it’s called a strip club!”…
Oh my… a little chat at school today, and this is the conversation I end up having with my boy… about strip clubs!
WHAT!!!!????
Wowzer!!!! I am dreading it, but am actually also intrigued, as to what the next session will involve!!!!
And a perfect song for this trying time in our family life…
I shall keep you updated Peeps! I think I will be learning new things too!!!!!!!!
But I Smile Anyway...
