I've got:-
week 1 to plan for literacy and comprehension (1 lesson each)
Science to plan for 6 lessons )earth, sun, moon)
P.E - invasion games
Big topic first few weeks to plan on china.

Ooh, shudder...
That brings back memories. My current job is erm... let's say challenging - but at least my evenings and my holidays are my own again.China sounds like fun though. Is that a geography based thing?

Yep geography. Although we plan cross curricular so literacy will be linked to china too.

I've got:-
week 1 to plan for literacy and comprehension (1 lesson each). i've found a legend/myth that i can read to the children and we can answer comprehension questions on. i can also use this as a way of getting some writing out of them too. i can read the first part and get them to write an ending.

I had 2 hours of pupil progress yesterday with senior management.... So much to do and more provision for SEN children but no time...
pile of poop planning meeting.
what i've noticed is that a lot of planning is being one for the lower ability kids, very little for the higher ability kids. loads of money is being spent on TAs to support the lower ability. there's loads of paper work to do when teaching full time.
there's one teacher in my school who seems to work from 7.30-6pm at school every day. she works weekends. she works most evenings. i'm not sure if she just likes to do stuff like that but it was never like that when i was teaching full time. i record kept and assessed work once every term, last term being the SATs test. you know your kids and you know when progress is being made. i don't ever remember being doing what she's doing except for my first 2 years of teaching when there was no PPA cover. plus you don't get PPA on supply either. i remember marking on a weekend and planning lit and num for the week on a weekend. the rest was medium term planning which i did in the hols. the SEN co-ord used to do the IEPs not the class teacher.

Why Be Normal?
Hi Nikki,
I thought you meant dishes for minute there.
Wow, it sounds like a lot of work being done at home. I remember those days well.
People who have never taught have no idea at what does into being a good teacher.
How did you get tennis elbow? Zumba?
I hope you can enjoy your break (at least a little).

Pretty charm... nice DH!
I think you have Zumba elbow! Do you use the Zuma sticks at all?
Tennis Elbow is not reserved for the faint of heart. It's painful symptoms are shared equally by amateurs and pros. In fact, this condition is also commonly found in novice carpenters, plumbers, electricians and weekend gardeners. It's primary cause is a combination overuse and poor body mechanics. The primary symptoms are pain, inflammation, swelling........and more pain.
Tennis elbow is a form of tendonitis found in the forearm near the elbow. It's basic cause comes from repetitive gripping or holding a handle or device in an incorrect way for excessive periods of time. In both situations, the work demand on these specific forearm muscles is greater than they can handle - resulting in muscle tension, loss of flexibility.......and greater stress to that tendon attaching the muscle to the bone near the elbow. For carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, a tool may be too heavy or the handle too small. Physical therapy offers effective treatment options. Using manual stretch techniques, ultrasound, graduated strengthening and the application of a padded elbow wrap, tennis elbow tendonitis is very treatable. The best solution is to recognize the symptoms before treatment is necessary.
There is light at the end of tunnel - prevention. At the first signs of soreness (before pain develops), touch the outside edge of your elbow and follow the tendon, moving toward your wrist, for about 3 inches. If these two areas are sore to the touch, consider loosening your grip when holding a tool.......or a tennis racquet. Another solution is slightly increasing the size of the grip by wrapping tape or foam wrap over the surface area. Or simply trying a racquet with a larger grip or tool with a bigger handle. Frequently relaxing your grip inbetween hits on the ball or when using a tool, will allow your forearm muscles to recover.
Warm-ups before work or tennis also make a big difference. It can be as easy as standing with your arms at your sides and gently shaking hands, wrists, and fingers - improving blood flow and stretching muscles groups at the same time.
A simple 2 minute warm-up:
Let's not forget the thumb's role in all of this. Tennis elbow is caused by a problem with your grip. Our thumb is vital is our grip. A simple exercise for our thumbs is:

A simple 2 minute warm-up:
- Hold arms out in front, straight elbow, wrist and fingers, palms face down
- Allow fingers to relax and dangle
- Make a fist with each hand, bend wrists downward, thumbs tucked in. Count 1 - 5 (elbow remains straight)
- Straighten wrist, relax fingers and thumb, dangle fingers, count 1 - 5
- Repeat 10 times. Lower arms to sides. Gently shake wrist and fingers for few seconds.
Let's not forget the thumb's role in all of this. Tennis elbow is caused by a problem with your grip. Our thumb is vital is our grip. A simple exercise for our thumbs is:
- Hold arm in front of you with your elbow and wrist in a straight or neutral position, palm down
- Make a fist - keeping your wrist straight
- Straighten fingers and thumb, extending your wrist upward while moving thumb away from palm. Turn your palm face up
- Use opposite hand to gently pull thumb farther from palm. Hold for 7 seconds. Return hand to starting position for 5 repetitions, 3 - 5 times a day

ever feel like you've having a day of feeling that you can't do right for wrong?
hubby wants to change our beast. it cost us £6000 a year for road tax, fuel and insurance then £250 per tyre.
he's decided that a lexus ct200h or toyota prius hybrid is going to be better and more fuel economical.
he's right but at the min i don't want rid of my car!
