Mid week interlude!

OK - a hasty update on life from the perspective of a Wednesday evening! Yesterday was hectic to say the least! Playground duty during the teaching day ensured no break whatsoever between 7.45am and 3.30pm, Eco-Schools meeting between 3.30 and 4.30pm, a hasty catch up with marking, planning and assessment before a governor's meeting from 7.00 to 10.15pm finally arriving home from school at 10.45pm to collapse in a chair for about 20mins before bed - don't even ask where dinner fitted in!

Today was marginally better with the lack of playground duty and a short break to get my weekly shopping completed between 5.00 and 6.00 before attending our parent's evenings from 6.00 to 8.15pm. Finally getting home at around 8.30ish.

My father is using Khayamanzi as a hotel for the remainder of this week as he has meetings in the north and finds me a convenient staging post for them. He arrived at school at 3.30 today to collect a key to get into the marina and look after Simba for me. The rest of the week should be relatively 'normal' if there's ever such a thing in a school when dealing with children! Hopefully at least, evenings shouldn't be too late. A parents association meeting next week and then a series of 3 parent/teacher interviews will ensure that sensible working day times don't last too long........
