Dem bones!

This week has passed in a whirlwind of ridiculously long days, with my working long into the night to get my lessons planned for the next day.

I hate working ‘on the hoof’ like this but things are getting easier, as I get used to all the new policies and procedures. Many things have apparently changed at my school this year so even the teachers who’ve been there forever are having to learn new ways of doing things. It’s very comforting that we’re all in the same boat, so to speak, and there’s a huge amount of support.

I found Mr Bones in a cupboard I investigated yesterday, which was very opportune as I was teaching Year 7 about the skeleton today. He doesn’t look far off from how I feel but I’m surviving!
