Yesterday I had a run-in with the Welfare Office and was so upset and annoyed I didn't know where to put myself. But then Wily Coyote took the time to phone and talk through a few ways of dealing with the problem, and Youngest joined me for a coffee in Costa, so I calmed down! This morning another friend came up with another suggestion so tomorrow I will go back to the Office and coolly, calmly deal with the situation.
Thank you for friends!
This morning in school I started working on musical 'rounds' with 1st and 2nd class, which took quite some explanation and practice before the concept was understood (I thought...). Eventually we managed to sing through the song as a round and got it to sound a bit more musical. They obviously still didn't understand the concept though because as I wound up that activity and began the next, one small boy told me in a puzzled voice: 'I still think its a very untidy way to sing.'
Thank you for honest little people!

Priceless kids and their opinions :-) x x x
Ah bless, we tried London's Burning with yr 2 and after three rounds far more than half finished leaving about 4 of us to sing the last 2 lines (and me and my tone deaf voice singing loud to try and keep my half on track ... Maybe that's what put them off !)
Enjoy your full and frank discussion today, put your foot down with a firm hand and sort them out!!!!
Bless him! What a wonderful way of looking at it. :)
Hope you overcame all at the Welfare Office.
