First day of Autumn Term 2 is here & itβs going to be super full-on! 7 weeks to fit in everything from Diwali, Remembrance, Bonfire Night, Advent, Christmas, and of courseβ¦putting on the Nativity performance with 60 EYFS children! See you all on the other sideβ¦if I make it!π«£
Worried that Iβm losing the love for this jobβ¦just so many challenges all the time - can never have a year with a break from challenging behaviourπ’
A great way to feel happier and build resilience is to try a new activity or take a different approach β

Finally reached the last day of term!!! 8 long, long weeks of a first term with a double cohort of new Reception children has been a wild ride and I am throughly ready for a rest π€£ roll on half term! π₯³
Happy last week of Autumn 1 π when I tell you I am struggling at the moment π΄ more than ready for a break (even if it is just a week Iβm in desperate need of a break!)
Still two more weeks left to go of Autumn 1 and then only 1 week off before Autumn 2 starts π September to December are killer months at school π΄ the whole Autumn term is hard!

I donβt know what schools theyβve been in but I can tell you for a fact weβve never served fried eggs or coco pops π€£
Also worrying about the potential amount of food waste to come if children are served chickpeas and lentils when they wonβt even eat whatβs on the menu now!
For some children, if they donβt like what theyβve been given/chosen by parents, they wonβt eat it and be hungry for the rest of the dayβ¦which in other ways is way worse. So many more will choose packed lunches now!
Last day of the first full week back (which Iβm counting as week 2 π€£) and wow was it a struggle to get up this morning! End of the first week back tiredness has well & truly kicked inβ¦may be asleep all day tomorrow! On the bright side our new EYFS have been amazing this week.π
5 online staff training courses done (all on 2x speed to get through them quicker π€£) crazy weβve had so much time off over summer but have to have the training certificates done by the end of the first week back! But itβs done and ticked off the list now.π₯³
