Reflections on the year gone by.....




Summer gives us all an opportunity to reflect at leisure on the past school year and ponder on:
What went well?
What went wrong?
What can be improved on?

Anybody care to share?

Managing ANGER in the class

What has your experience been in this area? Comments please?

"Teacher, teacher, daddy beat mummy and she packed her bag and left",

wept one of my Key Stage 1 children on that sad day all those years ago......" It was a heart wrenching moment for me.

What was your most heart-wrenching moment in class?

O be careful little eyes what you see....

I remember way back very early in my career when one day, I met a group of 5yr olds huddled together and giggling over the very hot "jist" going on.....

 "I now know mummy loves daddy 'cos I saw them kissing (giggle) and they didn't know I was watching them"

.... Have you walked into your very young children having similar conversations or viewing similar "acts"? What was your reaction at the time?
