Today... I look back at it and it seems like nothing, but I know the kids (and adults) didn't stop all day. Basically, the class did literacy (phonics, reading and writing) for the entire morning and then PSHE (or whatever it is now called) for the afternoon. And I am exhausted.
I realised how much I don't like people - especially arrogant, self-centred, rude people who for some reason have decided to enter this profession. The children on the other-hand are still really cute despite their teachers...
One other thing I noticed was that at year 5 level, the children are still only writing in pencil in their books. In the school I've been working in for the past two years they write in pen by the end of year two... It may just be the way the school is, but I personally feel kids should be able to (and trusted to) use a pen by the age of 10. I would love to know if this is a general norm and my school is the unusual one, or if this is the oddity?
Quick one again, as I have a million notes to write up and I want to sleep. And eat chocolate.
