- but here I am back and taking a break from writing end of term reports on the Nursery children. You may feel that writing an end of term report before half term is rather premature, but they have to be in just after the holiday for the head to review them all, get them printed and signed ready for distribution and I don't want to spend my valuable week off doing them...
Each one doesn't take that long to write, as I have all the assessment data at my fingertips, and I know all the children very well, but I have to have a brief break between them, or my brain starts to curdle! I'm approaching half way, having reached the little boy who prefers to be known as "Ben 10" and designs terrific role play props to help him maintain his character!
A large contingent from school took part in the Race For Life in Croydon last Sunday, in the baking heat. Irene and I were the only joggers from our group, and were pleased to finish in 35 minutes. Not great speed, agreed, but we kept going without stopping to walk, and it WAS very hot. We did it in memory of Arlene Brown, our colleague who died of cancer this year, and my run was also particularly dedicated to the continuing memory of Edna Davies, Mary Turner and Iris Bessant. Many thanks to all who helped me raise £100 towards Cancer research. Unfortunately, we also heard this week of the death of Alice Barnes, our brother-in-law Tom's mother, from lung cancer.
