This week can probably be summed up by describing the following:- *During the big girls swimming lessons, i normally buy the little ones some sweets. This week i bought them Love Hearts… then i stopped paying attention. Next time i looked at Josie, she had stuff every single one of them into her mouth at […]

Today marked the start of our involvement in the history group work that 2 friends have been doing together for some time; i hope they felt it was relatively successful, it seemed to go all right from my point of view. Granted, 10 children on a very hot day and 3 adults who would also […]

What Your Soul Really Looks Like You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you’re head is in the clouds. You believe that people see […]
