I am sure you will be fine with the preps @Zoe7 .... you have two at home in Toby and Cat .... lol 😂 

The thing to remember is that they have a shorter attention span, but they also love games, so if they are getting a little restless while you are reading, you can stop and ask them to show you with their hands what Paddington’s hat might look like on their heads .... something like that ..... which will make them all a bit gighly, but it’s also a re-set ..... then it’s “okay, back to our story .... I wonder what happens next .... ??!” and it’s back into the adventure.

Oh no @Shaz51 , re the mental health list.  If mr.shaz has slept so much he must be a bit knocked out ..... but the upside is that you have had a bit of a rest time while he has been sleeping.

ha ha sure did in between bookwork and text messages and phone calls @Faith-and-Hope , it was different and nice xoxo

That is really good advice @Faith-and-Hope and a wonderful way to break up the story if needed - I will definitely use that. Hopefully I can find my Paddington Bear as well and take that in with me. I know it is in one of my boxes stored away - just not sure I can get into it without making a bit of mess to get to it

I love that you equated the preps to Toby and Cat - methinks they are better behaved than a class full of preps on a Friday lol - we will see I suppose 

I thought about doing a rainbow collage as well - will take some setting up but could be fun.

Just received the most beautful email from a teacher at school - going to write it here as it is such a wonderful email - made me cry...

"I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say how much I am loving working with you and how great it is to have you on our staff. You are a breath of fresh air and I really enjoy our chats and laughs. Thank you for taking on all the jobs we throw at you with such positivity. You are a gem and I am grateful for all that you have brought to our school. Thanks also for caring and checking in, it means a lot!"
