this is a brief blog [probably!] as i have loads of work related stuff i need to do every evening at the moment. 
but today we had lovely latinetc. SB says the latin was lovely but she wants to do a lot more [i think katy does so much that she is v lucky as it is!] so i suggested that we do a bit in between. not sure that was so well appreciated! she loved the bells with gina [sorry that we hadn't practiced the hand stuff, it only seems 2 seconds since the last one!] and had fun with the anatomy t shirts. i had got felt and body part templates. the littlies had theirs cut out apart from A and K, and it was clear that cutting out took way too long [and BB having a total tantrum melt at the beginning was not entirely helpful for my patience levels!] luckilly, my teaching assistant helped cut out, and we got all the bits stuck on – i think we need to sew them a bit if they want to last though. we also looked at the bones, which were bendy – i left that to my teaching assistant though too [aargh :blush: because i was trying to be quick as their were time constraints, i forgot to go back outside at the end and bin the bones - really sorry]. they would prob be even better if left another fortnight. the t-shirts looked cool though. merry did a lovely fimo dinodoor craft, and BB was ecstatic!
returned to here with Merry and girls, and fran and I practiced her piece, [stress on sight reading accompanying part!] but it went well, we ran through it lots of times, and fran got happier with it each time, so we vidded it for her to refer to in practice. hopefully she will smile more! the other kids played together, BB and J seem to finally be noticing each other in a play possible manner, and SB and M seem to be far more pally recently. we moved onto playing with watercolours, trying to see how they worked and doing brushwork. sort of from Watercolour (Klutz)
evening wobble about sick relatives and work stresses [in the awful mode] and so bailed out of going for an extremely expensive meal in a very very nice restaurant that i have already paid for 
at my silliness.
try not to let worrying about possible tomorrows affect your todays xx
Very silly indeed. I would have gone in your place ;-).
Latinetc and BeanPuddle totally successful. Maddy listing SB, Chloe and Big as her current absolutely best friends – odd that the bevy of boys she hurtles round with and gravitates to didn’t get a mention.
I like being a TA, it makes me feel useful and am loving doing the art – inspired to be ready to do more stuff with them all. Didn’t mind touching the bones but def not doing eyes!
Thank you so much for doing the piano thing
Ooooh, I can use leftover bones if they’re not wanted.
giggle, they are at Katy’s!
