The Joys of Relief Teaching


 (a recording with an image of my shoe cause it's probably not the done thing to record strangers children then post them all over your blog!)
 
Oh, the joys of relief teaching.  There are many good ones... no reports, no staff meetings, np parent teacher interviews, scampering off as soon as the bell goes, no planning, no preparation...
 
The flipside.
Taking music for two days.  When I have no musical skill.  And the grade threes have recorder practice.



At least in a crisis, I'm your gal for a kickass Mary Had A Little Lamb rendition!

In absentia....



Olivia the Pig fabric made into a sweet wee girly skirt.

Progress on my ripplealong rug started with a whole bunch of people over at One Crafty Mumma.

To much running equals plantar fasciitis.  Whoops.  Still running in Run for the Kids though in two weeks time.  I'm embracing the pain!  (And strapping it and having some proper treatment just to be on the safe side!)

My completed quilt top from the scrappy quilt along that was doing the rounds on instagram.  Just got to teach myself what to do next!!!

Some crochet blankety progress.  It needs to be bigger!
 

 
I have not been here.  I have been everywhere else instead.  Mostly working (relief teaching) and lots of running with a little bit of parenting thrown in for good measure.  And some craft. 
So while I may not have been physically here I am actually still here.  Reading all my favourite bloggy things, wasting time on Pinterest, instagramming till the cows come home.  Basically as much procrastination as you can possibly imagine.
 
I would looooove to have a big clean up here.  Getting a real person to show me how to pretty this place up.  Use an actual camera for photos instead of repeated instragram ones.  Commit to blogging more regularly.  It takes time though, and that's just not on my side at the moment. 
 
I say thank goodness too that this revolting Melbourne hot spell appears to be coming to an end tomorrow as well.  Can everyone give me a halla-bloody-lujah!?

Photo a day in October... something close up

 
How could I not do a close up of a granny?
 
 
They still do it for me in a big way!
 
 
By the way, I survived my first day back in front of a classroom today! 
Really, how frightening can 17 six year olds be?!

Photo a day in October... emotion

 
Apparently this is angry, happy, crazy and surprised!
 
He's such a dude this kid.  And almost 6!  Where does the time go???
 
 
In other news, I'm back in the classroom tomorrow.  I dropped a few cv's off on Monday hoping to get some relief teaching work and Bam! three days later I'm in! 
 Look out Preps, Mrs Robinson is on her way!

Photo a day in October... angles

Angles on the school netball courts.
 
I visited a few schools today, dropping of my resume and talking myself up as a casual relief teacher.  I've got two degrees.  Figured I might as well start using them again!
 
And look what happened at the boys school assembly this morning...
 
 
A visit from Sub Zero, a Melbourne Cup winning racehorse.  He was very large.  I was desperate for him to poop on the sacred school sports stadium floor that us parents get lectures about whenever we wear our heels in there, but alas, the urge never came upon him!  I did get to stroke his lovely nose at which point he made that horsey noise with his lips and freaked me the hell out though.  Animal person I am not!
