Day one of half term this week. Job was put on hold so that I could put my ” mummy hat on” and I was really looking forward to doing some outdoor things…..so waking up to pouring rain wasn’t a good start.
Found a great way though of keeping everyone happy. I turned the whole day into school. We had homework hour….well 2 hours. We had break time, I couldn’t find a bell so made up the sound of one. Then we had playtime……children could do whatever they wanted so long as it didn’t involve killing each other and then we had sports….ping pong or table tennis as I’m told it is called and a go on the community walking machines etc.
It worked REALLY WELL and didn’t cost a penny….children didn’t mooch about like they do at the week-ends in their dressing gowns for hours upon hours, everyone had purpose, we got lots of that horrible holiday homework given out by Gremlin Teachers out of the way and my eldest daughter even had time to help me make a curry. So she is now in charge of school dinners.
Tomorrow we start school at 10am.
Just need to find my cane.
