Nearing the End

I can't quite believe we're entering our final week of school on Monday. Yesterday Kathryn, Zoe and and I spent 14 hours putting together a farewell video to play at our 'leaving assembly' on Wednesday - finding all the photos and pictures from our year and putting them all together made us realise what an amazing time we've had, and how much we're going to miss the children...

This week I was in Lifeskills and we mainly worked on the veggie garden which is coming along nicely! We've recruited Grade 8s and 9s to help us plant our chosen vegetables - tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, marrows and onions - and it's great for the Lifeskills kids to have that interaction with some of the mainstream pupils.

As well as this we had our usual popcorn and pancake sales and in the classroom we focused on the changing seasons. With the help of symbols and pictures the children seem to be grasping the concept quite well, but it's just a case of going over it until they completely understand.

Apart from that there isn't much else to say! Next week is going to be hectic. Making the most of our last few days with the kids, lots of goodbye dinners with staff and packing which I'm reaaaaally not looking forward to. The following Sunday's post will be the last one before I'm home... Ahhhhhh!!

We finally received our Gap Photo from January (yay!)
