I got this award from Jeannie... Absolutely no idea what to do with it but am thrilled..... Thank you Jeannie...


This award states that:
This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY- nearness in space, time and relationships.These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends, they are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.

I have to pass it on so watch this space..

Where has the time gone..

I am ashamed.. Have neglected my blog but have been run ragged in work.... 
I teach nursery children in a school that has piloted something called the foundation phase... Basically it is a different way of teaching but turned out not so different to how we were taught 30 + years ago.  Play is now considered to be vitally important for the child to develop all skills necessary for their adult life... 
Anyway to cut a long story short our school was chosen to pilot the new foundation phase 4 years ago and is now coming in to all nursery classes in Wales. 
We were inspected last February and came out with flying colours in our foundation phase so we have become a bit of a show school for those schools just starting it... It means lots of visitors coming around and asking questions etc.... Looking to see how we do things. 
This week we were visited by the welsh assembly for Wales... The director of education in Wales and a delegation of educationalists from Germany... 
It is nice in a way but a lot of pressure on us teachers... Don't really like being on show... 
So hence no time to blog, craft, or anything else for that matter... 
Another busy week next week and then we are into our lovely Christmas activities and concert practices... Looking forward to that... And somewhere along the line I want to get all my christmas cards done.... Help!!!!
