Back again

Today was my first duty day back at Playcentre after a term off on maternity leave.

It all seemed to go fine. Every child on our roll was in attendance, and it was raining when I left the house, so it could have been a challenging session. But everything seemed to go smoothly. We even managed an impromptu fire drill without any fuss! Some non-duty adults did lots of work with the children on session, and helped with set up and/or clean up, which was fantastic.

Due to having a baby in the front pack and a very tired boy who needs to be back at home and in bed by lunchtime, I'm not really doing as much on session as I would like. I do realise that these things come in cycles - you give what you can as you can etc etc. I don't like missing the evaluation at the end - this is the time when the duty team comes together to discuss the programme and the children.

Aidan was very disappointed at having to come home - he was having a fine time out in the sandpit wearing no trousers, in a little bit of drizzly rain, operating one of hoses.
