At some point, I intended to write about my holiday to France, but I find myself a day and a bit before going back to school with STILL tons to do! Have been doing work, honestly! It just seems to be interminably endless (hmmm, that seems like a double negative!) Sigh Here is a list of tasks ideally to be achieved at the end of the holiday:
1. Marking Assessments,
2. A.P.P for writing(a new form of torture designed to replace SATS. Painful slow though a good idea.)
3. Clearing filing cabinets,
4. Filing,
5. Tidying classroom
6. Attempting to tidy some of music room (impossible since there are cupboards in the middle of it)
7. Marking of many books(not all of it lessons I taught grr),
8. DT plans,
9. Science plans,
10. DT and Science resources,
11. Reviews of courses I have been on,
12. Lesson plans for music for year 3,4,5,6, Reception, finding CDs, recordings, creating resources for these.
13. Plans for choir, locating music for choir.
14. Plans for singing assemblies.
15. Writing piece for orchestra
16. Starting to write reports,
17. Guided reading plans and questions and discussion points related to the assigned assessment foci/focuses (which?),
18. Reading the books for Guided reading so I know the book really well and in order to identify pertinent issues and points,
19. Coming up with ideas for guided writing sessions or registration grammar activities.
20. Getting homework sheets ready for the term.
And if you DARE say, "At least you get the holidays," I will stalk you with a feather-duster!!!
Though despite the above, I have had a lovely lovely holiday involving Yorkshire, France, lots of church, and tidying and sorting.
