The "I can't believe I am wearing a wool hat, skirt and shoes in June" edition!

 Howdy!  Thank you for your recent kind comments and visits!  Such nice things!!  How was your day?  Was it everything you expected?! Mine was pretty good on the whole despite feeling like a right puppet in front of a PGCE music student!
I wore this to school today and quite simply it's hilarious that we are in June!  Literally, most of what I am wearing is winter-wear!  Its absolutely crazy to be wearing wool and thick tights at this time of the year (mind you WHAT was I thinking with such a summery top!  I froze ALL day!).   God has a sense of humour regarding the weather! Come on, let us have some sun!

FYI I am wearing:
Thrifted George new Bird-print top
Belt- Peacocks
Thrifted Kew wool skirt
Thrifted wool hat with Nessie wool tartan brooch
Mini-magic woof wool Irregular Choice shoes
Crocheted rose bracelet  - made by Mummy!
Batik wooden bead bracelet- market in Bali.
Peace bird necklace - gift
Red tights- Tescos
Vintage kissing children earrings

I get ludicrously excited when I see anything bird print in a Charity shop so I was really happy to find this top which was brand-new!  Hurrah!  There's something so timeless and cheery about bird-print!

 I was really happy today at school- I love little joys!   I have the younger children this half-term and Tuesday is the day I have nursery am and pm.  There's always some children who don't join in especially one who I nicknamed Grumpy (not to his face!) because he used to sit there with the most sneering look (it had to be seen to be believed!) on his face refusing to join in with anything at all, not even TOUCHING an instrument and would scream if told to join in (which I found bizarre since even the most reticent child in singing terms loves to play an instrument).  Anyway, Grumpy, today in music was a total saint.  He sang everything, played the part of a crow in 'One of me dumplin's gone' he properly joined in with dancing to a calypso, happily played calypso rhythms on maracas, happily took on lead roles in a counting song. It was amazing!   I praised him constantly, not even as future encouragement or as positive reinforcement when you want to help reticent ones but because he was genuinely amazing!  Apparently, he came in yesterday to nursery and said, "I'm not going to cry anymore because I am a big boy now," and he has followed true on his words.  It's amazing to see their development and progress!  It was actually great fun as because of the Olympics, each year has a country/region to study so they are looking at the Caribbean hence my theme!

 My year 2 lessons were interesting but of course, the PGCE student just HAD to come and see me in the class where the children were being a little hyper and found it much harder to focus (last lesson!) rather than the one that went brilliantly!  I think I teach a lesson better first time than second. Anyway, I'd love to know what she was thinking!

I hope that you are having a lovely day! Ciao bella!
