  • Week 2! (how time flys...NOT!)

    Well it is now nearly the end of my second week and things are ok. Lessons are going really well and am being a bit slack with my planning! Have had some bizarre characters to deal with however I find that singing seems to work every time! I now have no concerns about singing in front of 30 kids and am quite enjoying making a fool of myself! lol!

    I love school but I am seriously hating the extreme exhaustion I seem to come home with every day! I feel like I have aged 20 years going to bed at 8:30 or 9:00 most nights. I really hope I will get used to this routine and actually be able to have a life outside of the classroom!!!!!!!

    Got so much going on its mad! Being a music teacher is not as easy as most may think. I have rehearsals for various school band type things nearly every lunchtime and after school also!! Must remember what I need sometimes or school will slowly take over my world!

    Anyway any sympathy greatly appreciated!

  • The First Week Is OVER!

    well the kids started back on wednesday and I met my lovely new year 7 form group, they were so scared! AWW bless them (not sure if I will be saying that in a few weeks!) Things have gone quite well, and my lessons have been quite fun! I did nearly loose the will to live when one of my new GCSE students asked me what I meant by competition when I was explaining about compositions! He really doesn't have a clue and I have to get him through the next to years!!! Now that REALLY scares me! lol!

  • I am still alive!

    Well I have survived the last two INSET days without dying of complete boredom! In fact some of it was quite useful I guess, information overload though. I think the SMT forget that we are not robots and cannot take in copious amounts of detail and paperwork in the space of two days!!!
    The kiddies are back tomorrow and I will be there bright and early to welcome my new Year 7 form group! I think I will be more nervous than they are so will have to keep my fingers crossed for that one. Then am teaching two lessons which should be ok considering that I have planned nothing what so ever!!!! Must make a note to myself to actually do some sort of planning over the weekend and pray that the teachers planner I ordered actually arrives!!!

    Oh well going to drink at least a bottle of red wine and think about getting the iron out ready for tomorrow!

    Bye for now xxx
