Where have I been?

Argh!  Checked the date on the last post and I nearly fell over from shock that I only blogged once last month!  We must have been busy in class and life...
Next week your little darlings begin school full time.  Can you believe it?  Some of you will have full weeks with your younger children and some of you will have free time for yourselves...look out :-)
As you would have noticed, you children have been very tired coming for the four days with a re-coup day in between, they are going to be twice as tired this coming week.  We would recommend keeping a routine with your children, make sure they are in bed the same time each night, before bed have 30 minutes of non-technology time (read a book, listen to calming music, talk) and don't be afraid to say no to after school play dates.  While they will put on tears and tantrums at the time, much better than the next morning and struggle getting them to school...
We are so looking forward to having the children at school all day - as are their specialist teachers and the other junior teachers who will teach your children on a Wednesday afternoon on a rotational basis.  One week the children will take part in science, the next will be music, follwed by drama and finally LOTE.
