Terrible Tuesdays



Tuesdays would have to be our busiest day of the week. They are jam packed with on airs and someone is always on the phone, or so it seems. Miss S still thinks Mondays are the worst however I think that has more to do with them just being Monday. 


As they are so overloaded and hectic I thought I would give you the Tuesday run down.

Note that the time increments change according to how busy we are.  My On Air time table in the schoolroom is in 15min increments up until smoko and then changes to half hour.

 Reading Lessons are 15min, Learning Support Lessons are 1/2 hour and On Air with teachers are 1hour. We fit everything around these lessons from papers to meal breaks.

This last session of the day can last varying amounts of time and depends on each child. Mr Yr 1 is usually done around 2pm on Tuesday while Mr and Miss Yr 4 are usually done at around 2:30/ 3pm. Miss Yr 7 tries to be done by 3:30pm. We try do do something fun afterwards, if we have time like art/craft, games or cooking. Sometimes though the kids just want to run around outside or bury themselves in the t.v for a while.




During the day we also fit in 'own reading' and 'own writing' when ever it works in best.

As I said Terrible Tuesday.
