I think I should treasure this day. File the memory away under "times to remember how easy it can be" in the deep recesses of my brain, and pull it out on occasion whenever I'm in need.
Why so good? Well, as we had the prospective parents' evening the night before, we had 1st period off (when I would have had year 10) and so I had only one class, year 7, my best group by far. Not only that, but I also didn't have to do any teaching because I'd organised a trip to the library for them, and the glamorous librarian would teach them instead! Marvellous. The 'lesson' went well, they were pretty well behaved, and it was nice to have them complimented as a class by the librarian.
I was relaxed and happy throughout the day, and managed to observe two lessons so I reached my quota of 3 for the week. I also had a planning session with the SLT who was coaching me, which was useful. I was not even too upset when the chocolate fingers I'd purchased disappeared in the course of a lesson.
The only problem was I didn't allow myself time to plan or mark, both of which I needed to do, so I told myself that, when 3.30 rolled around, I could leave and go to the pub on the condition that I came in super early on Monday to sort it out then. I practically ran to the pub, and drank myself silly with my colleagues, although no vomiting this time around. Have a lovely weekend - I know I will!
