Done and dusted...

... my first year of uni that is! Who can believe it? It really has flown and I've had a whale of a time :) I've had a really good report for my teaching practice, just waiting to hear next week how I did in my exams. Fingers crossed that there will be no resits for me as I'll have to fly back from Tenerife to take them :)

My last few weeks in school were fantastic. I really was lucky to have an amazing teacher mentor who really let me practically have free reign with my lessons and the class. She bought me a beautiful necklace and wrote me a lovely report where she stated that it had been more like working with a colleague than training a student. How lovely is that?

We had a party for the children on the last day, and I was absolutely touched by the little blighters! They were truly devastated that I was leaving, most were crying and some were even howling with anguish, bless them!! Each had something nice to say to me individually and I really had to fight back the tears, I really was touched, these children were aged 8 and 9 and really did say some profound and heart warming things to me :) Two stood up in assembly to make a speech for me and present me with a lovely basket arrangement of flowers, which was completely unexpected.

So, now I'm a free agent until October. Have applied for a few jobs so I'm sure I won't have too much free time on my hands!

Spent Saturday scrapping with Gems, we had a fab day - this girl knows how to make you giggle!

I scrapped an old picture taken of my sister and I when we were small with my Gran. I wasn't sure about it at first, but the more I look at it the more I feel I have captured her spirit. Sounds a bit barmy I know, but the patterns and embellishments really evoke my memories of her.
Other news..... I got a new toy.....see if you can guess what it is?!


Catch you soon xxx
