A Sticker – Weds 8th Feb 2017
By Jeannette | February 8, 2017
Gosh, it feels like ages since I’ve blogged, I’ve had one of my “retreat into myself a bit because there’s too much going on” times.
Being a mum to two very individual but similar-in-traits-at-times SN children requires the ability to second-guess 24/7, add in my two upcoming operations in the next few months and the inevitable upheaval that will cause, as well as the slack period that always occurs for Hubbie after Christmas and you end up with a “swan-like J” (calm on the exterior but splashing around metaphorically underneath). January felt like that, all day everyday and quite a bit of the nights too. Roll on Spring!
So, what’s the deal with the sticker title? I hear you ask.
Well, D’s school had a new head teacher at the start of this term. She has big boots to fill as the previous HT had been there for decades and was very much part of the fixtures and fittings. Someone who knew all the children and their little ways and their parents.
A big change in any school but D’s school worked very hard in ensuring that the pupils were involved in the recruitment process (they submitted questions) and the new HT was in school quite a bit in the previous terms.
The new HT made her mark quite quickly and has settled in well. Approachable too which is a must, isn’t it?
Anyway, today she was in D’s class and D received this:
For her excellent handwriting and “good work”. D could not wait to show us after school.
Such a simple gesture but one that definitely made our girl’s day (and her proud parents!)
