Hi everyone,
I am 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby, everything is going well with the pregnancy and I am getting to the point where I think I should be slowing down a bit. However, I have just worked out what I have left to do in my remaining 9 weeks (!) left at school and wondering how on earth I am going to fit everything in.
I teach a Core subject and have three external exams (approx 140 students, revision, past papers marking, etc) coming up in the next fortnight or so. I also have a scheme of work to prepare ready for the new Year 7 curriculum in September, and a trip to plan (although I won't actually be going on the trip, as I'll be too big by then!).
In addition to that I have a TLR for a whole school role, and I have three 'whole yeargroup' trips and a whole-school enrichment event to organise, as well as trying to get assessed for an external award (already about halfway through). These events are already in the calendar and I cannot cancel them.
I currently work 8-5 or 5.30 at school with 5 mins break and 20 mins for lunch, as well as half a day at the weekend to catch up with marking, and I feel like I'm not sleeping properly.
I am just after some advice or other people's experiences really, as I'd like to see how this compares with other people in my situation. I would love to delegate all some of it, but at the same time I don't know how best to go about this (my line manager for the TLR role is very newly appointed). Am I making a fuss over nothing in terms of my workload?
Thanks in advance
