FRIDAY staff room

[mumlove]

Morning everyone.

Sun is still shining so hopefully a nice day after yesterday.

Hope you all don't mind if I rearrange some bits to fit in a nice bed and cosy extras for Katy . Just let me know if any of it needs moving.

going to do my paperwork today!

Morning!
Mumlove, do you fancy doing my paperwork too? Oh, go on..... you know you want to!

Sunshine here too so i will be hanging up washing outside after the school run.

Fetching a 6 year old to take to school (mum had suregery so cannot drive) then dropping DS off at preschool and then..... and then..... and then.....

I HAVE TWO HOURS WITHOUT CHILDREN

No, numberfour does not often find herself without children around her YAHOO!!!!!

Good morning, sun shining here, melting the last of the snow.

We are off swimming, this morning, and DH is home for the weekend this evening

No.4 what will you do with yourself

Oh ML, have left some chick flicks and choccies by Katy's bed, if I dont see her tell her to REST!

Shoshe, that would be telling

Morning all

Got a bit much on atm - what with my mum being in hosp, DH (& now DD - hopefully only a sore throat) being ill & OFSTED coming next week; so I will appreciate the bed However each of the things on my list mean more work rather than more rest

can you help me here

hello - ofsted now coming mon or wed - although she said "so if I'm coming monday what time do I need to be at yours by before you leave to toddlers?..." and "on a monday what is the traffic like at 915am"?

So I am guessing maybe shes coming monday?.........

katy - what a nightmare! Deep breath and get stuck in - concentrate on one thing at a time otherwise you poor brain will fry - go steady x

shoshe - haha not near GM thankfully - although half my towns YOOF will be ending up there I suspect! I am sure I know preceisely where you are given DHs job - I'm the town with a train station!!

waves to everyone else!

Ahhh Nomore who have you got as Inspector? just put initals if you want, the same ones do our area too.

If you get BC I had her and she was great.

Afternoon all, haven't been working today as its my birthday, and I kept ds3 off of nursery so that dh, ds3 and 4 and I could go shopping and bits.

Now gearing myself up to collect the older ds's and start work at 3.15!!

Hope everyone has a good day,

Katy - make sure that you rest as well as work - use the bed {hugs}

Shoshe I have CA

Last night spent ages looking up all her inpsection reports online and she has NEVER that I could find given an outstanding...so thats me out of the running then :-( And I so wanted OS.....:-(

She used to be my under 8 Officer, (before Ofsted), will check everywhere, make sure ALL safety things have been triple checked and that you know child protection routines.

Put a call out for London11, she had CA last month.

(I will ring her and ask her to give you a heads up)

i was going to do paper work today but had so much housewk etc to do. no mindees today but so much on my mine re ofsted visit. cnat find an inclusion policy good enough and really dont know how to do blody planning

my inspector bc in croydon area

illhavethis, have you checked the good old Bromley CM website or NCMA website for inclusion policy?

nomoreamover CA was pleasent friendly and chatty but also very thorough and a bit picky!

She looked at all paperwork adn round every inch of house and garden. She asked me lots about what I had put in self evaluation and how I would implement the improvements. She also asked me to explain my strengths and weaknesses.
She wanted to see written plans and observations - preferably linked to the 6 areas of learning. She also asked me to give her examples of activities and resources used for each of the 6 areas. She was keen on mark making.
She was hot on health and safety.....asked where my toy cleaning rota was! I had to admit I have no such thing!

If I think of anything else I'll post again. Good luck, be confident.

london and shoshe thank you soooo much!

What a :-(

Luckily safety is my strongpoint....however toy cleaning rota?!!! Bugger!

I'll be busy this weekend I fear!

Evening all.

Katy - Hope you got some rest today.

London - Hows the bump coming along

Puts fingers in ears

My laminator is making a funny noise

ofsted are bloody amazing

TOY CLEANING ROTAS???? FFS!!!!!!

sometimes i need to blink or breath:

risk assessments
attendance registers
obs and assessments
planning
fire drills
4000 permissions from parents
policies
visitors' book
complaints book
photographic evidence
accounts
daily diaries
menus
AND NOW TOY CLEANING ROTAS!! on top of everything else i have missed above

london11, where are you based?????

katy, why are you laminating at 7pm on a friday! open the wine, kick off your shoes and watch some cr*p tv.

BTW: had PP here today for 1hour 40 min! lovely mum and lovely lovely little girl. fingers crossed.

I am laminating & policy correcting because OFSTED are coming on Monday & I am spending tomorrow writing 4500 words for OU

I have a toy cleaning rota (mainly so someone else can do it & I can check up on it)

No.4 London is with me

oh dear, looking at that list, and what has been said about planning and obs on other threads, i am so not doing enough
[worry]
good luck with pp number4

Katy - good luck with the Ofsted inspection. Remember to schedule in 'me time' for yourself over the next few days... even if 'me time' is just sitting in a nice warm bath, with a glass of wine in your hand.

Nick I don't drink maybe I could take it up as a hobby

The bath is scheduled in, along with 4500 words of OU essay, putting up a new tent cover (well making the bacan sarnies), cleaning he fishtank (& buying some fish), a scrap of paperwork, a bit of tidying up, and a tiny bit of panicking

Hot chocolate then perhaps

Milk intolerant?

am I being awkward?

How about peach juice? & plain chocolate half covered biscuits

mumlove - Bump getting ridiculously big and only going to get bigger I fear! All well though and I am loving feeling them kick hell out of me. Picture on profile was taken a month ago!

numberfour Am in Dorset, same town as Shoshe.

nomoreamover numberfour's list is a good reminder....written record of fire drills and attendance register were scrutinised by CA however all my lovely photos of fab kids doing fab things were barely flicked through.
