A few weeks ago everyone was asking what the best presents for teachers are and I try to remember great presents I've been given. Since I've now just been given them I thought I'd share what I've loved the most. (I hope that isn't cheeky -I think the children's behaviour this last week has been the best present of all and I am very grateful for anyone who took the time to buy and wrap a present for me.)
Homemade chocolate crispy marshmallow cakes with packaging designed by child which were presented to me just before break time.
A present which had been wrapped multiple times like a pass the parcel. I only wish she'd insisted I'd opened it at school for the amusement of the class.
I also loved the fact that I got 4 bottles of prosseco despite being very pregnant. The class have not been officially told yet (HT like to leave it until last minute) and no one can believe that they haven't guessed! I think they must just think I've put on a lot of weight!
Oh and if your children know their teacher has a toddler, don't give them candles! I think this year has been a bumper crop for candles so I will have some very lucky friends! Some of them are really quality ones too.
Perhaps other teachers would like to share their thoughts...
