Well this week has seen my sessions return to zoom, but not just me sitting in my kitchen and the students and staff at school……….oh no! We are zooming in from my kitchen, school, people’s lounges, hallways and kitchens. I was a nervous wreck trying to figure out how to make everything work and trying to me ‘interesting’. Talking of being interesting I failed in one session as a student fell asleep at home! I found the funny side but I’m hoping to pop my game next week and maybe the student will stay awake for some of the session: fingers crossed!

So I don’t think my sessions were interesting but it was good to know who was zooming in and what their expectations were. Next week I’m introducing signing to music and Kim’s Game as well as getting the students to search for a fruit or vegetable in their house. Well, that’s the plan anyway……..

And of course Girls Group is back!!! I love facilitating Girls Group and we are back to talking about our periods again. That and Tok Tok…….obviously.

I’ve also discovered a great PMLD YouTube channel called Jen-Sory which I’ve been using with one of my young people to engage her at home. Jen is clearly an amazing practitioner who provides short videos with a focus on stimulating individuals with PMLD (Profound & Multiple Learning Disabilities). This week we’ve been on a Winter Walk with Jen which was great and thoroughly loved by the young person I’m supporting.

This weeks disaster was the 3 ingredient brownies I made……..oh they were dry and very thin. Clearly using the wrong tin and leaving them in the oven too long did not help!! Ooooops oh dear. Better luck next time.

I think that’s it for now. I’m clearly effected by my insomnia as my mind has gone completely blank……

See you next week and take care. Remember you can only do your best.

Take care and stay safe x
