Never enough time......!

Whilst sitting in McDonald’s, and trying to figure out how to order on the app (harder than I thought….), I was pondering when I am going to write my blog. It then suddenly dawned on me……do it now! I am waiting for my car to have a new tyre and a heap of new brake pads. Totally unexpected and not budgeted for, so I have time.

So, to stop me worrying about the abuse my credit card is getting…..here is my first blog of 2024…..

HELLO 2024

I think it is fair to say that this January hasn’t been as depressing as others but in terms of ‘luck’ it has been ‘interesting’…I managed to put my thumb through my brand new pair of snag tights that were a gift from my best friend at Christmas. Now the car and then…….the list goes on but I’ll save you.

At the end of last year, some of the children I support were in hospital and were experiencing very varied responses from the health service…..this is fuelling some of my work for this year. Health inequality remains an issue and one I want to be part of changing.

This term I am focussing on ‘appropriate’ in my extended PSHE sessions. I decided to make a Dice of Dilemma and a Board Game. Why? But there you go. I’m now thinking of questions, choices and dilemmas to use in the game. A personal highlight for me so far: one student said “I cannot talk or think about penis’ when I am eating chocolate”. Fair point.

I’m busy planning some sensory sessions for the children with PMLD I support…..no-bot is a good book and will be nice to sign along to too. Talking of which, I’m hoping to increase my presence on YouTube and social media with Makaton, sensory bits and pieces and hauls.

Garage has called - car is ready for collection! Byeeeee x
