All in a Day 9

Posted on December 15, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

Monday was an incredibly busy day that started with early notification of Covid cases requiring bubbles to be closed and messages to parents. Having already spent some of the weekend sending communications out to let parents know that the children wouldn’t be at school for the last week of the term, to have to do … Continue reading →

All in a Day 8

A good day in all where various tasks have been completed and some great successes. Children really starting to lead and show what I would describe as outstanding qualities. I’ve said it before and will say it again; children can do anything if you allow them to. Loads in school today wearing their Christmas jumpers … Continue reading →

All in a Day 6 and 7

I had not felt great the last two days so to feel okay now, is brilliant. Nothing related to covid, more the continual grinding out of busy school days with never a second to spare. Knocks on the door for a minute chat (that are never a minute); emails pinging in (the majority of which … Continue reading →

All in a Day 5

It’s getting close to the end of another day and whilst the surroundings may be different the work doesn’t stop. There’s been a bit of catching up today with some bits but also being sure to take some time and rest a little, not feeling great but not having any symptoms related to Covid. I … Continue reading →

Highlight of the day – getting a text back from my dad who is in hospital. Been a couple of days and without being able to visit, it isn’t nice. Glad he appears to be feeling a bit better. When your day seems to have a few hours spare in it, you do feel positive … Continue reading →

A busy weekend with grassroots football back on, tennis lessons at David Lloyd’s and the annual invasion of snowman coming out for Christmas. There was the now weekly family quiz Friday evening to kick the weekend off. These events are the only way to be sharing time with family members who would usually be visiting … Continue reading →

It’s been a really busy day but it was started with some really good stuff. We had our third Young Leaders meeting and it was really well chaired by a year five pupil who managed the meeting brilliantly, making sure everybody got to share ideas and getting the actions down on paper. I can see … Continue reading →

I decided The Daily Juggle didn’t quite read well so that is in the bin. All in a day however is what it’s about so let’s go for it… There really is only so much that you can get done and even though we all know it, we still find it hard to stain which … Continue reading →

The Daily Juggle – 1

Posted on November 30, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

It started with Days Out and moved into Summer Days. Now it seems like day after day of juggling and adjusting so The Daily Juggle has a ring to it. We go again… Each day certainly is a juggling act now. School leads are on the front line and putting teaching aside (which is a … Continue reading →

To Blog or Not to Blog…

It has been a while since the last blog and it certainly is a case of habits and losing the momentum. I write that but who on earth reads these anyway? Just the wife and Nige (hello both). As I reflect on the past few weeks and think further back to the days of Lockdown … Continue reading →
