Another half term ended.

It was only 5 weeks but it's been a long half term for me.
My year 4s are still great but as we all get tired they are pushing me to see how far they can go with behaviour - although, they're really a bit high for others too, but more for me I think.
Have been reassured that I shan't be going back into KS1, which I'm really pleased about. I'm definitely a KS2 teacher!
Went to visit the middle school I'll be going to after half term and they seem great - very much want me to do what I need to do for my standards, and not what lessons they need covering. Phew!
The school is 4 times as big as the one I've been working in and is a different world! Everything works differently and I shall get completely lost. I can see the advantages though -loads more resources, loads more people to bounce idea off of. I'm, interested and excited in a nervous kind of way about going there.
I've written a supporting statement for NQT pool applications -and this week I've seen the first adverts for NQT suitable jobs in my area starting in Sept. I'm going to ring tomorrow to arrange a visit and get an application form. Scary!
Been ill all week with the most horrendous cold which is probably 80% sinus infection. I WILL go to the Doctors next week. I've been suffering since about October and I just haven't the energy any more!
When will the mornings get lighter and the days brighter?
It's bizarre - I enjoy teaching but it's such har work, and the mornings are so dark and glum, that I often don't feel like going in, even though I know that I enjoy most of the lessons and the kids are lovely.
Hoping that better weather and lighter mornings, and not being sick all the time, will improve matters.
Anyway, shouldn't be on here. I have a mountain of paperwork and assignments etc to get done. Holiday? What holiday?
