The temperature has definitely dropped over the last couple of days and it's turned very cold. I'm going to have to start setting the heating to switch on in the morning before I get up. It was very cold in the bathroom this morning and I didn't want to get out of the shower into the cold air!
Today is my least relaxed day of the week with the mix of children I have. One of the children who comes today completely changes the dynamic of the group and it's a bit of a challenge for everyone. I have to spend a lot of the time overseeing their play to make sure the day flows nicely and without too much drama. This particular child will be getting their 3 year old funding at Easter and, while I'm usually happy for the children to have all their funded hours here, I really think this child would be much better suited to a bigger setting. It's a shame - they love being here and are so excited when they come, but I think their energy and enthusiasm would be diluted and slightly more manageable in a bigger group.
I've decided that this week we're finishing our Autumn activities and next week we're going to go into full Christmas mode One of the children is going away before Christmas so I want to get as many of the activities, crafts and our Christmas party done before then. We'll then have the final few days before I break up just chilling doing some last minute bits. What date is everyone breaking up?
Will anyone be watching the Bake Off final tonight? Despite the slow start, I did end up enjoying it, although I won't miss it when it's finished. This season hasn't particularly inspired me to bake!
Enjoy your days everyone!
EDIT: I typed this up before the children arrived and I've just realised I forgot to press send
