Hello, it has been ages since I last wrote, it's because I have started back at school and it is madly busy! Trying to sort timetables and get children into my routines, my new class are quite naughty and are very slow at everything so have to train them to speed up at tidying away, settling down to work etc etc... I sense it is going to be a LONG, noisy term... argh!

Tim and I had a fab weekend, lots of chilling out (I even had a nap on saturday!!! BLISS!) and went to Bakewell on Sunday for an explore. I discovered an AMAZING toy shop which had an entire floor of jigsaw puzzles... was soooooooooooo mesmerizing... I loved it! I could have spent a small fortune!

Then today, I have just had my staff meeting in Chatsworth Gardens, was wonderful. A bit of fresh air after a long day in the classroom was just what I needed, it's a shame it takes so long to get there from where I work. The sculptures that are there for the next few weeks were amazing, I loved the baby one above, it was so incredible as it was balancing on it's tiny hand!

This one was made up of words and random letters. We are bringing my class for a school trip some time in October, I am hoping to have a week or so off timetable and do lots of art work! will be fun fun fun!!!
Below is a Salvador Dali one, quite funky but the boys in my class are bound to get silly over the nipples... hmmm boys!
Here is a great circle of bodies made of metal with tiny bodies all over the bigger ones. I am going to do photography with my class to recreate it and some distance perspective photos too!
Here is Einstein looking for love on the internet...
Oscar scowling at Einstien for hogging the computer...
Well no gossip at all this end, I have an exciting weekend ahead - back to Leamington on Friday night for a night out with my friends from Milverton, I miss working with them soooo much! Then I am off to the zoo with Laura, Fi and baby William on Saturday! Tim is off to the Lakes if it is sunny, if not he may come with me or have a chilled out evening here!

Best scoot as have work in the morning and am tired out, big hugs, gemma xxx
