Help!!!!!!!

So if you recall, I have been promised that there will always be a class teacher with me.

And today I was going to try something difficult, I wanted to go round to each child with their book and try and help them catch up on their work.

So finding a) no teacher and b) her youngest 4 year old child in the class instead was not the best start, but someone did pop in saw I was managing, which I was actually,  amazingly and she went.

The kids sung the song we have been practising beautifully, so that was nice as it was just as the owner of the Ashu, who has been building the school went past. And then onto the tricky business of giving the student a hand out expecting them to get on with it or play a card game whilst I went round class and hope all is well. Which is mostly was. I was just finishing up and just spending a few minutes with the child who finds everything difficult, when all of us realised that lots of men, with lots of cameras were passing by.   Not just passing by but taking a picture through the glass and into the class. Luckily most of the kids who were beginning to play up a bit sat and pretended to work while I just prayed as yes it was the deputy prime minister yet again on a return visit but this time with press entourage to witness my class and film it HHHHEEEELLLPP. (No hundreds of forms getting parents permission required here as far as I can see) I tried to keep the kids vaguely engaged for ages whilst the party moved on but remained within sight. A few of the kids went out and were filmed with their books. Then I finally escaped.

I wandered past year 2 and thought why isn't  there someone in there when I realised that I was supposed to be in there, I was 20 minutes late!  I had been so busy trying to preserve things with year 1 I had forgotten year 2.  The kids were most put out and did not want to work, but I knew behind the next door inspecting this fantastic school was the Deputy Prime Minster and his party.  So I soldiered on and made the kids accept that the class was now.

I had just finished and was writing up my class notes, when I realised that the Head who was due to be taking the after school class, was of course still with the Deputy Prime Minister so I thought I had better just start teaching the Head's class. Originally I thought it would be for a few minutes so just introduced them to animal snap and animal dominoes, which is what I had been doing with year 0,  but in the end I covered the whole class. I have just finished.  Time to go home and have a lie down I think heaven knows where the video of yours truly will end up, but hopefully not in the media. Or at least please edit it so I knew what I was doing.
