Last night I had the weirdest dream, we had an 'on the carpet' discussion the previous day about our favourite stories. I was asked , as us TA's often are , to give an example . I told the children of a far away land where a nice friendly witch cast spells on all the children to make them be good all the time.
I dreamt that it was our schools 'turn' to have spell books for the day....each teacher and child were given a spell book and told we could use it as many times as we wanted and that at the end of the day everything would go back to normal.
By break time the whole place was chaos.......children suspended in mid air, a hundred or more little green frogs, a polar bear, princesses, power rangers, and one child locked in a rabbit hutch......that was my handywork !!! :-).......I couldnt help smiling to myself when I saw that child this morning and got to thinking , if only...............!!

When you are a TA
There are so many things you just except, like kids scratching their Nit infested heads, kids carrying the little grey sick bowls, most of which end up being worn as a hat when they realise that however much they look at you with those sad eyes, they are NOT going home !!
I can even cope with the occasional mishap of little puddles on the floor.......but I will NEVER ever get used to snot!
Often a child will come up with it on their finger asking for a tissue, but last week a little boy who I will call Dan was sat next to me on the carpet. As I looked at him he pulled his finger out of his nose followed by a string of snot ( I am heaving just thinking about it) !!! Then he put it straight in his mouth.....I was in pieces , I ran out of class and stood outside the door for a good few minutes trying to stop myself from puking, (very unprofessional I know) . Eventually I was calm enough to go back to class eyes still streaming......''Are you ok Miss G'' asked my teacher, ''we all wondered where you had got to , didnt we children? ''
At lunch time , however, Dan refused point blank to eat his peas , Obviously full up from his little feast. Eeeuuuwww!!!
