A load of bananas.

So...my first week in school for this term is almost over. I do feel a bit of a fraud since it has been so well planned and it has hardly been taxing for me. They are a pleasant enough class with no real challenges. I do get slightly irritated when they interrupt and say things like,"Oh, we don't put those books there!" or " we are allowed to use felt pens" when I have said "No." But generally all has gone well.Today we had a Fire Practice....at lunchtime!....and I was on duty. All credit to them, a Fire Practise at lunchtime is certain to throw the cat among the pigeons but in fact it all went quite smoothly with the children following normal procedures. It appeared the only problem was accounting for all the adults.This term the Reading Groups are all named after fruit and I was again working with the 'Bananas' who unfortunately, though I am sure their naming was coincidental, happen to be the bottom group."Hello, my little bananas" I greeted them as I sat down."We're not little" said one."No, you are right," I said. "You're big bananas. You are all a bunch of massive bananas. In fact I have never worked with a group of bigger bananas before. You're just a load of whopping great bananas."I do go on when I am enjoying myself.Speaking of 'bananas'...1o minutes before lunchtime today I suddenly discovered that I had been wearing my jumper back to front all morning!Doh!
