I am extremely glad that it is the start of the school half term holiday. This is a really manic time of year for us poor Science teachers, as coursework needs last-minute tweaking, marking, re-tweaking and re-marking, and then the marks have to be sent to examiners, after which the coursework for particular students has to be taken out, annotated, verified and sent off.I really hate coursework.
There is also the pressure of getting the exam courses taught before the students have their exams... many of which have started, so you try to teach a lesson on stem cell research, only to discover that half the class are absent due to an art exam.
I am absolutely shattered.
Somehow or other, I allowed myself to be persuaded to give a talk to our parish Youth Group, about Lourdes. Unfortunately, what with workload, preparations for our Parish Pilgrimage and Corpus Christi, I didn't manage to get any time to prepare. So, directly after school, I drove down to the church and sat in the small hall putting together a PowerPoint presentation on the life of St. Bernadette and what goes on at Lourdes today... which gave me the perfect opportunity to show off some of my favourite photos!
I then went to sit in the car until someone came to open up the large hall. I was so tired, I fell asleep......I'm now going to have an early night. Blogging will resume tomorrow.

Enjoy the half term! My hubby is home but is an edexcel examiner, (for our sins), so we won't be seeing much of him, I suppose, (and he'll be taking over the computer too - rats!).
YAY! How long is half-term for?
Enjoy your break.
One week. And what a week it's going to be... more on that later!
