MY 30TH BIRTHDAY DO
Yes my 30th birthday has landed early this year - actually 3 days early.... Children don't need a kick up the bum these days to get prepared to celebrate... oh no, all they need is a teacher generous (and stupid) enough to go out of their way to organise such an event!!! No, I am not complaining.... I just can't see why I'd be worth it....!!!
You can't have a party without party hats - right? WRONG!!! I didn't get one - I wasn't looking like a fool....! I asked a child to make his party hat and I was stunned at his response - "No, I'm not making one!!!" Twenty minutes later after making me not 1 but 2 birthday cards, he decided the hat was going to be fun to make.... Incidentally, one card he made was from the teachers - just him pretending he was Mrs Bell and Mrs Ryder. Teachers don't have time to do their own...... One little tip - never glue a hat, you end up with glue in your hair!!!
So we have party hats - maybe we need some food - yeah - how about sandwiches and crisps and cake? (Oh and gingerbread men) What the hell happened?? Weren't there any school dinners today? That food went fast...... hungry children! Pop to wash it down....
Now do we have any music? Of course we do..... a cd!!! Everybody sing.... "Celebrate Good Times, Come On!" not forgetting "Happy Birthday!"
Let's play musical statues...... 27 kids have finally released some energy..... all parents will be pleased - but I'm not being 30 next week - can't do this again....
Hang on..... is it really my birthday on Friday or have I brought 4 balloons, don't know how many cards..... a cake, a banner and two wrapped up presents home for some other strange reason?
Might have to do it all again on Thursday at my other school...... Wish me luck!
