Woke up this morning still not really well enough to work and decided that another day of rest would do me the world of good. It certainly did. More time asleep this morning, although it became difficult to settle as my ribs were hurting – presumably from all the coughing and sneezing of the last fortnight. I’m still not back to 100%, but feel well enough to go back to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to teaching PE with hurting ribs, but I’m sure I’ll manage something – it may turn into a lesson where the children do a lot of leading… The other issue I have is that I’m not too sure what was taught to my class over the last couple of days, despite me sending planning for lessons I would have taught. My experience as a supply teacher certainly allows me to see things from the other point of view – but I would always try to follow what was given as carefully as possible in order to help out whoever I was replacing that day. After all, that’s the point of the job. However, having seen it from a full time job side, I know that not all people work like that. So I don’t know what I’ll walk into tomorrow morning. A good night’s sleep will hopefully lie ahead.
