January term starts - with new names!
and I am wonderful.
Nope.
Really, I am!
Not only have my children come back with limited loss of knowledge (although I'd rather refer to it as replacement of knowledge by something more necessary to them) but I have also managed to come up with a way to identify my children in this here blog.
Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, let me take you back to a time long ago, when anyone my age was young and saw reruns of a marvellous programme called Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
I get to be just me.
The headteacher of what is a very fine establishment is Col White (had to be really - although did you know Gerry Anderson chose the name because white is a mix of all the other colours?)
In my class is Lt Green, Captains Magenta and Blue, with Harmony and Rhapsody Angels respectively. (Yeah, I named the 1-1 adults after the Angels - what else could I choose?)
In my Numeracy and Literacy classes we also get Captain Brown, with Symphony Angel, Captain Grey with Melody Angel, and a variety of other small people with their own small issues. They may well get their own names if a full supporting cast is required.
Our beloved SENCO will be referred to as Dr Fawn.
And I think that covers everyone!
Obviously there will be invasions from time to time. Yes, I would love to cast the various outside agencies as the Mysterons, but that would hardly be kind of me lol, as their intention is to help, not the destruction of life on earth (although is is indeed useless for me to resist anything that they say......) . Perhaps that particular 'moniker' will be left for the dark forces who do not believe that children who are autistic should be in mainstream schooling. Oh yes, and several still work in schools.
I still like Mysterons for the outside agencies though. But I had a very postive experience with an outside agency this week, and so I'm quite pro them at the moment.
Other plus points this week!
Capt.'s Blue and Magenta have returned to school, knowing almost all the things that they went with before the holidays. They have settled in nicely again, and Capt. Blue is used to his new routine.
Lt. Green is having one of his more wildly irritating phases again. I try and be calm, I try and be gentle, I try and be all the things that I can be, but sometimes I just want to say "Will you STOP that!" Only there would be no point, because he doesn't even know he's doing it half the time.
Rhapsody Angel has been away for a week, and so we have had a stand in Angel, who was amazing. Unfortunately, money being what it is, it meant that she was removed from another child to support Capt. Magenta, but the balance of needs was looked at and found to be in Magenta's favour, so that was the way it went.
I'll finish this later!
