2 Desks now!

What an amazing few weeks it has been! Have you ever been taken out of all you know well in a situation, and being plonked straight back into another, in a known environment, yet a totally different perspective?

I have seen the Home school here grow from conception into reality, known and loved all the teachers and students there, but never expected to be there myself!

Helen returns from her holidays tomorrow, I downsize from 3 desks to 2, yet take away with me a whole lot of perspective and new understanding!

It has been a hugely challenging time, to look after 5 children, ages 7-14, through school time, and Vacation care time(yes, it should be a known thing!) to get to know the families in a whole new light, to see an entirely different perspective of life, and people. There's now much to think on, reflect, feed back and follow up!!

It was lovely to be there though and encourage the children in different areas, to do vacation Care the way I used to back in Australia (Ahhhh swimming, and ice skating! So much fun!)

So will see what the next days and weeks bring!
