Day 129: 9/5/13 Today I didn't end up having 5/6's after all. I was just doing teacher release which was grand! I was in a grade 1/2 class first and they were doing time. Some were drawing what they did at certain times of the day, some were matching times to clocks. It was grand but they were noisy. Then I went next door to another 1/2 class- the one I was in last week. They were going to play a spelling game - writing the letters of a word, cutting them up, ju...

Day 128: 8/5/13 So today it was a Grade 1 class in the same school as Monday. There was a student teacher in there observing but he wasn't much good to me as he didn't know where anything was and he was really sick- coughing and choking most of the day! The class were okay but one of those classes that follow their routine to the letter which is really annoying as a sub as they go mad when you do something different and spend the whole day telling you your wron...

Day 127: 7/5/13 Today I was back in the school I was in most of last week, with a prep class. It was the same class Id had on Friday. The principal retired two weeks ago and this prep teacher is involved in the interviews for it. She had plenty of work left and they had some specialist subjects aswell so it was grand!

Day 126: 6/5/13 I got up today as if I was going to the school I was in last week and getting an early train. I was expecting them to call really early as they have rang around half six before to change/book other days. But I didn't get the call until ten to 7. I was starting to think that I wasn't going to get one but thankfully I did! The school is on the same train line as last week but even further out, so I had to run out the door to get the 7:09 train agai...

Day 125: 5/5/13 I'd a lovely long sleep in this morning- it's great when you don't have to set an alarm! I woke a few times but I didn't get up until about 12. I had gotten a text during the night that Galway won the u21 so when I woke I looked up hogan stand and a few websites to see how it went! It sounded like Galway were clearly the better team but Cork still tested them in the end. Four corofin lads is great! Alan must be thrilled. Emma had a really good p...
