After working my first full week in year one with the deaf kids, I'm completely wiped! It's a massive challenge that I'm not really enjoying, but there's seven more days of it for me to complete before I start the course properly to get my QTS. So it's been hard but nice to find the lovings this week.
The sun has been a-shining over here this week. It was a lush little treat to sit in the park with my neighbour on Sunday, catching some rays and enjoying the view of nature in full swing!
With the daffodils in full bloom and the blossoms starting to show themselves, my walk to and from work has had a slight, but pleasant, change!
This is one of my all time favourite buildings in London. And more so when the sun is shining on it! As you can see, I've snapped it a few times, it's that awesome!
This isn't quite sun related, however it is bright yellow... Basically my Mum sent me this photo via what's app, saying she had found it in a box of my stuff in their shed. I was 9 and it was for a 60's dress up day at school!
There really are no words to describe it. I'll leave you to ponder if in fact I am a massive egg or not!
Tuesday's song definitely has to be I Am Mountain by Gungor. It's a blast it loud, hands in the air type for me! I can't sit still listening to this - something has to bop!
If you missed out on Monday's song, check it out here!
I'm committing and bringing to you, a full week of my current 'Turn-Up' list!
Enjoy Monday's treasure!
Alabama Shakes - You Aint Alone. This song is such a favourite. The voices are amazing. I love the mellow-ness of the beginning of it, then the more 'rocky/souly' feel the rest of it has.
I've been a bit non-existent in life, instagram and blog life, due to a lot of crap shitting on down on mah head. But we'll be back and running in all due course! This is the little 'pick me up' I've been needing!
In the mean time listen to this song - it's the bomb!
I'm a pretty big butterfly fan, especially of Monarch butterflies! So it was awesome to have some caterpillars delivered to our class in a wee jar, with some special food, and when they went into a chrysalis, we transferred them to a net and then watched them hatch sometime later! Tomorrow is the day we'll go for a walk with them and set them free into the wild!
This little fatty
Oh Keith, he's just such a flirt!
Deliciousness
I've been making a real effort to be healthy lately. Like going for a run. And this girl just does not run. But it's been working, I've been feeling great, and have been rewarding myself with delicious, healthy, home cooked meals!
Beanstalks
In 10 days, our class beanstalks have sky rocketed! They're nearly touching the roof! And have just started to flower!! Fingers crossed for some beans!!!
The final countdown
Well it is the first countdown, but certainly won't be the last of my trips back to New Zealand! There's only 25 more sleeps until I hop on a plane, and 27 until I'm back in my lovely hometown, Wellington!
This weeks Turn-Up Song!
This song is perfect for summer! It's off Pitch Perfect and just just a delicious song! Here's Open Season by High Highs
