Day fom hell and it's not even half way

Hawthorne and prickly pear

 

"People who do this sort of thing must be mentally ill"
Doubt we'd get away with that nowadays lol
Hope you get something from the CCTV and catch the little @£*+'s!

 

No, a stand alone LEA nursery school, with a higher than usual sen register because we get a lot of referals

We have an 'inkling'; it could quite possibly be someone with a problem living next to the school who dislikes the noise of the kids and the trees 'too near his boundary line' (they weren't). Plod are coming on Wednesday and have said that they will take away the cctv and talk to the kids. From the afternon's children's reception to the news they are ready to see the perpetrator in stocks. They want the 'bad man' to come and say sorry to the trees!

 

Jeez! How many blokes does it take to clean a pond?

 

They'll love that....
presuming they were saplings recently planted? Why not invite the person you have an 'inkling' about to come into school and have a chat over a brew, as to which plants/trees would be acceptable....i know this sound a bit idealistic, but you'd be surprised how effective this kind of strategy can be.
When I worked for an Ecological consultants, we had about two miles of 'newt fencing' destroyed by vandals....(that's a lot of fencing)....it was made from polythene, so was very easily torched.....went round to the local primary schools and high school, did a bit of PR and got the kids to help reinstate it....we knew which kids had destroyed it, but rather than do the Police thing, we got the school to 'choose' a group of volunteers to help....it was never vandalised again...

See if your school neighbour likes gardening....

 

Me too - the only trouble is the afternoon is gone now! Just spent 2 hours (yes, 2 hours!) on the phone to Sage trying to get my computer payroll programme sorted - the result, I can't now even open the programme!!! Need a real computer wiz-kid to help, think it's to do with parallel imports on a Mac .....

 

Oh DO keep us posted.
I love a good British drama.
BLAST, how these TLB forums always make crave tea.

 

We've been advised by the police not to make contact due to incidents in the past

 

The lady that lives opposite me does training for sage, shall I throw stones at her house for you?

 

Ah ok. My wife teaches in ebd school but sounds like you get similar sh1t! Anyway it's good practise for her, for dealing with me !

 

Good old plod.....always looking to improve community relations
Unless this person is psychotic, it's always worth changing tack, otherwise it's an ongoing issue that never gets resolved....

 

does she let you go to the toilet before break?

 

There it is in a nut shell.

 

Sorry to hear about the trees and you having a carp day

 

Break? Pah no breaks here. I just tie the bottom of my trousers up........

 

Ooh I could tell you a cautionary tale about dungarees tucked into wellies and a kid with a bad belly

 

Haha - I think I can imagine the outcome ...

I hope your day got better and the rest of your week flies by without any further nastiness xxx
