Mrs T\’s Grumpy Old Teacher blog

I have been out and about with a lot of children just lately and just want to say that I have always come back feeling very proud to be a teacher at Lidget Green. I don’t think I have had to be grumpy with any of the children while we’ve been out. They have behaved really well, listened and watched carefully, asked intelligent questions and generally been a credit to themselves, their families and the school. Well done, and keep it up!

I can’t believe it is more than six months since I posted on here – I can’t believe that I have not been a grumpy old teacher in all that time! The snow certainly made me very grumpy and here it is, back again.

I am glad the citizenship tokens are going so well – I love being able to reward good manners and thoughtful behaviour.

HOWEVER,,, if you rush ahead to open a door, pushing people out of the way, it does not count as good manners.

You know who you are, Master L!

If you’ve come to see my joke from the main page – Welcome, Bienvenue!

A man rushed into a room and said to his wife “Je t’adore”

His wife looked up from the book she was reading and said ” Shut it yourself, you lazy thing”!

Do I need to laugh for both of us AGAIN?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Mrs T said I could change her blog so it matched the others and I had to find a grumpy picture to go on it. I think I am going to be in BIG trouble. If you see this blog before she does please please please tell her how much you like it and how much it made you smile.

One of my favourite jokes is a very very old one – maybe even Victorian, Year 5. It goes:

“I say I say I say. My dog has no nose.”

“Your dog has no nose? Then how does he smell?”

“TERRIBLE!”

If you get that one (you don’t have to think it is funny, you just have to understand it), here is another, not so old one:

“I say I say I say. My dog has no dictionary.”

“Your dog has no dictionary? Then how does he spell?”

“TERRIBLE!”

Again, it doesn’t matter if you don’t think it is funny. I will laugh enough for both of us.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

and how grumpy was I?

“Why do you not post in the holidays?” you ask.

“Because I am not a grumpy old teacher in the holidays!!” I reply

… some young men of my aquaintance enjoying a chocolate moment in Whitby. Click on the picture to make it bigger and note which young man seems to have lost his teeth!

The ’studio’ was NOT a pretty sight when I went in there on Wednesday after you had all finished having lunch. PLEASE try to keep your food on the plate or the fork until it goes into your mouth.
