Monday 16th August

Class had their first assembly today. Thankfully everyone behaved themselves. Karen McManus asked me what I thought about a reading tutor scheme between her pupils (Class 4) and mine. It does sound like good idea. I'll have to think about it

Today we started number work. Sirius Black earned himself a star for his (newly introduced) star chart, as did Sarah. His behaviour this week has also noticeably improved. I hope it lasts.

Note: Ask Jackie to type up permission forms for Teddy Bear's Picnic next Monday.

Tuesday 17th August

James and Michaela were kept in at lunch today. The two got into an argument over the coloured pencils. This resulted in a horrible mess when they knocked over the Arts and Craft trolley.

Sirius earned another star in number work today. He's doing very well. Owen Tysdale also earned a star.

Handed out permission forms. Expected back by Thursday.

Wednesday 18th August

Started English today. Used the alphabet flashcards. Sarah Church did very well. Had to send Matthew Knight to the back of the room because he kept pulling Michaela's hair.

I was told Sirius Black and James Potter didn't eat their lunch. They used their mashed potatoes to build a tower instead. I talked to them about it and they said they wouldn't do it again. Somehow I doubt it.

Thursday 19th August

Collected in most people's permission forms for Teddy Bear's Picnic. Jennifer Lee, Katherine Marsh and Owen Tysdale need to bring theirs in tomorrow.

Art again today. Half the class made plasticine models of their favourite animals. The other half of the class used paint. We're putting up a display. Matthews model of a giraffe was very good. The only problem was when Sirius splattered Severus Snape's painting of a lizard with blue paint. He insisted it was an accident. I can't prove otherwise but somehow I think not. Michaela found this all very funny and splattered her painting of a cat yellow.

Apart from the Art episode today went very well. Sirius and James caused no problems at lunch and there were no hair-pulling incidents at storytime.

Friday 20th August

Jennifer Lee and Katherine Marsh handed in their forms today. Owen Tysdale forgot to get his signed. I'll have to contact his parents over the weekend to get permission.

Excluded Sirius from Singing today. Sent him through to Class 2. Luckily he caused no problems for Miss Canning. James Potter refused to sing, "If you're happy and you know it". He said this was because the actions were silly. For some reason I think he just wanted to cause me problems.

Daniel Masters fell over at Lunchtime and grazed his knee. This needs to be put in the incident book. Michaela Jostler hit Severus Snape with the end of a skipping rope. Lauren Jones was on playground duty and said it looked like an accident. This also needs to be put in the incident book.
