As we come to the end of the year stress starts to appear. As someone pointed out "
you have a lot of wrinkles" my response was "
Those are experience lines." We all handle stress differently and while I can't give a great way to deal with it, I have always found that chocolate helps. All I know is that the stress wave will pass and then it is holidays. So dig in for the last few weeks peeps as the match isn't over.
Lets look at the week ahead.
Captains for 2018
Today the process for applying for school captains was announced. We discussed with the Year 6's the process they need to go about to apply for the role and then gave information about things they may wish to include.
