Rydal Penrhos Daily Notes – June 10

Day 55 from Rydal Penrhos school’s keyworker childcare provision – 17 pupils, 8 staff

Little projects have been happening around the school building when we have a spare moment between cleaning and supervising.

The photos in the Prep reception foyer had pupils on them who have now left the senior school…in fact, I was told recently that one has now qualified as a midwife!

I decided that it was time for change and yesterday we put up new photos.

This was quite a protracted task; I’m not sure how they do it, but picture frames appear to weld themselves to the wall when they have been hanging for a while.

Despite only hanging from a single hook it took considerable cajoling to loosen them from their position and in some cases, brute force.

Luckily I have staff who have completed ladder use training but Mrs Williams and I still watched on with a sense of anxiety developing.

It’s funny how these ‘little’ jobs can turn into a mammoth project.

The keyworker pupils walking past the new photos yesterday spotted the difference straight away and were thrilled to see pupils whom they knew on the wall.

Success, another job ticked off the list!
