Hi all, Thought I'd let you know what has been happening at the school where I work. Lately I have been the school nurse as well as a teacher aide so that has kept me very busy. I will be doing this for three months while the current school nurse is on long service leave. The first week I had the accident from hell and after that it hasn't been a lot more than bandaids and nit checks.
At the same time the school set up a knitting club on Thursday lunchtimes. Out of about 100 grade 5/6 children 34 signed up to learn to knit, we couldn't accomodate any more than that, and about 12 are on the waiting list. Every recess and lunch I have at least 2 children in the sick bay knitting away merrily. Today a boy turned up and asked me to teach him to knit, he had gone and bought his wool and needles out of his lunch money so that he could learn to knit. He couldn't fit into knitting club. He wanted a challenge, he told me. By the end of an hour he had knitted about three rows and he was very proud of himself. I said I would teach him to tat next.*bg* One of the teachers was down teaching the aboriginal class and one of the toughest children in the school was fiddling around under his desk. When she asked him what he was doing he showed her his knitting! She told him not to hide it and let him knit while she was teaching the class. It has been an interesting experience and the children are coming to visit me and show me their knitting and ask me questions about mine.The other day I was knitting two cardigan fronts together and one the children gave me a confused look and asked me how I was knitting two separate pieces at the same time. I laughed when I told her I had two balls of wool. Cheers for now, Yvonne. To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED]
