Duffryn Primary School, Newport

Year 5 & 6

For the first time since I've been here I had a booked day cancel, that happened at 6 30 on the Tuesday night, but luckily they had a replacement arranged already. They must have seen me coming because it was in Duffryn. None the wiser well neither was I so I said yes. Actually I say yes to all days so this wasn't strange. After finding my way there I had a chat with the head. "we're a sharing school and if you need help and don't ask for it you won't be back" fair enough I thought. Till lunch was fine but it was a wet day so the kids didn't get a chance to go outside, humm that could be a problem. Couple that with the fact there was a pantomine after lunch and the anticipation got too much. The actors were half an hour late and in that time I had two students removed to the deputy heads room. After that I enjoyed my first pantomine a interesting rendition of Cinderella. The conclusion of the panto shocked me most as the deputy got up and thanked the class and then told the students if Prince Charming hadn't got Cinderella he would have gone there becasue she was a bit of alright and he was single.
Anyway that was the day, after school I was told I must have had an ok day with only two removed and also that I was the third supply teacher that week.
On another note I have since found out about Duffryn. It was a muffty day and they all dressed as street criminals and drug dealers. Apparently this was not special dress, but normal dress.
