It has been a busy week in school, with lots of practical activities this week, which has been really good, we did a test and I got 96% which I was very pleased with . Just need to pass the placement assessments now and that will be it. I should be starting my placement on Monday but as we are still awaiting my police check I cannot start until that is back, so I am very disappointed, I have been waiting 3 weeks next week, and the delay is due to the fact that my name is common. As soon as they receive my check I can start the following day, fingers crossed that it come through soon. We had a lovely day on Friday, everyone had to take a plate for lunch, I took pudding as the Indians, Ethiopians, Fijians’ were bringing curry and different rice’s, the food was FANTASTIC, Jason would have been in his element. It was nice to be able to try something different.
