We are rushing towards Christmas like a juggernaut full of baubles heading down a hill with failed brakes! Personally I don't like Christmas to begin until November is finished but now that everyone starts their shopping in October it is inevitable that the bug will get to everyone at some point! We must organise our tree this week - our office manager has been off for a week so we are a little behind.
On Friday we had a very nasty accident in the playground. One of our youngest children was involved in a collision with one of our eldest children and the end result was a very damaged little boy. He received excellent care from our first aider and we felt that we had treated him well. Sadly he had to go to hospital for further treatment but today he is back at school and seems OK. The trouble is this kind of accident always raises concerns about play arrangements. I am reluctant to separate the older children from the younger as they often play together very well and form good relationships with each other. Segregation, particularly at lunchtime, is very difficult to manage and actually limits the play options for many children. To an extent we cannot win - if we change to separate playgrounds the children will be unhappy but the parents of most younger children happier. We will have to do some serious thinking about the issue over the next few weeks.
