Is it just me? Or do you get them too?

I had a nose bleed in PE yesterday and few kids falling over, but blame the game we were playing its similar to net ball, the boys gets a bit competive and don't look where they are going or who's around them.

As long as you make the children aware of health and safety and lay down rules, you're pretty much covered for everything! Kids are naturally clumsy - I bet you all had a few injuries in your youth! I cut my finger off in a door when I was two. They sewed it back on wonky!

Yeah! I have only one more PE session to go before half-term, and this week, haven't had a single injury! Not even in the dance club I did after school!

Do you teach dance then? Get paid extra?

Yes, and, no. It's a voluntary thing. The kids absolutely loved a dance topic we did last term, so I'm doing a club for them. Just as long as I've got a contract you understand... and it's the most popular club at the school already, I'm sure they'd hate to see the club finish

their head, even if it seems very minor, I send them to the office. Recently, a child said she was OK and did not need to go to the office, but I insisted she went. Despite returning soon after, I felt that non-one could blame me or complain. Unreasonable parents make me behave in a way that goes against my better nature, but that seems to be the way of things these days.
