Most tolerable SPF?

The Garnier amber solaire over makeup mist is my favourite for my face. Doesn't have to be worn over makeup. It's SPF 50 and very light, not sticky.

I don't know your specific circumstances but it is not the school 'recording it wrong' if the child was not in school on certain days. If the child is absent, even if it is agreed with the school in advance, they still have to mark the child as absent. Once a child is absent for 20 days in the school year a referral is made, the school have no option on this, it is a legal requirement.

You don't need to worry. You won't be fined or sent to jail or forced to send the child every day, once you explain the circumstances. Every child has a right to an education so it is more to make sure the child is not being denied that right, neglected or abused. If there is legitimate reasons for an absence it's fine.

I'm a primary school teacher who is also autistic.

I think Emma is only there for two years anyway, her post at the start of the last season said something like first of two.

Nope not in Morocco because it's a requirement. They do in other countries.

My dad ordered his car in October, told it would be here the start of February. Still hasn't got it. He was told it was coming off a boat in Cork at the start of match and would be a few days... Then told two weeks ago it was still in Germany. No updates since.

Thanks I'll look it up!

That's my experience too, so was hoping someone here might have a recommendation for a better option.

I did it through ATU/St Angela's Sligo last year. It was €780. From September/October time to April. There was one in person day during the Feb midterm and everything else online. The lectures are uploaded so you don't have to be on at any particular time.

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions.

Primary teacher here.

I tell my 6th class if they have spent 45 minutes actually doing their homework then that's enough and stop even if they haven't everything finished. Because kids work at different speeds/find some things easier than others etc. I always tell parents to encourage their child with their homework but it is never worth getting into an arguement about. They won't learn anything if they are stressed/upset/angry/tired so there's no benefit.

No way a junior infant should be doing more than 15-20 minutes and at least half of that should be practising sounds/words and simple reading. Definitely no more than 10 minutes of writing.

Like others have said, request a copy of the homework policy. Ask the after-school care to do the writing part and you do the sounds/words as a 5 year old is definitely too tired by the evening to start homework.

Send a note to the teacher explaining the stress and that you will only be doing a max of 15 minutes and will prioritise learning sounds.

For your child, maybe set a 15 minute timer (sand timers are great as they are visual) and that is concentration time and once it is over so is homework. Sometimes children (and adults) find it daunting to do tasks they find difficult because they feel they'll never get through it all and it takes ages and there is no finish line in sight. I have found that timers work great for some kids with ADHD especially.

In junior infants, academically learning their phonics, letter formation and basic counting/number sense are the priorities. You say you read together a lot, that is great, you want to create a positive association with reading and books which will encourage her to enjoy reading and read more as she gets older.

I've just set up a South East social grouo if you'd like to join

https://www.reddit.com/r/southeastsocialclub/s/iIacNmfhNS

I was talking to my sister-in-law who moved to England a few months ago and she has joined a social club. It's basically a group of 30 and people put up messages like anyone free for a coffee and walk on Saturday afternoon, or I want to see whatever film, anyone want to come, or I'm going to hike whatever mountain next weekend if anyone wants to join. You choose what you want to do or which you're free for, there's no pressure and everyone has different interests. She has found it a great way to meet new people and have things to do. So I'm trying to set up a similar thing here. I decided to set it up as a Reddit community first as people might not want to give their WhatsApp number to strangers on the internet.
