A good day today all round, although it was quite disrupted by a visiting group (which over-ran on each session).
Some frustration from the staff, having our schedules messed up, but on the plus side the work combined exercise with learning and the children loved it.

Sad part - just spoke to Tiger-Mum.
Tiger is signed up for Dance Class after school every Thursday.
He is also used to going to Cine Club (viewing a film in the school hall) every month.
It always used to be on a Wednesday - I'm not sure why it has changed, but there will be a good reason - probably availability of staff.

So this time there is a clash.
Mum explained it when they got home.
Tiger was still crying at 18.00.
He could not (note, not would not) accept that they would run at the same time.
He repeatedly said that he would go to Dance Club after the film.

I assured Mum I would be there in the afternoon, so at least if it was still an issue I would understand and if worst came to worst I could call her.
Quite often, he will wake up and not reference something that was a serious issue the night before.
But I do understand it might be a problem again when the children are split into separate groups at the end of school.

Given that today went off-curriculum my class will appreciate a hand tomorrow anyway.
And I have stayed for previous Cine Nights, so Tiger will not find it odd (this one came in under my radar for some reason).

Poor chap.
