Monday I arrive at work with the Monday morning blues but am soon smiling when the children run up to meet me.

I arrive at work with the Monday morning blues but am soon smiling when the children run up to meet me.

The first task is to set up breakfast while Louanne, our unit co-ordinator, takes the register.I make sure all the children have had enough to eat before we split up into our base rooms.

Today's activities include painting our faces, the alphabet game and number songs - having appeared on Michael Barrymore's 'My kind of music', singing is one of my firm favourites.
