Black cloud, a rainbow & the sun - UPDATED

no, not a run down of my mood, but the boards in Edwin's classroom.

Edwin got time out today. He told me in a roundabout way by saying that he went to nursery today. Then he told me that you don't smack people, do you. Apparently, it was the boys who fight him but they're his friends so, it's a tricky one. 

He said that his name was the only one on the black cloud. Everyone else's name is on the rainbow and another boy's name is on the sun. Edwin says that he wants his name to be on the sun and I explained that he had to be a good boy, do as he was told and be nice to other people then maybe his name would be on the sun. 

Apparently, the boy on the sun wouldn't share the camera with Edwin, even though he asked nicely and waited his turn. Edwin seemed puzzled that this sort of behaviour means that your name goes on the sun. 

The only advice I could offer was to try again and if someone wouldn't share then maybe tell the teacher. Apprently Edwin did try and talk to the teacher but she didn't listen. It's even more frustrating because Edwin just doesn't listen to me when I try and talk to him about it.

I could cry. It reminds me of how much I hated school and feeling so frustrated at how unfair things seemed to be. Best days of your life? Bollocks.



Hang on, the whole situation is not a million miles away from where I spend an awful lot of my time.

*UPDATE* 

I've worked out why the boy wouldn't share the camera. 

Every week, the children in Edwin's class are allowed to bring in an item beginning with the letter of the week for Show & Tell. The camera incident happened on C day so I'm not surprised he wouldn't let Edwin have a go. One of the teacher's put the camera away to keep it safe.
