Most people only get to celebrate the New Year once a year. Teachers get to do it twice.
The start of term in September is a new beginning for everybody. The whole school will be looking fresh, bright and tidy. Walls will be brightly coloured, ready for the displays, the clutter of a year of heavy activity is yet to accumulate and who knows, if your budget has stretched to it some much-needed refurbishment may have been tackled over the holidays.
Some late summer sun may still be blessing the playground as pupils eagerly or nervously wait for their day to start, while a good proportion of parents give thanks that the long summer holiday is over and the school routine can kick in again.
