Woman.

But one of the translators is called Kenneth, so maybe we can hold him responsible.

That's lovely bm. I always wonder about these translations. There's always a thought/feeling that they don't quite translate as beautifully. I speak another language that doesn't translate so well into English. Not that I'm not the best articulate person anyhow.

I get to hear some quirky translations that come directly from the French:-

that's the hospital talking about the charity

don't bring your strawberry around here (still haven't worked this one out)

a carpet (woman that just lies there)

A d!ck's garage (think that one is self-explanatory)

Strawberry's eh? Well, it sounds insulting, so I think we could use that.

Waving finger around, don't bring your strawberry around here, girlfriend. Mmmm-hhhhh. Now, where's spunky?

I take it that the strawberry relates to crops and vines and wines. Perhaps a strawberry infusion in a wine or some delicacy and that it relates to grades of strawberries. Where, you strawberries are not as good as mine?

Just a thought. Ah, I'm a bit anal that way. Who would have thought? Aries?

A Risk Analysis is an evalution, and an awareness, of the location a child with special needs will visit, that may effect their special needs. Eg.....

Case Study: John is in a wheelchair. He also needs to be catheterised. His class are going to a school camp.

Risk Anaylsis for John:

****Access to toilets and shower. Equipment may be requited, such as a shower chair. 2 staff are needed for bathroom activities. Non-slip mats to be provided.

****Catheter procedure equipement required. Staff member A will be responsible for the equipment, checking off of toilet schedule. Catheter medication schedule to be checked by staff member B.

****Camp activities suitable for John are the Nature Walk, Kite Flying and Magnet Fishing. The Flying Fox is not a part of John's Camp Programme due to high risk of injury.

Action Plan for John:

****Catheter equipment is dropped or lost - Call home immediately. Call local doctor's surgery or chemist for additional equipement.

****Catheter medication dropped. Call home immdediately. Arrange for extra medication or send John home.

Case Study: Gemma has severe panic attacks triggered by anxiety-causing environmental and social factors.

Risk Analysis for Gemma:

****Loud noises and children's yelling can trigger Gemma's outbursts.

****Gemma may strike out at another student when in an elevated state.

****Staff member A to monitor Gemma's body language whilst engaged in group activities.

****Gemma will participate in A, B @ C activities. Gemma will not participate in the evening disco due to the loud stereo system.

Action Plan for Gemma:

****Staff member A to use themselves as a physical barrier between Gemma and other student.

****Staff member A will remove Gemma to quiet space and wait until Gemma's anxiety has subsided. Gemma will then return to activity.

A successful outcome for a student with anxiety (usually associated with autism), can rest on the support of staff.

I see that Miss meta has ditched Godzala in favour of some sexual fetishes. Well, then, huh!!!!!

She'll be back.

***PA pulls out meta voodoo doll and starts sticking pins in***

Oh, wait, that won't work. Get her where it really hurts.

***PA pulls out Rafe voodoo doll and slowly, painfully dissects body parts, starting with ones that most directly relate to sexual fetishes***

Ouch! A very very wicked laugh.

I didn't think this through very well. In coaxing the kids to coax Mr PA to make lunch, I shot myself in the foot, so to speak. I can't be seen sitting here on the computer (effectively, doing nothing) while he's cooking. Damn.
