A shorter post this month as one of us has been at work during the run-up to Easter.
Busby says, “Maybe next time, I could go in instead of you? I imagine that I’d be a great hit. How hard can teaching a class of thirty six-year-olds in the run up to Easter actually be?”
We have been sending Easter e-cards and trying not to get hooked on this game…

One of us has been celebrating his birthday…
“Yes, I am now nine, however, curiously, some days I feel more like 63.”
“Happy birthday to my brother, Micro, who reads this blog post, and to our brother, Scampi, wherever he may be.”
“We can all take heart from our fellow Jack Russell, Zen, who is also 9 and achieving great things. See below!”
“The music of Karl Jenkins is a gift to humanity.”
Terry Waite.
We have been listening to this piece of music by Sir Karl Jenkins…
One of us had a great time when children’s author, Simon James, came in to talk to the pupils.
He was SO entertaining as he talked children through the design process and showed two of his book. The hour flew by – quite a feat with young children.
Busby was interested to hear that he read ‘Mr Scruff’, a book about dogs ressembling their owners. Busby went a bit quiet though when he found out that this is something that can really happen.
You can visit the author’s website to read some of his books and see how he creates them, here: http://www.simonjamesbooks.com/play/
And finally, we like a good cartoon and have been enjoying the work of Tom Gauld…
Thanks to Cathy for sending this one from the 2nd March. You can view more of his Guardian cartoons, here : https://www.theguardian.com/books/series/tom-gauld-s-cultural-cartoons Please be aware that this is a link to a newspaper.
