Busy Busy Busy

So busy at the moment! I think I've had to turn down 6 or 7 schools recently, cos just no room. March truly is the busiest month of the year for me. But lots of fun within that busy-ness. Yesterday was brill dressing up as a pirate and joining the staff and pupils up at Ackworth Howard School. Mr Smith as Where's Wally was very amusing. Every time the staff needed to know something, someone said 'Ask Wally'.

And today, Stradbroke Primary in Sheffield had World Book Day a day late, as they do every year, so that the hyped up, energetic children can go home and deflate slowly for the weekend. Good plan I reckon! It's a large school (very large, actually), and therefore the full assembly hall this afternoon was an array of colour as 100s of children had transformed into book characters. Highlights of the day for me was Mrs Shelley's Smelly Wellies (brilliant work Reception), Lucy Cutts' written story (ALL her own work - another bit of genius from the 5s and under), and the story of tweety, the bird who loved Fish and Chips.

The diary tells me that 19 events to go before our end of month holiday to Spain. Take a deep breath, Con, take a deep breath...

Rakeem, great poem. Thanks for sharing it with you. When I was younger I used to be a gamer guy too. And boy! Did I hate losing to my brother. We'd stay up til the middle of the night trying to beat each other's high scores. Keep writing the poems!
