I booked an ASDA delivery for today 3 weeks ago and completely forgot about it - I hadn’t added any groceries to it I just made my basket over £40 to confirm the order - so today ladies and gentlemen I have £45 worth of red wine arriving with no actual food
@lucasjmaxwell@WestcottWriter@BlogLibby@glenthorne_high@BooksandChokers@_KnightsOf Update. This fussy 11 year old visited your library today Mr Maxwell. He came bounding home and told me he has 'been allowed to borrow a book for two whole weeks and it's a great one so he'd best get cracking on it'. Thank you for everything you are doing. Such a turnaround!
@cro05@lucasjmaxwell Hi Claire! This is a great idea but unfortunately I'm in school most days at the moment. Perhaps they could ask some questions on here & Libby and I could answer? 😃
@lucasjmaxwell@WestcottWriter Long shot I realise but Harrison's class are loving Can you see me? They are all 11 years old and have lots of questions about how it was written. Would you be open to a brief video call with them to do an author Q&A????
"You know what? I don't think we even needed Newton to discover gravity. Pretty sure David Walliams would have figured it out eventually." Harrison aged 11. Classic. No pressure then @davidwalliams
@lucasjmaxwell Help! I have an 11 year old starting GHS in Sept who avoids books at all costs! We've done a few classics (Holes, Wonder) but he wont try anything new! I know how fab the library is at GHS (eldest is in Year 10). How do I get him excited about books?
It just occurred to me that two adults home working and three children home schooling is basically a student house dynamic and the 6 yr old is the one that can’t cook or anything and everyone else ends up doing it. Shame I can’t escape to the library. Or pub.
Huge effort from all staff at @LEOacademies over last few days. Thank you! Great care & support for pupils, whilst also preparing food hampers for most vulnerable in our community, arranging device & WiFi dongle for all pupils needing one & creating online learning resources.
Students in tears to find out that the @YoungCitizensUK Mock Trial National Finals cancelled with no plan to reschedule.
Perspective, I know, but they have spent months preparing & rehearsing in the library with Ms. S & I, taking their free time, working together. Crushed.
When being scared and doing it anyway pays off - recall for a fab West End musical in the bag! Thanks @cheamparkfarm@AD1Dance for your support! 🤞#lifelessons
