They’re supposedly the best days of your life, but
few of us would honestly want to relive them.
They are the years in which we have our fi rst
crushes and our fi rst heartbreaks, when the
world begins to open up around us even whilst
our attention is narrowing on exams and academic
success (or not). They are supposed to be carefree
compared with the world of work that is to come, and yet
we know that the mental health of teenagers is just as
fragile, if not more so, than that of adults. In the entirety
of a life our school years are really not that many, and
yet they seem last for ever.
I did my GCSEs 30 years ago this summer and left
school in 1991. I recently was included in a Facebook
school reunion page, and it was so strange to see
photos of people that I hadn’t seen since the late 1980s
now looking so middle aged and yet so familiar. More sobering was
the discovery of the small number who had died since then. Equally
odd is to see my own boys go through secondary school and, in the
case of the history GCSE, studying the same subjects. Not having had
a particularly enjoyable time at school, to walk back into a secondary
school so many years later still raised all sorts of unpleasant emotions
inside of me. Perhaps you have had a similar experience. After all, I
suspect that very few of us really enjoyed our teenage years, even if
nostalgia has varnished our memories.
And if our memories of our years in education seem so mixed now,
then what is it like for the present teenagers negotiating the same
issues as us as well as contending with social media, cyber-bullying and
lifetime of debt if they are to choose to go to university? And to those
who are feeling the pressure, I would offer these words of experience:
Firstly, you don’t defi ne the rest of your life by the age of 18. You don’t
have to have your career sorted by the time that you leave university.
Don’t let anyone pressure you into thinking that the mistakes that you
might make now will be life-defi ning. They almost certainly won’t.
Secondly, growing up takes a lot longer than people used to think.
Legally you’re an adult at 18, emotionally I’d add another ten years on to
that. You don’t have to have it all sussed by the time you leave school.
And thirdly, in Jesus God knew what it was like to be a teenager,
suffering from the same hormonal changes that all of us have been
through. I know that in my less-than-happy school moments
the knowledge that God was with me and understood me
even when I didn’t think anyone else did was a life-saver.
The start of a new school year can be tough for pupils
and teachers alike. I pray that you will know God’s grace
in the classroom in the year ahead.

That’s really good Jesus. Where did you
get such a great idea?
What kind of
school do you
go to if you’re…
…an ice cream
man?
Sundae school!
…a giant?
High school!
…a surfer?
Boarding school!
…Sir Lancelot?
Knight school!
A general rule of
grammar is that
double negatives are
a no-no.
‘Sir,’ said Milly, ‘Would
you punish me for
something I didn’t do?’
‘Of course not,’ said
the teacher.
‘Good,’ she said,
‘because I didn’t do my
homework’.
‘Why are you
late?’ the teacher
asked Billy.
‘Because of the
sign on the road,’
replied the boy.
‘It said ‘Slow,
school ahead.’
‘What do you get
when you subtract
897 from 1824
and add 176 and
divide the answer
by three?’ asked
the teacher.
‘A headache!’
replied her pupil.
What do
you say to
comfort a
grammar
teacher?
“They’re,
there,
their.”

Helping our Children t
To fit in with our theme of Education and
Learning, we invited headteachers from
around the Woodseats and Beauchief
area to tell us a little about their school
and their plans for the coming year. Here
are a few who took up our offer..
WOODSEATS SCHOOL
Woodseats Primary School is a
large school but we think of
ourselves as one big family.
We are passionate about our
community and celebrate all
of the differences we have
and work hard to ensure
everyone is included.
Our aim is that our
children become
successful learners,
confident individuals
and responsible
citizens and our evolving
curriculum will enable this.
We want our children to appreciate
and understand diversity in their own
community and beyond so that they can
learn to live harmoniously in a diverse
world.
At Woodseats Primary School, we
believe that learners achieve their best
when their education successfully adapts
to their individual needs, teaching the
whole child and we make it relevant to our
local community and the needs of society
today.
This year we plan on making it our best
yet; lots of exciting learning taking place
in and out of our classrooms. Our aim
above everything else is that children are
excited about their learning, enjoy coming
to school and feel safe and happy so that
they can thrive whilst they are in our care
and achieve all that they possibly can.
Mrs Sinead Fox, Headteacher
MEADOWHEAD SCHOOL
From day one my guiding principle
has been that every student at
Meadowhead should be given the
standard of education and treated
with the respect, care and empathy
I would want for my own
children.
We have introduced
a number of
changes this year
to strengthen the
standard of education
the school provides.
Improvements in
teaching and learning have
been at the core of the significant changes
introduced this year.
The introduction of non-negotiables for
teachers and learners have brought about
big improvements in the classroom. This
is leading to better progress and a more
consistent learning experience for students.
The school recognises that GCSE
success is dependent on good literacy skills
and with this in mind, we have introduced
a daily reading session for all Year 7 to 9
students. Children at Meadowhead are
now reading regularly and teachers have
been effective in reviving their interest in
literature and books.
As we move forward, parent and student
feedback will continue to inform and shape
the school’s policies and practices. We
look forward to rolling out a new curriculum
next year for Key Stage 3 which aims to
inspire students to enjoy and embrace
learning, creating a stronger foundation for
GCSE studies in Years 10 and 11.
You’re welcome to come along to our
Open Evening for prospective parents of
Y7 on Thursday October 3 from 6-8pm.

to Learn
MERCIA SCHOOL
At Mercia School, we offer an
education that is traditional
and academically rigorous. We
believe in providing a structured
and disciplined working
environment in which all
pupils excel.
We provide pupils
with a core body of
knowledge, upon
which they can
refl ect critically and
creatively about a
broad range of issues.
Our pioneering curriculum
is designed to stretch and challenge pupils
to reach their goals. The Mercia curriculum
pays particular attention to the English
Baccalaureate suite of subjects as well as
sport, music and art. At GCSE and A-Level
we will offer a balanced academic pathway.
Our school motto Scientia Unescamus
means ‘Let us be United by Knowledge’.
We expect all our pupils to approach
everything they do with this in mind and
we pride ourselves on our commitment
to academia. Our strong ethos ensures
that we are ‘united’, creating a positive
atmosphere of support and success.
We have high expectations of everyone,
and we take discipline very seriously. We
expect our pupils to behave impeccably
and to show politeness and compassion
at all times. In turn, our pupils benefi t from
exceptional teaching, fi rst class pastoral
support and a culture of mutual respect.
Please come along to one of our Open
Events for more information:

In the very beginning, it may
seem that a baby does
nothing but eat, sleep, cry,
and fill its nappy. But the
baby is learning too. It can
see and hear what is happening
around it and can communicate
its needs and interests to others.
Parents help their babies learn by
playing with them.
Babies have the ability to see
faces and objects of different
shapes, sizes, and colours. They
can tell the difference between
the voices of their parents and
others. We’re surprised when they
mould their bodies into our arms
or shoulders. We marvel at how
they came into the world able to
suck, communicate certain needs
by crying and, at times, calm down
on their own.
Most infants can do all of these
things as soon as they are born. In
fact, research shows that babies
start learning in the womb.
A helpless new born baby!
We all love them, don’t we? A
relatively blank page which will
change dramatically in the first
year in particular.
From being this helpless
newborn to becoming an active
toddler, an incredible change
takes place in a very short time.
During the first few months the
baby’s brain and body are learning
to live in the outside
world.
How wonderful is
that first time your baby
smiles at you?
He starts to lift
his head, to use
his hands.
Gradually
he tries to
manipulate the
world around
him, reaching out and using those
hands more and more.
He starts to chatter and to laugh.
He has changed from rolling
around to now being able to sit up
(with a little help).
He may start to crawl and he
can soon sit unaided.
He loves simple games like
peek-a-boo, he loves singing and
chatters non-stop.
Soon he may be standing up
at the furniture and moving quite
speedily (this is when you need
eyes in the back of your head!).
By the time he reaches his first
birthday he may well be walking,
he has started to feed himself,
he can say a few understandable
words and, without a doubt, he
knows what he wants!
So, in 12 short months this
helpless little bundle has
transformed into an increasingly
independent little person.
During my 31 years as a
childminder I was privileged
to witness this transformation
many times and boy, what a
transformation it always was!
As a childminder, it was a
privilege to help individual babies
to develop, building on the time
they spent with their parents. By
communicating with parents, I was
able to recognise that individual
babies differ in their needs.
Some cry more or are
louder than others. Some
prefer more activity and
others less.
When I meet those
children now, many in
their 20s, I feel proud to
know that I helped them to
learn and develop
when they were
in my care.

Teaching Through Parables
We all love a good
story; there is
almost an inbuilt
attraction which
draws us to both
telling them and listening to
them. Stories create magic and
a sense of wonder at the world.
Stories teach us about life, about
ourselves and about others.
When trying to teach a new idea
or get someone to consider things
from a different perspective,
the help of a story never goes
amiss. Throughout history, they
have been used to communicate
important information or familial
legacy.
In the Bible there are many
examples of storytelling for the
purpose of teaching, encouraging
and even telling people off (often
without them realising). In fact
one of the greatest storytellers
was Jesus. He used parables
to answer questions, to explain
difficult ideas and to open
people’s eyes to the heights and
depth of God’s love.
In Luke chapter 15, Jesus
tells three parables, one
after the other, about
things or people who
are lost: the Lost
Sheep, the Lost
Coin and
the Lost
Son (most
commonly
known as the
Prodigal Son).
In each
story, Jesus
illustrates to
his audience
just how
important and
precious every
single person
is to him (even the tax collectors
and sinners gathering round),
each time showing a little more
of God’s character as ardent,
merciful, forgiving and most
importantly full of overwhelming
and generous with love which is in
stark contrast to the judgemental
mutterings of the Pharisees and
teachers who are watching on.
One parable that has even
made it into common vernacular
is the parable of the Good
Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37) which
Jesus told to answer the question
“who is my neighbour?”.
Rather than just directing
people and telling them the ‘right’
answers, Jesus’ use of parables
encouraged his audience, then
and now, to enter in to the stories,
imagine the part(s) we might play
and examine what this tells us
of the state of our heart and the
course of action we must take.
Like all good teachers, Jesus
allows those he is teaching to
engage with issues in a safe
space (in this case within a story)
so that when faced with similar
situations, they and we like
them are better equipped
to deal with or at least
recognise the paths open
to us and hopefully make
better decisions and
behave in more
loving and
thoughtful
ways as a
result.

The first time that I made
flapjack was a disaster. I
put what I thought were
the right ingredients into
a pan, spooned it into a
tray and left it on the side until my
friend came round. When it came
to eating the flapjack it was raw.
My friend asked me how long
I’d baked it for – I hadn’t put it in
the oven. She started laughing
and asked: “Didn’t you follow the
recipe?” I hadn’t even looked at a
recipe. She rolled about laughing.
And that was a life lesson I
learned the hard way – recipes
are there for a very good reason!
Twenty-plus years later and I’m in
my kitchen making flapjack and
following the recipe religiously.
For those of us who work in
learning and development we
often refer to this as learning
through experience. There are
other ways in which we learn,
through reading, watching
others and, importantly, through
reflecting on what we’ve read,
seen or done and then planning
our next steps. The ways in which
we learn, particularly when and
who we learn from, have changed
dramatically in recent years. We
tend to search on Google, look
on YouTube or search LinkedIn or
Twitter articles.
Training departments which
have kept pace with this
change now focus on taking
a 70:20:10 approach to how
they provide learning and
development opportunities in their
organisations. This approach
acknowledges that 70 per cent
of the learning we do is ‘on the
job’ or through experience; 20 per
cent is through talking with others,
such as mentoring and coaching
conversations and being part of
groups or forums; and ten per
cent from formal training courses
or instruction.
For those of us who have grown
up with the opportunity to go
on in-house or external training
courses as a way of developing
our skills and careers this change
can feel as though companies
are dis-investing in their people’s
development. In some cases
this may be true. However, even
where this is the case, I would
argue that access to learning and
development has never been
greater or easier – it just requires
us all to take control, pick up our
phones, open our laptops or even
visit the local library. A quick chat
with someone on the bus always
reveals something new too!
There is still a case for faceto-face
learning in order to
learn a skill or test a skill out
and so training departments will
continue to exist. In my mind
the main challenge that all this
access and opportunity brings is
the opportunity to reflect on our
learning. We might not like the
experience of being laughed at
by a friend, but in my experience
having a friend ask some key
questions certainly helps the
learning to stick.

A
core aspect of
Christianity is learning.
Jesus’ first followers
were called disciples,
and the term ‘disciple’ is
not just reserved for those initial
followers, but Christians today
are still disciples of Jesus. The
meaning of the word ‘disciple’
contains the idea of not just
following, but also learning,
almost like being an apprentice
of Jesus. So, St Chad’s, like all
churches, should have an aspect
of learning within its life.
To start with the obvious, St
Chad’s has plenty of opportunities
to learn about the Christian faith
on Sundays. There are children
and youth groups which help
young people to learn, but there
are also sermons (a talk or
address). Sermons, a key part of
a church service, are not solely
about learning, but that is a part of
them. Sermons help to explain the
Bible, who God is, who we are,
and what life is really about: they
paint the picture of God’s story
and perspective on the world.
The words of written prayers
(sometimes called liturgy) help us
to learn about these things too.
But on Sundays at St Chad’s
people also learn by doing,
for example, through the
physical action of receiving Holy
Communion. As we partake in
Holy Communion something
about all that
Jesus has done
and will do is
communicated
to us in a special
and particular
way.
Outside of
Sunday services,
there are plenty
of other areas where St Chad’s
is involved with learning about
the Christian faith, which include
weekly small groups as well as
engagement with schools and
pre-schools (for example, through
assemblies, seasonal services,
and Open the Book). We have
occasional evening courses too,
this year has included Alpha
(an opportunity to explore the
Christian faith) and the Bible
Course, which aimed to cover a
sweep of the whole big story of
the Bible.
Apart from learning about the
Christian faith, St Chad’s is also
involved with other aspects of
learning, whether it is through
practical skills in the uniformed
organisations, children taking
part in music groups or marriage
preparation sessions.
Recently a Growing Leaders
course helped people think about
and develop leadership concepts
and skills. Of course, people also
learn by doing, and there are a
variety of areas for serving in
St Chad’s that people can learn
within.
Being a disciple of Jesus
involves learning about our own
identity and purpose: that we are
loved by God and we are called
to love others. To get your head
round that, and how to live it out,
takes a lifetime of learning.

Lay Ministry Learning
In September 2018, at the
tender age of 51 years, I
enrolled on a lay ministry
course to learn more about
God and the Bible and
discern how I can best serve him
in the future. The course is run by
St Peter’s College, a part of the
Sheffield Diocese of the Church of
England.
The course is affiliated with
the University of Durham and
effectively forms a part of the first
year of their theology degree.
The first year is split into three
parts and commences with an
Introduction to the Bible. The
second term studies Mission
and Ministry and the final term
concludes with Church Doctrine
and History.
I have always enjoyed learning
and quickly became fascinated
by many of the different Bible
passages studied and the views
of the teachers and biblical
scholars.
The process of theological
study has made me think deeply
and prayerfully about what I am
learning and what I truly believe.
I have very much enjoyed
studying mission and evangelism,
which surprised me. I have
always been slightly intimidated
by the word evangelism which for
me carries with it much baggage.
I have learned that mission is
initiated by God in a revelation
of love and divine invitation to
make central in our lives a loving
relationship with Him.
We can all take part in
the mission of God through
discerning what God is doing
around us and to then responding
with whatever we have to offer.
Today, in 2019, mission is very
much about sharing God’s love,
responding to human need,
transforming unjust structures in
society, the pursuit of peace and
reconciliation, and looking after
our planet.
I have learned that God has
been in dialogue with humanity
since the beginning of time and
that all mission is rooted in God
as a fountain of sending love.
Twenty-first century Britain
has increased in its complexity
with the explosion of technology,
mass migration and increased
diversity in a multi-faith society
with many Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists and traditional African
religions bringing welcome
diversity and enrichment.
For me personally, I like the
idea of mission as dialogue with
people of other faiths and of
none as it points to a journey of
genuine and deep encounter.
Both parties give and receive
in a two-way exchange of gifts of
value. Where there are authentic
relationships characterised by
respect and love, there can be a
sharing of our deepest treasures,
and we all can learn and grow.

Sheffield’s Universities
Sheffield would not be the
vibrant city it is without
its two universities.
They are hugely linked
to the economy and
development of the city not
least through being among its
largest employers. Their buildings
dominate the skyline and students,
their social lives and their need for
accomodation, have a huge impact
on the economy of Sheffield.
Art and culture also benefit
immensely. The two universities
are hugely influential in the areas
of science, technology, business
as well as regional planning.
The University of Sheffield is a
member of the Russell Group of
leading research universities. It
ranks 78th in the
world and 13th
in the UK, and is
in the top ten per
cent in terms of its
research.
It began life as
The University
College of Sheffield,
an amalgam
of three older
colleges, and was given its Royal
Charter in 1905. A multi-campus
organisation it has around 20,000
undergraduate students and 8,000
post-graduates.
Alumni include Lord David
Blunkett, aviation pioneer Amy
Johnson, author Lee Child
and Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe,
Commissioner of the Metropolitan
Police.
The university’s Faculty of
Science is associated with six
Nobel laureates. Major research
partners include Boeing, Rools-
Royce, Siemens, Unilever and
Boots.
The university’s Student’s
Union was founded in 1906 and
has nearly 300 student societies
and nearly 50 sports teams. The
Students’ Union has been voted
best in the UK for ten consecutive
years by the Times Higher
Education Student Experience
Survey.
Sheffield Hallam University can
trace its origins back to 1843 when
the Sheffield School of Design
was founded to provide skilled
designers to support Britain’s
industry. Then via Sheffield School
of Art, Sheffield City Training
College and Sheffield College of
Technology, Sheffield Polytechnic
opened in 1969. Sheffield City
Polytechnic was established in
1976 and Sheffield Business
School opened in 1986.
Finally in 1992 Sheffield
Hallam University came
into being.
The university is the
11th largest in the UK
(out of 167) with around
30,000 students. It has
30 research centres.
Notable alumni include
Nick Park, creator of
Wallace and Gromit, double
Olympic medallist Dame Kelly
Holmes and fashion designer
Bruce Oldfield. Jarvis Cocker was
famously a student at the Sheffield
School of Art.
Since 2003, Sheffield Hallam
Students Union has been resident
in the ill-fated National Museum of
Popular Music.
It is difficult to imagine life
in Sheffield without these two
massive institutions. Of course, we
also have Sheffield College and
many other seats of learning. We
are indeed well served in terms of
adult learning and education.

A
few weeks ago my small
grandson and I went to
London for a three-day
adventure. We stayed
with family, visited the
London Transport Museum and
went on 15 trains. I chose fi ve
story books for the journey from
Sheffield to London St Pancras.
My rucksack was heavy. He’d
put two books, including Mr
Adventure, in his rucksack. I
carried that too!
Like most children, he loves
stories! He loves to hear them
again and again. He likes to tell
stories though he can’t always
fi nd the right words. He loves
to hear made-up stories but
especially true stories about his
dad as a small boy.
Adults are just the same. Stories
help make sense of our own lives,
whether we’re the story-tellers or
listening to someone else. Stories
expand our view of the world,
sparkle our imaginations, cause
us to question and wonder, clarify
what matters in life.
When I was working with
children and families in a church,
local primary schools regularly
came for a class visit. One class
got caught in a sudden torrential
downpour as they walked up
the hill. Thirty drenched sevenyear-olds
burst into the building.
Off came their shoes. Dripping
coats were draped over the pews.
Adults drank hot tea, children
hot squash with biscuits. They
were bursting to tell me about the
blocked drains and torrents of
water.
As planned, we walked
around the church
building. Then I
told them Jesus’
story of two builders,
using umbrellas, duplo towers,
sand, grey rock-playdough
accompanied by sound effects.
One builder laid fi rm foundations
on a rock for his house, while
the other quickly constructed his
house on sand. After a violent
storm only the house on the rock
was left standing. Jesus wanted
his hearers to know they’d only
lay lasting foundations for life if
they lived as God wants. Three
years later these children hadn’t
forgotten the story of their storm.
“Ro, do you remember when...?”
They’d then tell me Jesus’
builders-in-a-storm story.
By the stories they tell, anyone
spending time with children will
communicate what’s important
to them. So Christian parents
communicate what God means
to them by their personal stories
of faith. What’s more, they can
do this by regularly reading and
sharing the amazing collection
of stories found in the Bible,
repeating the ones they like best.
Children will never forget these
stories as they build up their own
store of God stories!
My favourite Bible story book is
The Lion Storyteller Bible.

Listening, Caring and Helping
School Pastors, an exciting
new initiative, is about
to land at Meadowhead
School. But “what or who
are School Pastors?”, I
hear you ask.
Imagine just for a second being
a teenager in our modern world.
Besides the normal emotional
struggles of growing up, there are
the questions of what to wear,
what music to listen to, and what
are you aiming for in life.
You are also bombarded with
a whole host of more ‘modern’
issues: ‘my family is messy’, ‘I
have to worry about my online
presence and can’t escape from
it’, ‘how can I keep up with
the latest mime or viral
trend?’, ‘I’m under so
much pressure to
‘succeed’.’
Despite all this,
being a teenager
can be still be loads
of fun, but we must
accept that there seems
to be an increasing amount
pressure on young people,
which appears to be affecting their
mental wellbeing.
A study published in January,
found that over the last two
years the number of under 18s in
England accessing the services
of CAMHS (child and adolescent
mental health services) has more
than doubled.
How do we respond to this
information and who is going to
help?
The school environment is often
one of the most pressured, yet
schools have taken the lead on
tackling this issue, with a huge
growth in specialist services and
pastoral support that would never
have been on the radar of an
educational establishment even
15 years ago. I suspect many
headteachers feel they are doing
an excellent job with those young
people they’ve identified as in need
of additional pastoral support. I
also suspect many would have
concerns that more young people
exist who could benefit but remain
hidden or beyond the reach of their
resources.
This is where the School Pastors
are hoping to help. School Pastors
is a group of local Christian
volunteers from different local
churches who have a passion
for helping and supporting young
people. The initiative has grown
out of the Ascension Trust,
most famous for starting
Street Pastors, and has
the same core values:
Listening, Caring,
Helping.
School Pastors
will be going into
Meadowhead School
with the aim of getting
alongside young people
and simply providing a listening
ear. We will not necessarily have
‘the answers’ and are certainly
not there to promote any religious
activity, but simply to support the
school and its students and help
by allowing them to offload some
of their struggles to someone who
genuinely cares and wants to
help. This is only a small action,
but I’m confident it will make a big
difference in the lives of those we
meet.
Our pastors are presently
undergoing intensive training but
will be ready for our official launch
in September. Watch this space…

The Happiest Days of My Life
A
long time ago in the reign
of Queen Victoria, the rich
and the poor were sharply
divided.
One of the verses now
removed from the children’s hymn
All Things Bright and Beautiful read
‘The rich man in his castle, The
poor man at his gate, God made
them high or lowly and ordered
their estate’. Generations of
school children sang it at morning
assembly without ever questioning
the words. It was just the way the
world was.
Poor children did not have
an education until the mid-19th
century. From the age of around
five they formed part of the
workforce on farms or in factories
or mills. Several Acts of Parliament
were passed in order to stop this
practice and gradually all children
had, by law, to be educated and
schools as we know them began to
evolve. It was however still tough.
Many country children had to walk
several miles to school, either alone
or with siblings from a very young
age. In those days parents did not
accompany their children to school,
let alone drive them in a pony and
trap!
During the day they would learn
the three ‘R’s, history, geography
and scripture. Teachers were strict
and applied cane and ruler regularly
to keep discipline. Children who did
not keep up were made to stand in
a corner wearing a Dunce’s cap.
My own early education in the
1940s and 50s was not radically
different from this but with
composition (creative writing),
handwork (art and craft) and
singing added to the curriculum.
And, as my formative years were
spent on the Arbourthorne estate, I
can add ‘survival’. However, having
failed the 11-plus exam (I was
more often off sick then at school),
instead of going to a secondary
modern school I was transferred to
an open-air school when life was
radically different.
The school had less than 100
pupils aged five to 16 divided into
four classes plus what was then
known as a remedial class. Many of
the children had complex medical
conditions but others simply did not
get enough to eat – many foods will
still rationed until the late 1950s.
Although we learned little about the
three ‘R’s, we learned a lot about
life. Most of our time was spent
out of doors or in classrooms open
to all weathers except snow and
pouring rain. We had three meals
a day: breakfast of porridge and
treacle on arrival; dinner and tea
of hot milk and bread and jam or
cocoa and fruit cake on Fridays
before leaving.
Although we were given plenty of
TLC from the teachers and full-time
school nurse, discipline was still
strict. The remedial class teacher
named Mrs Boreham (known as
Fanny Bore ’em) still had a cane
(Mr Wood) hanging from her desk
and made regular use of the ruler.
The teacher of the top class (known
as Pop) often used the slipper on
naughty boys. Bullying however
was unknown and we children
learned to take care of each other,
the school cat Candy and all other
creatures great and small. We had
a whole hour singing lesson on
Thursdays and we certainly sang
the all the verses of All Things
Bright and Beautiful including the
last verse which reads: ‘He gave his
eyes to see them and lips that we
might tell how great is God Almighty
who has made all things well’.
I look back on my school days as
truly the happiest days of my life

Big Little Lines
by Liane Moriarty
This is the ideal book
to take on holiday, I
guarantee readers will
not want to put it down!
Playground
gossip with mums,
alleged bullying
by fi ve-year-olds
and accusations
directed to one little
boy who protests
his innocence.
The book unfolds
with stories of the
lives of the mums,
their marriages;
some good and
very complicated,
some seemingly
happy and
fulfi lled. The
quiz night is
approaching with
Elvis Presley as
the suggested fancy
dress act.
A couple fall in love over coffee
and muffins which seem to be
consumed at regular intervals.
There is a brutal assault which
happened a few years ago but
it soon rears its ugly head in the
most unusual circumstances.
Domestic violence and bullying
will reduce you to tears, as a
young girl wants to auction off
something of herself on the
internet without considering
the consequences, to bring
awareness of girls being married
off too young
and helping to
raise money for
charity.
The end
chapter has
twists and turns
and leaves you
with very mixed
emotions.
This book has
been adapted for
television and I
understand there
is a sequel being
made for the big
screen starring
Nicole Kidman.
I hope readers
will enjoy this book
as much as all of
the book group have. I had not
come across this author before
but will defi nitely be looking out
for future titles.
