You too can join a club like this one (well your child can) (if they attend our school) every other Monday after school (not today) and there are always (usually) biscuits 😊

My daughter asked me if she could go to Reading Club after school.
I asked her what it was, assuming it was help for those who need reading support.
"No Mummy," she replied. "We just read books and eat snacks."
What a perfect school club!

Dad fetched the big box of decorations from the attic. They spent a lot of time arranging them on the tree. When they had finished, they switched on the fairy lights and left the curtains open so that all the people passing by could see it.

The Box of Delights, you say? Starting on BBC4 at 7pm on the 7th December preceded by a new introduction by director Renny Rye? I have a BoD prints in various sizes (and cards too) in my shop for some if not all of your Boxy printy needs. I thank you. sarahcoomershop.etsy.com
ALT A black and white illustration of John Masefield's Box of Delights. An elderly bearded man trudges through snow pursued by wolves. Trees flank the scene, which appears to emerge from a box and a ghostly face gazes at it in the background. There is a white house on a hill and a aeroplane in the sky.

What's that you say?
I could have shelved them all in the same time it took me to arrange them nicely on the trolley, photograph them and posted on Twitter?
But then you wouldn't have seen our KS3's fabulous choice of half term holiday reading material would you?

Drawing your own comics can be such a mood boost. These are fantastic 👏

My teenager is having a hard time at school but she’s creating mini comics about a wee ghost to cheer herself up. She doesn’t know it yet but she’s gonna be so spectacular when she’s through this painful age 💪
