One of my pupils left my lesson this week with the news his next lesson was
"graduated running".

(Cross country running to the oldies amongst us)

I got talking to some primary SENCOs the other day. I was reminiscing about
the time my boy was sent to the naughty corner in nursery with another boy
for giggling and keeping everyonr awake at afternoon nap time. Naughty
corner? Apparently I mean thinking chair.

Fantastic
