Wonderwall

No Mr EB, I have not given up blogging for lent!! It's just that when you work two and a half hours a day, like me, you have to fill the rest of your time counting down the days till your next holiday, and seeing as there are so many of them that doesn't leave me with much time!
Anyway, I thought that I'd tell you about the wonderwall in my class. The idea is that the children can post any question at all that they have and we try to answer them.

Questions on the wonderwall at the moment include:

- Do scientists know when the world is going to end and how?

- Who was the first to explore:
1. Drake?
2. Christopher Columbus
3. God

- When was gravity made and will it ever run out or stop?

- Why do we have nails?

- Does God exist (well the actual spelling was 'egsist'!)

- Who is the goodest person in your class?

- Why do the French have so many glass buildings?


So, any good answers form you? Particularly the nail one!! Why do we have nails?!!!!
Or what question would you post on the wonderwall?!!

What ya giving up?!!!!

So then, lent is almost upon us!

Just wondered if any of you are planning to give anything up?

My original plan was to challenge you to give up all your addictions - like curry, dms, marmite, etc, but then realised that this would involve me giving up haribo and sweets and I don't think that I have the willpower to see this through!!!

So I just wondered if any of you were feeling any more disciplined than me at this time or are you with me and taking the easier option?!

(Have just had a thought....maybe I could give up curry, champ, marmite AND drinking tea!!!!!!)

(PS - Getting up early again is NOT fun...)

....and to the ends of the earth!

Indeed, this is officially where I am, at the end of the earth!!!! (Well not really, it just feels like it!!) I am in Cornwall for a few days, visiting my family! Cornwall is a very strange place, in the summer, it is truly beautiful, the beaches here are gorgeous and there is no place that I'd rather be (although, I admit that that nice beach we went to in Brazil - would also do just as well!!) However, today it is very bleak here!! The rain is pouring down, I nearly got blew off the cliff whilst walking by the beach and the seas are huge!!

Anyway, thank you all my dear fellow bloggers for your prayers last week, I really appreciated all you messages and support. As the week panned out I kinda felt that things in my life should stay was they are for the moment at least. I did really feel a sense of God's help and presence through the week, which was quite long as against all the odds (i.e. snow!!) we did have school every day and even went ahead with parents evenings!! Thank you all for your prayers.

So back to the original point here I am in wet, cold, dull Cornwall - any suggestions of interesting activities that could be done in this place at this time?!!! (My thoughts thus far consist of shopping and eating haribo!!!)

Lots of love PJ!!! (as in pixie Ju - not ...'and duncan'!!!) xxx

The week ahead....

Well I am sitting here on a Sunday afternoon feeling a little bit daunted by the week ahead. Firstly, I have the usual end of half term parents evenings, which, unsurprisingly I never look forward to! There is also a lot of paper work at school which needs to be done! But also I have just discovered that I am going to have to make some quite important decisions over this next week which I have kind of known about for while but I just didn't realise that I was going to have to make the final decsions so soon. So just wanted to say that if any of you were able to just pray for me that God would give me wisdom and peace, I'd really really appreciate it!

Hope that you're all having a good weekend!

Lots of love xx
