Please Sir

This made me smile. The school newsletter has just come out. It gives us information about the school, what the pupils have been up to etc. One section starts off by telling us that the school fish tank is getting rather aged. O-Oh the hardened parent thinks. This sounds like a plea for money. But no, read further. Because the curriculum has come to rescue us. As part of their litercy work year 6 have all (yes all) written letters to a local aquatic store to tell them of the schools plight. And, this is the great bit, they were successful and have been given a very nice, very large, and very expensive, fish tank. So now, on school time, our children are being taught how to beg, just right to prepare them for a life on the streets!
