I had thought I would do something on April Fool yesterday but I forgot! I always enjoyed April Fool at work and as a young teacher (it was a long time ago) I would often arrange something for my class. As a Head I would often think of something on my way to school and caught my colleagues out on many occasions (I may share one or two over the next few blogs). In my last year in school staff were determined to get me back! I arrived at school at my usual crack of dawn time to find a lovely typed letter on distinctive and branded paper. The heading was Dorset Ornithological Society…… the letter went along the lines that a Penduline Tit had taken up residence in the school wildlife area and recommended that I shut the school immediately. I smiled as I read it because somebody had done their homework because Penduline Tits are rare visitors to Britain especially in the West! To play the part I visibly picked up a pair of binoculars (Always had a pair handy at work) and marched outside. Ironically about three years ago I saw a pair of Penduline Tits in Gloucester. I remember smiling as I watched them!

Not mentioning sport today as my team lost to a struggling team!
