Tuesday 3rd September 2024. 

Good afternoon everybody.

I am sat in this empty classroom like a lost umbrella left at a bus stop on the Outer Hebrides. 

"That's not right," my lonesome brain mutters. "See, you're even talking to yourself, which is not a good sign," my meddlesome mind continues. 

"I know, I know," I say out loud to the walls and chairs. They don't reply. Nor do the pencils and pens from the pots on the tables. It's pretty quiet in here and I'm not sure I like it. 

You know what to do people. Bring yourselves in here tomorrow for some learning, realise it's actually quite brilliant, come every day and stop me from having to read the most incredible books to myself. 

We will be finding out about the Ancient Greeks, looking closely at how your heart works, discovering why flowers are important to  artists, creating pop-up books, finally making sure that we punctuate all our sentences properly, there will be calculating, estimating, ruminating and participating. There'll be PE at some point which will mainly involve watching ancient videos of York City from when I was a lad and some an overuse of tired cliches. It will be fabulous and fun but only with you here. 

I'm waiting and the clock is ticking...
