Good morning, cough cough. My Cousin helpfully told me this week that in the UK the current cold/flu is being called "The 100 day cold"! Way to go, Cousin Janice!

Last week some of had fun introducing our favourite books, and what a varied lot they were.
This next week I will be bringing some extracts with me for the VHS Groups.

I think all of you will enjoy Benjamin Zephaniah. He's a Poet, Performer, author and "Troublemaker" and I think to get the full effect you have to watch him perform his Poems:

I love what he does with the English language and so do many others: in a BBC poll of the nation's favourite poets, he came 3rd after TS Eliot & John Donne!

Other students are going to be grappling with prepositions next week, here's some online practice:

And this is a fun roulette-type game:

Now we all should go outside and get some sunshine!
