Hampstead school visit
01 March 2013 12:00AM
This is just a quick note to say thanks to year 6 kids at Hampstead Parochial C E School. It was a privilege to meet you all and if I have the opportunity I would certainly love to visit the school again. I don’t say that about every school, in fact I intend to do a blog at the end of this current school tour and I know it will be controversial. Over the past few years I have visited more than 200 schools and some teachers don’t seem to grasp that I give up my time freely, and in most cases the school visits leave me financially and considerably out of pocket. Am I crazy or what? No, just doing what I believe in and with any profits from book sales going to the charitable work that I have established, and the awareness of the ‘street kid phenomenon’ growing, I will carry on for a little while longer at least.
Your teacher was fab and has well developed the project, ‘Once Upon A Time in Mexico.’ It is evident that you have all learnt lots, whilst having fun. Just how education should be!
Of course I want to say a huge thank you that you have decided to continue Chavosing and do some fund raising for our charity. I look forward to having more information about that, as you further your plans.
Meanwhile, I can’t wait to see some of the photos taken both at Lupita East and in the classroom and, waiting with baited breath for your feedback when you have read Chavos.
Don’t forget to send me the work you did on characters in your creative writing session and, to the 11 year old who I will not name in my blog but, you know who you are, I sure like your ideas. I think we should develop them for a character in one of the forthcoming Chavos books. Whoop! Whoop!
So well done to you all and enjoy the rest of your Mexican project. Perhaps next time you are going to eat out with family or friends try some more tacos, but always eat at a reputable restaurant.
LupitaUK for me!
Back to Yorkshire now, and hopefully some Yorkshire puds this weekend.
Chat soon.
Anna.
