I will try and share thoughts, ideas, comments on life - and great work by children on my blog.

One of the many joys of being a primary school teacher is that you have to be able to turn your hand to anything.
Like teaching art.
Our current topic is "Space... and beyond!" and I happened upon some work by the talented Peter Thorpe.
He is definitely work a look.
He creates an abstract background and then a stunning rocket in the foreground.
Oh, the delight on the faces of my reluctant artists at being outside, hurling paint at their blank pages to create a "starscape" inspired back drop.
Rockets to be added next time (when the paint has dried and I've stopped shaking!).
Oh, the looks on the faces of the parents whose children had once again forgotten their art aprons.
Oops.
Today's question: when were you last inspired by an artist you'd never seen before?
Father. Teacher. Camel rider. Wave surfer. Scuba diver. Marathon finisher. Fixer. Acting Deputy Head... and very tired bloke!
