| In one of her books, Rita F.
Snowden tells of a visit she paid to a tiny village
school in the Yorkshire Dales where she was able to
examine the school's log book going back for nearly one
hundred years. Fascinated, she turned over the pages, reading about the children, their activities, the books they read and the poems they learned, the weather, visits into the surrounding countryside, and much else besides. Then came a change in teacher, and over and over again the pages simply bore the words "Nothing worthy of notice this week." But of course it couldn't be true. It wasn't that nothing happened. It was that the teacher didn't notice it! If ever we feel bored we would do well to remember that little story. If eyes and ears and hearts and imaginations are alert, there is always something to notice and to bring interest and colour to life. From: The Friendship Book 1986 By: Francis Gay |
