The poem reads:
What is a Teacher?
A walker, a talker, a corridor stalker
A leader, director & tactful corrector
A role-model, tutor, a whiz with computer
A natural persuader, a daily first-aider
A reader, a writer, reports all-nighter
A printer, protector, a problem deflector
A marker, a setter, a sender of letter
A natural orator, a known confiscator
A divider, decider, a spare pen provider
A cutter, a sticker, a fair-minded picker
A debater, relater & smile reinstater
A pairer, a carer, a lesson preparer
A defender, a lender, a broker & mender
A creator, inventor, inspiring mentor
A smiler, a filer, a stay back a while
A parent reminder, lost property finder
A keen finder-outer, & sometimes a shouter
A describer, reviser, a trip organiser
A thinker, a winker, a covered in inker
An on your sider & staff-room resider
That’s what makes a Teacher!

The Book Lover’s Week
On Mondays I am lost for ages

At my lively book group meeting
Wednesday, there may be some friction
Unless I read some Science Fiction
Thursdays, it just has to be
Short stories or biography
On Friday over lunch and dinner
I’m buried in a Booker winner
Saturdays are perfect days
For reading poetry and plays
And Sundays, how the hours dwindle
When I’m busy on my Kindle!

On Thursdays if I start to fizzle
I perk up with some Lemon Drizzle
Fridays, I insist I’m fed
On Fruitcake or Banana Bread
Saturdays, I often languish
For a nice Victoria Sandwich
And Sundays? Well it has to be
Homemade scones for afternoon tea!

On Thursdays it is just no use
I have to dine on chocolate mousse

Unless I’ve had a chocolate muffin

With a milky bar of Swiss
And Sundays I relax in bed
With paper, toast and chocolate spread!

It has to be decaffeinated,
Thursday when I’m back on track
I’ll have a trusty filter (black),
On Fridays just before a party
I’ll grab a fortifying Latte,
Saturdays just don’t feel right
Without a paper and Flat White,
And Sundays end with Frappuccino
Or a bedtime Cappuccino!

Pruning, and a bit of chopping
Thursdays means a day of mowing
Plus an afternoon of hoeing
On Friday it is time for weeding
And the watering and feeding
Saturdays, day of adventure:
A trip to tip or garden centre
And Sundays (if the back’s not aching)
It’s getting rid of slugs and staking!

A hankering for ice cold Cava
And suddenly the week has gone...
It's Sunday night and Sauvignon!

This is a relatively simple board game which relies on a little bit of logic and a lucky roll of the dice to win. It's a great game to play and is educational for younger players as it will increase their knowledge of the geography (major towns and cities) of England and Wales.
For 2-4 players, each player is given a set of cards with the names of cities on them. Players then have to roll the dice and move a counter around the board in order to visit each of the cities listed on the cards that they have been given in whichever order they choose and successfully return to their starting point to win. There are various obstacles around the board to make things more interesting.
