Lesley's Loot

Some children find it hard to get to grips with their new school uniform. Here’s an example: After a summer of easy slip on clothing the tie can be a difficult one to master. But what’s the problem these days kids? You lot have it easy with the clip on tie; it not one of those wrap around affaires that can be annoying when you’re in a hurry. Meanwhile looking online you’ll find it’s actually a safety feature as it acts as a potential weapon that can be used by the school bully who can easily strangle their enemies. This feature is also present in order to avoid those kipper style knots therefore keeping within the perimeters of the school uniform style.

This is an extraordinary school find; even the infants are working according to this, what you would call a school worksheet. It reveals the first stages of the world at work. Play is after all work as its doing stuff you may or may not want to do. Like cleaning the house. The kid might not like playing with Play-dough or going outside in the garden but it’s in the curriculum so you have to do it. At work you may not like having to attend those meetings but you have to do it to improve productivity etc. Learning to use the toilet is all too important when it comes to employment; there mustn’t be any soiling or wetting otherwise you’ll get the sack. So here is the place to learn all that – school. What would we do without school? Leaving it up to the parents is not always the greatest solution if you tune into today’s media. However not all children fair well at school either. The main culprit though is social media.   

This tiny limpet once belonged to a beach. It’s now in the middle of a busy street far away from it’s usual surrounding's of sea, sand and rock but now leaves, litter and tarmac.

Look who’s been to Australia for their summer holidays. This kid, who proudly presents this in the form of a cute little clip on koala bear souvenir. Alternatively they may well have given this to a friend and on a more cynical note may well put their friendship in jeopardy. This maybe because their friend hasn’t been able to arrange a holiday as extravagant as going abroad, either resorting to a cheap camp site somewhere in the UK or has spent their entire holidays at home or worse still at summer school as their parents/guardians go out to work and so never venturing further than the school playground. So just imagine for a minute some scenario around this one. I have to bitch at this point as girls are notorious for this sort of thing... Oh god is that’ s all you did all summer – Amelia you’re so dull. Oh S u zie, (another girl here who’s been on holiday like her) did you, OMG that’s just so ooo cool. Look at my pics – yea that’s me on the roller-coaster a t Disneyland P...
