Jan is also keeping busy. Alongside her French classes, her Saturday evening ‘variety nights’ attract a loyal following of students keen to try their hand at crafts such as glass painting, etching and making mobile phone cases out of felt. Jan also ministered to students through her recent assembly on the challenges of being an introvert at a boarding school like RVA where free time and personal space are at a premium. The assembly had the whole school talking – introverts and extroverts alike! This short talk by Susan Cain – author of the bestselling ‘Quiet’ – will give you a taste of what Jan said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0KYU2j0TM4
After the excitement of topping the Amazon charts with ‘My Big Fat Greek Myth Book’ (thanks to all of you who bought it!), Martha has had to content herself with more mundane activities such as Conceptual Physics, Spanish verbs and a brief turn in goal for the U15 football team (two ‘clean sheets’ in four games, which is more than Petr Cech has managed recently). Speaking of football, Joe is generally to be found wearing his ‘Messi’ Barcelona shirt, whilst showing polite interest in Arsenal’s more modest achievements.
With love from us all,
Bruce, Jan, Zoe, Martha and Joe x
