Good afternoon everybody and welcome to another week at the School of Daddy. We though we'd kick off the old Monday blues with a spot of good old story telling. In fact we are, I believe, inventing a new genre of literature! I give you the Pre-Apocalyptic or perhaps even the Apo-Apocalyptic, if you prefer the ancient Greek prefix apo, meaning off or away from - Away from the Apocalypse 😁 The children have been allowed to write the most banal, pleasant and (that most damning of all faint praises) "nice" stories they can come up with - exactly the sort of thing that would have elicited both boredom and ire in equal measures in the poor teachers when faced with a pile of this tripe to mark and assess back in 2019, but now represents a nostalgic retreat in to halcyon days free of pestilence, looting, war and everything else 2020 has to offer.
