A suggestion / an inspiration for our students…

CHILDREN’S PRAYER Let the teachers of our class Set us tests that we all pass.

Let them never ever care About what uniform we wear.

Let them always clearly state It’s OK if your homework’s late.

Let them say it doesn’t matter When we want to talk and chatter.

Let our teachers shrug and grin

When we make an awful din.

Let them tell us every day There are no lessons. Go and play.

Let them tell your mum and dad We’re always good and never bad.

Let them write in their report We are the best class they have ever taught!

JOHN FOSTER
