Got the turntable working! Today's study music - Bach's "Musikalische opfer", the collection that inspired Hofstadter's Tangled Hierarchy theory of consciousness. You can't get more studious than this! 💃

A well-spent morning distributing certificates to our latest literacy graduates, along with the week's quiz prize - the coveted two-dimensional strawberry. Next week's prize is this three-dimensional person (with baguettes). Expect strong competition at this week's Impossible Ungoogable Quiz!

Looking forward to another book club meet this afternoon to close down the week and another half term. Benny the Bean is also excited.

Did somebody say "podcast"!? Today we'll be testing the viability of a new format for the pupil journalism programme. I expect this one will be oversubscribed 💃

Nurture in the LRC this morning, courtesy of the ever wonderful Derbyshire County Council. Taking care of our emotional wellbeing is purposeful work and has a rightful place in our wider curriculum. Great work everyone! 💃
