After initially training as a nurse Anne Beech stopped work to raise her two children. She returned to work but this time in an inner city primary school. Anne really enjoyed working with the children. Reading is a vital skill and she loved helping the children to achieve their full potential. This also inspired her to write her own book based on the daily routine in a school that the children could easily relate to.
Have you ever taken a good look at your teacher? Do they sometimes act strangely or do weird things? Where have them come from and where do they go after school? Have the lights ever flickered or the computers buzzed as they walk past?
Take a closer look at your teacher as they might – they just might – be an Alien!
There is also an easy to complete checklist to find out for yourself if your teacher could be from outer space.
Peter and Tom were best friends. Their favourite things at school were football and science. They were so excited to learn that the headteacher wanted to start a school football team. The chances of the team being successful were greatly increased when a new pupil joined who had amazing skills. Alex could do more keepie uppies than anyone else in the school.
The science room, the Brain Box, was a wonderful inspiring place full of amazing displays and scientific equipment. All the children loved their teacher, Mr B.
Imagine the boys upset and disappointment, when they learned that the football pitch and the Brain Box were to be demolished to make way for a new housing estate.
What could the children do to stop it happening? Would they ever get to play in a football team and how could they help to keep their beloved science room safe?
Peter had a happy, settled life at home with his mum, and at school with his best friend, Tom. They had known each other a long time and were inseparable. This, however, was about to change when he, by accident, spotted his mum and headteacher together, holding hands! Although he wanted his mum to be happy, Peter couldn’t accept this. He and Tom decided that they should do something to return life to how it was before. Nobody would want their headteacher as their new dad even if he was a good headteacher and had improved the school’s exam results. But what could they do? They try various things with no luck apart from getting themselves in trouble. Then one day the boys see one of the school’s supply teachers acting suspiciously. She suddenly takes an interest in them, especially Peter. What was she up to? Could she help them? Should they trust her?
