Learning Potion-Making at Elderglade School
~ Moonroot & Mirth

In Moonshade Hall where shadows play
The fairies mix their brews all day.
With bubbling flasks and crystal bowls
They follow recipes on ancient scrolls.

Miss Nettlebright, in cloak of green
Glides in with herbs both fresh and keen.
She taps her wand on bark and stone
To wake the spells in moss and bone.

They grind moon-root and stir in dew
Add beetle shells and thistle glue.
A twinkle here, a shimmer there
The air is thick with scented flair.

They test their brews then make a note
On petal pads with velvet coats.
Sometimes they giggle or maybe sneeze
Sending their magic on forest breeze.

Each fairy chants a rhyming spell
To make their potions fizz and swell
Some brew for flight, some brew for cheer -
One brews to help the mushrooms hear!

When all is done, they cork each flask
And tie it with a leaf and clasp.
For every fairy learns to brew
A drop of joy in every hue.

International Dot Day is a celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration. It began in September 2009 after a teacher introduced his class to 'The Dot', a book by Peter H. Reynolds.

The Dot tells the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to 'make her mark'. What began with a small dot on a piece of paper became a breakthrough in confidence and courage and ignited a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults.

Hello hoomans

It’s me, National Quiet Day. Today I’m inviting you to take a deep breath, step back from the noise and notice the calm that’s been waiting for you all along. No horns, no notifications, no ticking clocks, just space to pause, breathe and simply be.

In the quiet, your mind can slow, your heart can rest and your body can remember what it feels like to truly relax. Whether you find me in a cosy corner at home, a quiet walk outside, or a few minutes of meditation, I’m here to remind you that stillness is a gift.

So shhh … listen closely. That gentle hush? That’s me, saying: “Enjoy the pause. You deserve it.”

Today’s the day for books and tales
Of giant peaches, crodsquinkled whales
And witches hiding in disguise
Read by children with whooshing eyes.

We’ll dodge the tricks of sneaky Twits
And cheer Matilda for her whiffling wit.
We’ll munch on snozzcumber then agree
To learn the language of the BFG.

We’ll tiptoe past Miss Trunchbull’s wrath
And whizzpop down a Wonka path.
We’ll read, we’ll dream, we’ll laugh, we’ll play -
It’s gloriumptious Roald Dahl Book Day!

It’s Kids Take Over! (aka Hide the Whisk!)

Today’s the day we rule the stove
No grown-ups here – we’re in control!
We’ve got the spoons, the pots, the pans
And wildly questionable cooking plans.

We’re making toast with jellybeans
And pasta topped with tangerines
We’ve baked a cake (it’s mostly glue)
And stirred a soup that’s turning blue.

We’ve spilled the flour, cracked the eggs
There’s ketchup dripping down our legs.
The dog’s now wearing pancake hats
And someone fed the goldfish snacks.

But don’t you fret, we’re almost done
We call this chaos ‘wholesome fun.’
What you call work is what we call play
It’s Kids Take Over The Kitchen Day!

Learning to Cook at Elderglade School
~ Sugar-spun Spells

In Honeydrop Hall where ovens glow
The fairies line up row by row.
They tie their aprons, snug and neat
And dream of things both warm and sweet.

Miss Bakeberry claps her hands
Then scatters flour in swirling strands.
She shows them how to stir with care
And fold in joy with woodland flair.

They whip soft fluff from toasted mallow
And drizzle dew in shells so shallow
With petal pies and candied thorns
They bake until the dusk is born.

They shape small rolls with hazel dough
And twirl in sprigs of mistletoe.
A crumble crust, a berry gleam
Each bite a spell, each bite a dream.

Each fairy pipes a sugared swirl
On cakes that make the mushrooms twirl.
They hum a tune as ovens sing
Then dust their treats with blossom wing.

When all is done, they share their tray
On mossy mats in sweet display.
For every fairy learns to make
A little love in every cake.
