He's been on the phone to Carla Brunei (any excuse lol:).
Asked her to accompany his son to school for the day, as his very own Bond Girl
Then also decided that he may have to be a more proactive parent and help out a bit - just for the day like razz:
He will bring cake lol:

Ah a case of 'let them eat cake'.... Heads will roll, mark my words. noooo:

Black school trousers, white shirt, black bow tie, black jacket. Cut out gun shaped piece of black cardboard ::)

whistle: Ain't home education a wonderful thing?
We have spent the morning learning how to navigate round the world. This is by way of an intro to the clock making project ~ somehow we ended up making Chapatis but we have covered Mercator and his map, the introduction of money into trade, the clipping of coins and how Newton invented the milled edge to prevent people doing this, looked at "the promise" on paper money and discussed how the Bank of England would keep that promise, why ships measure their speed in Knots, early clocks ~ Marked candles, water clocks and sundials (include in that a quick reminder of last year's visit to Stone Henge) etc.
A busy and productive morning I feel ~ they are eating their "we made these" chapatis for their lunch.
And nobody had to get dressed up or even buy an unwanted and overpriced book to use up the £1 book token they get for appearing at school dressed as a fictional character.

Can't have it during the Easter Holidays ~ schools wouldn't get the rake off commission on the sales would they?
As for the blurb that Nick has found ~ sums it up nicely ~ the whole thing is a con to get the kids to pester their parents into buying books at twice or three time the price you would pay on Amazon for the same book and the schools get a kick back. Every school taking part in this will have someone there selling books and the £1 voucher will not buy anything. I have never seen a book for less than £5.99 at one of these events.
