I spotted this bracket fungus growing in the hedge when I stopped to pick up the recycling box. I knew we were into autumn.It was quite a fun day in school as today we took our Year 2s to the local bowling alley for their end of year treat. We are lucky in that we can walk there along a pleasant foot/cycle path that runs behind the secondary school playing fields. There were a couple of groups of youngsters down at the furthest ends who were having a quick cigarette (stupid kids), but they had the decency to hide them from our children. The children had a great time bowling apart from 1 boy who became quite ill with a headache and a temperature. He hadn't been well at the start of the day but was so keen to get to school his mum had given him some medication which of course wore off by the afternoon. Another of my class didn't even make it to lunchtime, he had come into school not feeling well and by playtime had thrown up and had to be sent home, poor thing.
