3rd Year Source Specs
Over the Autumn Half Term, Mr. Falshaw, Head of the History department, set his 3rd year class a rather eccentric homework. They were soon busy cutting and sticking paper, card and discarded dog biscuit boxes. By the next lesson he entered the room to see his class grinning madly back from behind some quite odd-looking `masterpieces`. These were in fact the `Source Specs` created annually for Mr. Falshaw’s delight and to help his class get to grips with that all important source work.
There were simple reading glasses, extravagant party specs; there were miniscule monocles and magnificently massive spectacles. Vision wasn’t an issue as most of them were busy dodging their fellow student’s pipe cleaners, corks and feathers alike. One boy had the entire class reaching for their hard hats to avoid any grievous bodily harm from the colossal cardboard creation, stretching about a metre out from either side of his beaming little face. Another young girl entertained the entire school by jumping out of her car sporting a strange breed of longhaired dog, otherwise known (to her more understanding classmates) as a milkmaid’s hat and golden mop, sending the participants into the school’s history books.
