The haslingden Library experience

• It was near the end of year 8 when Mrs Fowler Gibbs told 8S that they were going to visit haslingden library and see author Meg Rosoff and told them repeatedly how lucky they were to be taken to Haslingden library. On the day some pupils were SO excited they didn't want to go. he 8S girls walked and got the bus to Haslingden which Mrs. Folwer Gibbs described as an ideal form of transport, so we would feel better about the smelly old bus and the irritated passengers and the bus driver who looked like he was goin to kick us off any second. When we reached Haslingden we all got off the bus and Mrs. Folwer Gibbs gave us a 30 minute lecture of pavement safety and representing the school. Mrs. Fowler Gibbs did a memorable job of representing the school when she walked out into the middle of a small road and nearly got flatened by a car. Then she gave us another lecture on how she was paying attention but illustrating to us what could happen if we weren't being safe. After another lecture outside the library we went in and got beaten up by some chavvy school. Mrs. Fowler Gibbs continued to inform us on representing the school.

After the talk there were FREE DRINKS AND HOBNOBS!!!!!!!! It was the highlight of Miss Stricklands day. She went and ate half a packet and then continued to lecture to the attendant how 'delicous and really nice the hobnobs were' Mrs. Fowler Gibbs did not seem impressed while mrs. Strickland continued to blabber on happily about biscuits. On the wayhome Mrs. Fowler Gibbs walked into the middle of the main road in order to get the cars to stop which had no sucess, nearly resulting in the loss of valuable limbs. Miss Strickland, who seemed very amused by the whole thing walked into the middle of the road, spread her arms out and put on her I-will-eat-you-if-you-dont-stop-now face. It worked. If miss Strickland hadn't saved the day we would have probably been all squashed in the middle of Haslingden Main Road.... but we still want to thank Mrs FG for all the great memories we have had!!! The Python Story

• There once was an old couple who were lonely, so they decided to buy a pet. Most people would've bought a cat or a dog or something like that, but they decided to buy a python. The couple fed it live mice and let it sleep on a blanket on the end of their bed. After they'd had it for a couple of weeks, it started not eating and stretching itself out and stiffening itself up on the bed *Class Laughs For A While*. The couple ring up the vet and ask what's rong with their python. The vet says "I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid we're going to have to put your python to sleep immediately. He's preparing to eat one of you!" According to Mrs F-G, this is a true story. Be warned - never buy a python for a pet. (We're not quite sure what this had to do with the english lesson, but it was a 'funny' story)
