  • How many languages Mrs Greaves speak? No-one knows, however she taught Latin and French.
  • Apparently she once fell through a chair (a nugget of info passed onto me by a parent during an open day), that must have been fun to watch.
  • One of her teaching methods for french is to make the class sing the verb. This, suprisingly, works for one verb in particular.

Quotes

  • During a lunch time leaving party for pupil in her year 9 form (whilst changing music cassettes) "Look at me, I'm Fat Boy Slim"
  • Trying to explain to a student the meaning of the Latin word 'lascivis': "You know, wanton, lascivious," (blank look from student) "erm, you know [vague hand gesture]...nookie, (blank look again) Nookie Nookie".
  • To a Y9 student before a French Exam:

"Can you actually say the numbers one - ten.... please?"

Student: "Erm........ sorry."

Habits

  • Referring to Classical poets, especially Catullus, as if they were still alive and turning up at dinner parties.
  • Attempting to locate the Spring of Bandusia.
