Mrs Greaves

• 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.

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".

• To a Y9 student before a French Exam:

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

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