Mrs Waddell

Mrs. Waddell taught science at B.R.G.S. for the year 2004 - 2005, after which she magically disappeared for a year, only to re-appear for the year 2006 - 2007 before leaving in 2010. It is believed that she spent her time away from BRGS as a collection of protons, neutrons and electrons. She spended some A-Level physics lessons teaching that there is in theory more to matter (and therefore "life outside the classroom") than just protons, neutrons and electrons, but as far as everyone in lower school at least is concerned, this is a downright lie. She also tended to smile an awful lot, even when giving out punishments. Amazing teacher!! Some think that she had some resemblence to Nanny Mcphee.

Examples of Mischievous Behaviours

During Mrs. Waddells 2004 - 2005 teaching period, a few prime examples of mischeivous behaviour will always be remembered:

• The 'lets see how many times we can walk around the classroom without her noticing' game. A grand total of 78 times was totalled by Emma Finnerty 9R.
• Students eating their lunch at the back of room 7, while Mrs. Waddell, blissfully unaware, continues to know almost nothing about the class.
• In Year 9, during her lesson, a handful of students decided to make as many paper areoplanes as possible. The objective was soon discovered that each student had to throw their plane as close to her as possible. A total of 15 planes were thrown with 2 direct hits. SHE NOTICED NOTHING.
• She notices but simple chooses not to rise to such behaviour instead focusing on the main aims of the lesson - to teach physics. She is an excellent teacher.

Experimentation

Mrs Waddell has an unusual fondness for doing many, many experiments, a quality not unappreciated by her Sixth Form students.

Quotes

• "Stop and listen!"
• "Right class, we're going to do an experiment!"
• "Yes!" [accompanied by a big and thoroughly controlled smile]'
• "Ticker Tape Timer"
• "I'll be back in a moment" mumbles...then stands there'
