A narrative poem following the nasty Dr Glum as he uses his magical drum to make others unhappy - but will he learn his lesson?
This is the story of old Doctor Glum
And the magical instrument he taps with his thumb.
He’s fat and old with a temper that’s bad,
And wears a red army tunic that belonged to his dad.
On his head is the hat from an old marching band,
Which is covered in dirt and was bought second hand.
Bits of spaghetti and old food dangled -
From his white beard that was scruffy and tangled.
Strapped around his neck (which is as fat as a plum),
Is a big red and white marching band drum…
But the power the drum holds is something quite great;
It’s a shame that the man with the drum’s filled with hate!

And now you’re getting bigger, it’s about time you knew -
About a secret that they have been keeping from you!

Some who are blue and some that are red.
It goes without saying that they’re all very small,
(They live under your bed after all!)

They live under a bed – not far away,
They camp out in a mattress between the springs,
Collecting toys and buttons and interesting things...
The Norf clan is an entertaining narrative poem about a mischievous gamily who live under the bed of a young boy and get him into trouble and prove that sometimes, life just isn't fair - but you'll get over it!

One of the things which has given me the most comfort in my teaching career is hearing teachers swear in the staffroom. It sounds strange but it’s a funny sort of therapy - knowing that someone else is also having a bad day. Sometimes we just need a bit of reassurance that we’re not alone in whatever’s going on in our professional lives. We all have bad days but sometimes it’s easy to think we’re the only ones.
This collection of stories, confessions, grievances and all-out ‘fails’ written by an online community of real teachers is a little window into the problems of teachers around the world. Some will make you cringe, some will make you smile. We’re not endorsing, condoning or condemning anything you read here. Some of the actions described could not be described as ‘best practice’ while some seem like the musings of criminal masterminds. Take some comfort and draw your own conclusions...
Print this document back-to-back to create a foldable booklet for children to take home. You could also fold blank paper inside this for children to complete some of these challenges on.
This homework is generic and aims to give your children a mental challenge, but also to encourage them to get outside, stay active and keep their creative juices flowing.
It can also be adapted and tailored to suit your class.
