Mrs Peach, local school 'mam of this parish informs me that this year the six classrooms are rather than numbered, to be identified with Sea or maritime nomenclature. This, apparently is acknowledgment of the coastal location and indeed sea view the school enjoys.
Mrs P finally informed me that they had chosen such titles as 'Sea Horse', 'Ocean' and 'Dolphin'.
However, this was not before I had been reduced to tears of laughter as my mind had raced with the more gritty and humdrum seaside references that would have been more applicable to the South Devon coast.
I cannot help but delight in the thought of the nursery, reception and various year one children's classrooms rejoicing under such names as:
SANDY CREVICE
SEWAGE OUTFALL
USED PROPHYLACTICS
FISH HEADS
SYRINGE PILE
DECOMPOSING JELLYFISH
DOG TURDS
and for the toddlers class room:
VICIOUS HERRING GULLS
