A Eulogy to the Learning Lounge

A students argument for Learning Lounge Lessons in Year 9 (Learning Lounge - 03/07/2014)

Students had to put together a panegyric speech about someone or something they were fervent about for an English lesson. The two students involved in this eulogy, performed the speech again for Mrs Litherland and I in their Learning Lounge lesson on Thursday 3/7/2014. Feeling magnanimous we awarded the pair 'Learning Lounge goody bags'.

'Have you heard of a magical place coloured in lime and purple, that combines both education and entertainment?  Have you ever seen such a small room with such immense atmosphere and such intense togetherness.  Well!  I have four words; 'Mrs Litherland’s Learning Lounge!'

99.9% of all pupils and teachers agree that without the learning lounge, the world would be no more.  I personally was a lost boy with little reading ability alone in a school so vast.  That’s when the Learning Lounge took me in. Firstly, they increased my social skills. Then, they taught me the wonders and thrills of reading and finally…they gave me sweets!

Even David Cameron said "What a fun, fantastic and fulfilling experience".  So it’s simple really. Everyone repeat after me.

"Learning Lounge for Year 9’s, Learning Lounge for Year 9's".

And together we can all be happy for yet another year!'
