She met many sailors and explorers, people like Sir Joseph Banks and Captain Vancouver, and read about their exploits.Really proud moments come in class or during other parts of our school day when I get to witness ‘penny dropping’ moments, like when a pupil achieves something they weren’t sure they could or I notice a quiet act of kindness between children. The author depicted in amazing detail the intricracies of life in London, travel by coach, daily struggles and harshness surrounding all that. Cook, according to Rose Cook Lewis, is the reason why Larry is so stubborn and ornery: she never challenged him, and encouraged him to get used to having everything “his way. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
