The sausage machine of life and the pig of happiness.
Andy Cope (author of 'Spy dog') came to school today(with Lara THE
spy dog).
Writing workshop in the morning for the whole of KS2 and a 'Being Brilliant' workshop in the afternoon for Y5&6. I'd had the privilege of listening to the BB talk last September at a staff training, so was interested to see how he presented the same topic to kids and attended as a parent helper
His essential message is - be a 2%er - one of the two percent of people who
are some of the happiest people ever. (CHOOSE to be happy. It'll literally change your life.)
Where does the sausage machine come into it?
Well, you put pork into the machine, you get pork sausages out. You put vegetables in (or even vegetarians some of the kids suggested) and you get vegetarian sausages out.
You get the idea.
Andy looked at all sorts of things the kids could do to become happier, saying 'Be careful what you put into your sausage recipe. Good stuff in makes for much better sausages out!'
So, fellow cloudies; how are your sausages looking, and what can you do to make them even better?
Many thanks to Andy for yet another inspirational day.
(The pig of happiness is a short youtube video - check it out and see whether you can leak happiness too.)

Unfortunately, it isn't always what we put in to making the sausage that produces the end product, it's what others' add to it. In that instance, I'd suggest giving that one to the dog and starting again with the right mix.
