Geography IS fun.

Dear Mr Berry,

Despite what you may recall, I can assure you, I definitely was listening when you were teaching us about rivers. In fact, on the rare occasions that I find myself walking alongside one, I still mentally label the different parts in my head (although it's your booming voice that I hear, rather than my own: "SOURCE", "MEANDER", "MOUTH").

In the lead up to you telling me to "pay attention and stop doodling", I was actually 'doing Geography' - reflecting how Ireland is often left out when people 'cartoon up' the UK map. It is clearly a bear in mid-jump. 

I drew this for you in the hope that you will see it too.

With fond memories of your scariness,

Olivia
