Two passages stood out or me: “Elizabeth had two husbands – the one who spent months at a time with her, with whom she had come to Yorkshire; and the imagined husband, the one who was by her side when the one in the next room was away. Then cut up and stew well with a little water, and when sufficiently tender serve up with a savoury sauce.

I love the freedom I am afforded in how I tackle all the different elements of my job, both in the classroom and in how I utilise the school grounds. A warm invitation is extended to all parents and carers to attend any of the events arranged by the school and our wonderful PTA – Friends of the School.

Mrs Cook: the Real and Imagined Life of the Captain's Wife is the eighth novel by Australian author, Marele Day. I had the Marykirk paper round growing up, for a few years, and won’t quickly forget the dark cold mornings when the rain is driving into the side of your face, which definitely wakes you up. The volume of PE and games time our pupils have access to is one of the main reasons my own children are at Lathallan. I get to be involved with netball, track and field, swimming, cross country, laser run (watch this space) to name a few and get to witness first-hand the multitude of benefits that team and individual sports have for our pupils.

In the great sweep of history, of winds, tides and seasons, there is a story of courage and survival that belongs not to a great sea captain, but to his wife. I don’t have a particular style because the J7 pupils spend a lot of time with me so that would get very boring, very quickly. She continued to receive relatives and friends who came to admire the many relics and maps which filled the house, but apparently destroyed any letters from Cook to her.I also enjoy sports fixtures and Mrs Howie; she has such a wealth of experience and works so hard to get the best out of each pupil. Marele Day is the author of the bestselling literary novel, Lambs of God , and the Claudia Valentine mysteries, including The Last Tango of Delores Delgado , winner of the American Shamus Crime Fiction Award. J7 class teacher and tutor, Mrs Cook, joined Lathallan two-and-a-half years ago, following in the footsteps of her three children – Ramsay, Elizabeth and Harry – who are all pupils at the school. If you and your child are joining our school community for the first time we look forward to a positive and successful partnership.
