With Whit Week just around the corner it is time for the Class of WME to receive their half term reports, whereby 'Teacher' has been assessing the latest academic arrivals for evidence of photostream progress...
May's top performer was undoubtedly WME Wolverhampton which has been graded A* for achievement across the curriculum. Most notable here was a Northycote Farm field study (a sniff of the sensory garden plus some lemon balm and soapwort) plus some Wednesfield homework concentrating on the repairs to Pinfold Bridge. A Rocket Pool bus stop and a Park Avenue tiled street sign complete this portfolio with distinction.
If Wolverhampton was teacher's pet, WMEs Walsall and Warwickshire also gained high marks in being commended to the headmaster. WME Walsall excelled in History (the Walsall Wood Colliery Memorial) and Art (a snazzy snap of the New Art Gallery), whereas WME Warwickshire favoured Literature (Nuneaton's George Eliot Hotel) and Religious Studies (a jolly friar at Rugby's Merchants Inn). Both students therefore receive a gold star each, well done!
Special mention must go to WME Shropshire which has overcome some severe shyness by supplying its first pictures of 2018 - the photos in question showcase Shrewsbury with the Loggerheads pub, St Mary's Water Lane and a trio of trains. Equally as reluctant normally is WME Solihull but they too have shown sparks of imagination courtesy of some Olton offerings (the Olton Tavern Ember Inn and an Old Lode Lane bus stop).
Not among the high achievers but still making valuable classroom contributions this month are WME Birmingham and WME Sandwell. Brum busies itself with Minworth (Mansell's cycle/lawnmower repairs workshop) and a street sign from Old Oscott, while Sandwell raises its hand for Old Hill (the Horseshoe Inn then the sad burnt-out remains of the Wharf). Elsewhere on the register, WME Staffordshire proves it has been paying attention by sampling Stapenhill Gardens and Stoke's derelict Cliff Vale pub.
Finally, bunking off round the back of the bike shed we have WME Coventry and WME Dudley which both narrowly avoid detention thanks to a solitary submission each. Coventry's is a repeat showing for some Tile Hill station signage, and Dudley's is the dartboard of the Somerset House, a lost Stourbridge pub that was part of the Enville Run crawl. With that, the bell rings for home time and school is out for another month, phew!
