Facebook has been one way that I have kept some connection with my former students. So this post is mostly for them.
I loved teaching and tried at every turn to make learning fun. This may or may not have worked for you.
Over the years I enjoyed writing nonsense poetry often to share with you all in the classroom. My latest little book, ‘Just Playne Nonsense’, is a collection of these. Each member of the 15 in my ‘Playne’ family has a delightful idiosyncrasy. Following each nonsense poem I have detailed where the idea came from and included colourful pictures.
It’s a trip down memory lane and I hope it brings back good memories for you too. It’s probably me just being sentimental and goofy!
‘Just Playne Nonsense’ is available for $22 on Amazon, or $20 from Barossa Valley Christian bookshops, and from me - amthurlow@bigpond.com
The killer for me is the $12 postage for one book. (Surprisingly it’s the same $12 flat rate for up to 5 KILOGRAMS of books!! That's a lot of books!!)
I’ve added a picture from the book of ‘Jane Playne’, who is a self-confessed bookworm, and after a week of being harassed by young kids, exacts her revenge! Might remind you of our end-of-year special days and water fights too! Take care, Andy (aka Mr. Thurlow)

THANKS TO PASTOR PAUL KERBER
The Southern Barossa Lutheran Church wishes to thank Pastor Paul for his ministry among us now that he has completed his term as Interim Pastor at the end of April.
Hopefully members have also had an opportunity to thank him personally as he shared God’s word and sacraments.
In December 2024, Pastor Paul was asked to extend his term for a further six months and at that time, he chose to extend it for just three months.
Pastor Paul has indicated he will now be on leave in preparation to follow God’s leading in the future.
