"Good morning everybody,welcome to the first Herbology lesson of the term, I am so glad you could all make it."She gazed out at the sea of faces before her. Students... they were the future and here she was facilitating their learning. It was such a privelegde.
"First of all I should formally introduce myself, my name is Professor Seren Bentley and I will be your Herbology teacher for the term. I have a wealth of experience in the area of Herbology, having spent a great deal of my professional life out in the wilderness studying a variety of magical and mundane plants. I have to goals for this term... the first is to provide you all with exciting and interrsting learning experiences and secondly to inspire you and help you to reach for your goals." Whatever they may be.

"Before we get started I must stress one key rule to you all...." Seren paused, taking the time to make eye contact with a number of students.
"Safety... is first and foremost the most important thing you need to remember in this class. I trust you all brang your dragon hide gloves?... if not I have a few spares up the front."
And now on with the second most important part... the lesson.
Seren gestured around her at the ship they were on. "Now you're probably wondering why I've decided to hold the fist Herbology lesson on this ship.... and the reason for that is, its not every day we have this opportunity, and secondly it ties in quite neatly with out topic today."Gesturing at the sheet covered fish tanks behind her Seren moved onto the next feature of the lesson. The contents...
"Now what do you think we might be looking at today?" she asked. Though really it was pretty obvious.
