I'm going camping with the year sevens later this week. I'm looking forward to it though obviously there are some aspects that aren't so appealing. I've been making a list of pros and cons about the situation:
pro: I miss teaching the rest of my classes for three days
con: I have to spend three days in a field
pro: There are some exciting activities I'll be involved with
con: Part of it's climbing - I'm scared of heights
pro: It'll be nice to see the kids outside of a classroom environment
con: I'll have to see the kids outside of a classroom environment
pro: I'll gets lots of fresh air
con: The air will stink of sheep
pro: It's a change of routine
con: It's a change of routine
pro: I don't have to do the cooking
con: WE'RE HAVING A CHOCOLATE FREE ZONE
pro: The kids will enjoy it
con: The kids will get over-excited and no one will sleep for two nights
pro: I get to boss the kids around - better than when I was on school camps
con: It'll be my fault if somebody dies
pro: It's nice to be outside in June
con: I bet it rains
pro: It'll be an opportunity to get to know some other teachers better
con: The best looking teacher is camping in the first half of the week
I could go on.
good luck xx
