My form had their trip to the local library - or librarary as year sevens pronounce it, in all fairness it is the word in the English language that would win a 'things that sound like you'd find them in the woods but actually wouldn't' competition - this afternoon and I was fortunate enough to go with them.
I'm proud to say they behaved themselves very well, though during their introductory talk when asked what they might expect to find in the library the first reponse was playstation games. Which is true enough but as word association goes library to playstation is a little unusual. I suppose to many eleven year old boys the word playstation could be associated with anything. Football... playstation. Car... playstation. Turnips... playstation. When asked if they had any questions they were interested if the library had any wii games.
I was also impressed with the drivers around our school. On our way from school to the library lots of people stopped to let us cross roads. It was as though I was holding an invisible lollipop. Thankfully with my form behaving so splendidly we probably gave a very good impression of the school too. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.
