Year 7 camp takes place at the end of June and everything is being planned out. Two girls in my form asked if there would be anywhere to plug in hair straighteners. I know it's only a camp for twelve year olds and it's not like we're heading out into a forest and surving by eating moss and slugs but they're not really getting into the Ray Mears spirit of things.
There probably is somewhere to plug them in because we have a little building for cooking and eating. In fact I heard that one of the art teachers took some hair straighteners themselves last year, but no way am I having my form preening themselves each morning. I'm desperate to win the interform challenge but I'm fairly certain the pupils' appearance doesn't count for points. We'll be going down a cave so I think a torch and some sturdy shoes or boots would be of much greater use.
I was thinking about getting an air horn and blasting it at 6am each morning, but I imagine the kids will all be up before me anyway. If they ever go to sleep at all that is.
