I know teachers get paid but taking children on a residential, and taking responsibility for other people's children is a huge task. The day never ends... and even when the kids have all gone off to sleep you never really sleep because you re listening out to see if someone wakes up and might need you. When you sign up to be a teacher, you do it knowing that at 3.30, generally the children go home! On a residential they are yours all of the time.
The blog! Thank you for the blog! The time and energy that has gone into it has been fantastic and I've received really really positive comments about it.
So... to finish! Thank you Mrs Matthews and Mr Childs for offering to go along and make this a memorable week for the children at Trimley St Martin!
And... Well done to the pupils who managed to survive the week away from home. I ve heard nothing but great things about your behaviour and the ways in which you ve supported and encouraged each other during the week.
See you tomorrow!!!
Mr Stock
