Last night, when we double-checked everything ready for the school breakfast presentation this morning, we found we’d miscalculated. It wasn’t 300 children, it was 600. As a result we had to go through all the breakfast samples we had and divide them in half. We were still able to feed a multitude without recourse to loaves and fishes, and our outputs are going to look immense this year.
We left 600 happy children behind us, most of whom (according to their answers) have either cereal or waffles for breakfast. It’s a lot better than a class we asked a couple of years ago who all seemed to have Nutella on toast.
It could have been worse, I once turned up with a lesson designed for 11-year-olds and gave it to a class of 7-year-olds. According to the teachers, it makes a difference. In my own defence, I didn’t realise they were that young, I just thought they were smaller than usual. Or possibly far away.
Short post today – I’m feeling lazy. We’re on the farm now but after the school stuff, lunch, admin and blog it’s time to weight the polytunnel down again (we have the end of Storm Jonas passing by at the moment) and go home while it’s still light.
I’m using a stock photo because we forgot to organise photographic permission for the school this morning – oh for the simple days when all you needed was a camera.
That permission would probably take an age
Yes, it can. Oh, the stories I could tell…
I bet you have a few too. 😉
Yep 🙂
Your hearts must have sank when you realised you had miscalculated the breakfasts needed! Loved the Father Ted sketch!
Yes, they did. And I confess voices were raised too. However, after 27 years she doesn’t take any notice of me. 😉
This all sounds familiar! 😉
