We had a school from the inner city today. Despite being only 15 miles from Nottingham we hardly ever get a visit from one. We did get a few in the first year or two but they seemed to drop out and only the rural schools came. We’re not sure whether it’s the cost of transport or a lack of interest.
Parents at rural schools are often associated with agriculture so we aren’t really carrying out our mission of educating people about farming. It’s a self-imposed mission so nobody is on our back about it, but you do sometimes wonder what you’re doing.
So there I was, standing in front of a class, feeling pleased with myself that we were actually spreading the message to people who needed to hear it, when one of the kids threw up.
Julia’s idea of running them round to get rid of surplus energy before passing them on to me might need rethinking.
Nice to hear you got a visit from an inner-city school and they want to come again! You must be doing something right! With any luck they’ll spread the word and you’ll get more such visits – hopefully without the sick! 😉
Yes, we are hoping so. 😉
Great that you got an inner-city school to come.
Even better – they want to come back three times next year. 😉
Throw a sickie – that’s how to get off school
It worked for him, he spent the erst of the afternoon sitting in the shade with a drink!
Yummy!
They look good but it’s like working in a chocolate factory – I no longer eat pizza!
😉
Haha!
Lol. I love your blogs. X
Thank you. 😉
it’s bound to be worse if they do the running around AFTER eating…
They can do what they like after they leave the kitchen! 😉
