What better way to spend Friday morning than to take a group of Year 5 and 6 boys to the museum to discover examples of transport in the early 1800's?
Now I freely admit that I was a tad tired and had to remind myself that I was dealing with four boys. Once I got over myself I no longer minded the endless photos they took of their own tonsils, insides of their nostrils and the close-up back views of each other as they climbed stairs.
Trying to explain to them that taking a video of a static object may mean that something gets lost in the translation was also a lost cause.
I forgot that boys can and do giggle more than girls once they get an idea in their heads and the sense of the bizarre takes on a life of its' own.
Still I am nothing if not determined and we forged ahead. In the end they gathered a lot of information by moving around the museum, taking photos and doing lots of talking. Did I mention moving around AND DOING LOTS OF TALKING? Did I also mention the interesting close-ups of nostrils, eyes, tonsils?
We had an iced chocolate in the museum cafe and I had a strong triple shot coffee.
I had to come back to school and have a little nana nap under my desk!!!!
Secretly I thoroughly enjoyed myself and as always it was a pleasure to take our students on an excursion. They really are delightful.
