Today I got to retreat from everyday school life with a great bunch of students. I loved the informal out of school chats that we enjoyed over lunch or travelling, between sessions. I got to sit in the sunshine and feel the warmth through the window melt away the coldness. The coldness however returned later in the afternoon and the fire had been neglected so the chill returned.
There were a couple of students I’d taught in year 7 on the retreat today. It really is a pleasure to work at the senior school and see the maturing of our students. I think every junior school teacher ought to experience this. It makes those trying early adolescent times worthwhile and amusing even in hindsight.
On Facebook today I’ve seen the mention of Spring. I can feel it coming too with more anticipation than I’ve felt for a long time.
