As you may or may not be aware, I am still in full time schooling for another year. After that I can leave if I want to, but I'll probably carry on to a higher qualification.
Anyhoo, my school has this thing they do during the last week of term before the summer. They do this thing called 'Activity Week'. We spend one day on the field pretending to give a toss about Sports Day, one day on a trip to a theme park or doing an activity in school, and two days doing pointless and often boring activities in random groups, before finishing off with a half day of timetable 'lessons' which tend to be watching DVDs. One of the lessons is taken for our end of year assembly (one per year) where we sit through 40 minutes of teachers twittering on about who-knows-what and giving out a bunch of awards, all the while anticipating the set by the staff band that comes at the end (they always play the same songs, but it's still a high point of the year).
We are into that week now, and I spent today doing Design Technology and Languages work with a tenuous link to the Olympics. Yesterday I painted walls to help liven up our Art department, and tomorrow we have Green Day, which I probably spend most of in front of a computer 'Googling Green'.
Bring on the summer, is all I can say.
Does anyone else get frustrated by the stuff that schools do to try and make things exciting near the end of the year?
Let me know!
Until tomorrow,
