It was a day of firsts for us; all the families turned up on time,
which means we got away on time. I don't think this has happened on
any school trip I've been on before. Also, our coach was brand new,
and we were the first school group ever to sit on it. The
air-conditioning was superb, and you wouldn't believe how excited the
children were to discover foot rests and cup holders - what will they
be like at the Chocolate Factory and Disneyland???
Once children were over the foot rest thing, it didn't take long
for a dizzying array of electronic devices to make an appearance. We
had mp3 players, mp4 players, PSPs, DSs - in fact, if you pick any
random selection of letters and numbers and put them together, there's
a pretty good chance a device by that name made an appearance.
Though the children are really excited, behaviour is amazing and
the atmosphere is very calm. I'm really excited about taking this
group on the trip!
