We took a trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park, I am not really an animal lover but I had quite a nice day with my little class. It was the hottest day of the year, boy did I feel it, and by the time I got home I was exhausted and filthy. School trips are always hard work, I am a typical German constantly counting and like it all to be organised just so. My natural worrier kicks in and the 'what ifs' take over making it a long a stressful day. The most relaxing trip I have ever been on was with Brightwell when the whole school went to the living rainforest and we took over the whole place, we had so many hands on deck it felt like each child was being supervised by at least three pairs of eyes, quite a luxury. Schools want you to take children on trips but they make it quite difficult to justify not being in class "learning" my class learned more about Africa and the animals who live there in one day than if we had spent a whole term on the topic (oh wait, we did!)
