I once took a group of Year 7s on a 10-mile sponsored walk for @World_Wildlife
They were 11/12. Of course they wanted to help polar bears.
Halfway, I got them some ice cream and asked how they were feeling. It was pretty hot on Hampstead Heath
Thread 1/6

They all moaned. Except one kid who said, “This is nothing, Miss. This is easy. I walked more than 100 miles in Africa once, when soldiers were killing people.”
He’d raised over £20.
For polar bears.

A 13 yr old boy in my tutor group called Sinan once started crying because he’d lost his pound during the day. He was upset because that was his dinner. Without it he’d have to wait until school breakfast club the next day for a meal... 1/5
My tutor group had one of the best attendance/punctuality rates because I had a toaster in my classroom (not PAT tested and eventually confiscated)
I made toast & butter & jam for my boys on normal mornings, and brought in fruit & brioche on GCSE exam mornings. 2/5
