My school days are over! Again!
Day two of my Back To School experience was every bit as enjoyable as the first...if you forget the first class! Can you believe I got sent to the principle's office?! Scary stuff! Here's the deal...
So there I was in Home Economics learning about nutrients (protein, fibre, carbs etc...) when I was caught chewing gum. Ms Sutton, as lovely as she is, had to abide by the rules and so I was sent to the principle to confess. I remember being afraid of getting into trouble with Mr Lillis when he was just my history teacher but as he's now in charge of the entire show, I knew this wouldn't be good. So I got detention for Friday! Haha. You can hear me getting given out to on tomorrow's Beat Breakfast.
After the ill-fated Home Ec class, it was music...this time practical. I got to show off my recorder skills and didn't do badly at all for someone who hasn't played in ten years. If it weren't for those tricky quavers on the second line! Grrrr...
I also had a look at the school gym for the first time. It's situated across the road from the school in Adamstown Hall, and I have to say I was mightily impressed. There's lots of equipment and I had a go on some of it, as you'll see in the photos, even getting to grips with the punchbag with Mr Lillis! I used the opportunity to take out my frustration at having been given detention!
At the end of it all, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my couple of days back in school. I have to thank all of the staff who were as friendly as I remember. A special thank you to Mr Lillis, the principle, without whose permission this social experiment couldn't have happened, and to the teachers who allowed me and my producer Jennifer (who recorded and edited everything together) to sit in with their classes.
Talk to you soon!
