- Year Nine Camp. Saturday: The Parting of the Ways

- Everything on the Saturday morning seemed to run like clockwork. The bus to take us to the ferry arrived on time, the ferry cruied serenely away from Arran and before we knew it we were back on the mainland. After such an exciting week it was a very uneventful morning. I felt very sad leaving it all behind but was looking forward to getting home... more

- Year Nine Camp. Friday: Come Dancing

- Friday started much as the previous four days had done. Bleary eyed but glad to get out of an uncomfortable bed. I know that hostels are supposed to be more luxurious - and I use the term in a relative sense - than going camping but my bed was seriously hard and the pillow could have been used in ancient times for a good stoning. In fact I... more

- Year Nine Camp. Thursday: Climb every Mountain

- We were due to go gorge walking on the Thursday, this is pretty much what you would imagine it to be: walking up a gorge. Unfortunately an excess of rain during the night meant it would be impossible. Tempting though it was to go ahead anyway, the torrents of water gushing from the hills would easily sweep away any careless teenagers. Instead we... more

- Year Nine Camp. Wednesday: Giddy-up!

- On Wednesday I was with the same group I had been the previous day. I was quite happy about this as they were an entertaining bunch. In the morning we went horse riding. I'd never done this before so wasn't sure what to expect. I soon got into it though and was quite happy to imagine I was a cowboy riding into town. I just wished I'd though to... more

- Year Nine Camp. Tuesday: Flying

- My second full day of the camp was the toughest. I was to go up a mountain with a group. At eight hundred and seventy four feet above sea level Goat Fell is an enticing propostion for someone like me who loves hills, especially when you consider that you start by the coast so are at zero metres when you set off. In typical fashion the pupils... more

- We had thirty children on the trip and split them into four groups. They had a rota of activities to do over the five days we'd be there. These included a spot of climbing, walking up a mountain, horse riding and some touristy stuff. On the first day I was assigned to a group doing a tour of a castle and then a trip on an open-top bus into the... more

- Year Nine Camp. Sunday: Beginnings

- I was rudely wakened by my alarm clock at six in the morning last Sunday morning. It's a slightly disturbing and unwelcome experience getting up at that time on the Lord's day. I was a little surprised that my alarm clock would even let me set it to go off at that time on a Sunday. It hadn't helped that one of my friends had texted at eight o'... more

- Having been carefully selected to go on both year seven and year nine camps - presumabley on the basis of being young, energetic and keen to get involved in anything that I'm offered, but most importantly being unattached so can bugger of for a few nights without it bothering anyone - I am in for a tiring few weeks. So this Saturday I'm feeling... more

- As a year seven form tutor I get the pleasure of going camping with them later this month. Having done the same last year with another form I'm really looking forward to it. It's so nice to see the pupils in a different, more relaxed, environment. And it's nice to break out of the classroom and get some fresh air, even if it does rain on you... more

- Anyone who has not looked at today's Boggart Blog yet should check out my article on last night's Channel 4 documentary Jesus Camp and then read this unrelated but complimentary story from Amanda Marcotte at Pandangon about a teacher in the USA who was sacked for showing his class a simple conjuring trick. Christian parents accused him of... more
