Minxie Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think that all the primary school children on the Island got the ACE cards earlier this year, so I'll be taking my lot on nice trips round the Manx Heritage sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terse Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Take them to visit the Home of Rest for Old Horses... you should be able to get a parking space. Alternatively; take them to the ice rink at the Villa then, when they've got broken legs, they won't have to go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOMRS97 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Jurby Transport Museum is proving popular with children of all ages - free admission too! They can have a play at being a bus driver while Mum samples the famous Jurby Junk nearby. Bring a picnic or have lunch at Ginger Hall, Sulby Glen, Wildlife Park, Milntown, Mooragh Park - that should occupy a good chunk of the day....

x-in-man Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 They finish Friday! yay! Right, this what you do. You collect them all together. Split them into groups of 30. Send each group round to various houses where one person looks after them between the hours of 8:40 and 3:30. all the time, never being allowed to leave them alone for any period of time. If the adult needs a pee they have to time their bladder to fit in with the 10 mins they get to each lunch. During that time that person has to be mother, father, doctor, policeman, social worker, nurse, diplomat, PA, cook, dresser, minder, coach, entertainer and peace keeper to those 30 kids. By the end of the first week all the people get together and in unison say, 'fuck me - I would never be a teacher' before falling over asleep into the dinner they have just tried to cook. When you wake up discover out of the 52 weeks in a year people really do do that for 38+ of them. 6 weeks - you get it light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Split them into groups of 30. 30 - you have it easy. My mother had 49 in her class just after WWII. By comparison teaching at Ballaugh was a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
