THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

TUESDAY....... 3 days to go....

We seem to be having a heatwave at the moment; not exactly perfect timing for our year 9 trip to the London Zoo that I had to endure today. A nice and healthy 33 degrees and rumour has it that tomorrow is either a) going to be the hottest day on record in London/UK or b) the hottest day in 100 years. Either way its going to be roasting (35 degrees according to the BBC)

Sir, Miss can we go on the bouncy castle....

This was followed by a lengthy lecture from good old Arshad about how the school could be sued if one of the kids got injured on the bouncy castle and it wasn't specified on the risk assessment blah blah blah, which of course the kids didn't understand (although i think it was very mean) and resulted in the entire class being pissed off as they had been on a bouncy castle on a trip the previous day. All this under the blazing hot sun and we had barely been half and hour into the trip. Shane is particular was completely fed up and we ended up loosing him not once but twice (and therefore was sent back to the bus with the other TA Joel who drove us there) as he just walked off in a huff...

But anyway the Zoo was really cool and im planning to go back at some point to have a much better look around at my leisure. Here are some animal pictures:
