We are looking after my grandsons while DS and DIL are having a few days away. The youngest is 11, in his last year at junior school and my son is forwarding on any pertinent messages from school.
We got one yesterday to say that today and tomorrow ice pops will be on sale at break at the cost of 50p each. No worries, we popped today’s 50p in a little cash bag in his rucksack. But it got me thinking - hopefully an 11 year old won’t lose his 50p but what about the littlies who either forget or lose their 50p’s? Are they to stand by and watch the others enjoying theirs?
May not be relevant but this is a small Catholic Ofsted rated excellent school in an affluent area. Surely from the Cash & Carry ice pops would cost a few pence each and could, in this extreme weather, be given to every child regardless. Not very inclusive to my mind.
We don’t have many dealings with school but would it be very out of order for me to contact them and say we would happily pay for every child to have an ice pop tomorrow. Or is that acting out of turn? Perhaps I’m over-reacting but I was once that little child who lost their pennies on a school trip and had to do without.
What do you reckon? Would you do it?
People we do actually admire? Are there any?
Are You Finding the Hot Weather is Making you Short Tempered?
