Last week, I was working for Extreme Physics in Stowe. The idea is a 3 day residential (we did 2 back-to-back) for year 10s. There are teams of 4 and their teacher from a number of schools. They do a series of challenges and compete for trophies. They have to do a presentation at the end and some of the presentations are brilliant. And they get the student helpers to do some wonderful things (like standing in a wheel barrow being pushed along, though not for long! And wearing safety goggles as protection for ...)
The school was really posh on the outside, though the inside was a little run down.

The week was great but exhausting. We were running around all week but the kids were great though some were crazy.We had to stop them working because we adults wanted to go to bed at 11pm. (Or to go over to the common room in the boys dorm which was much nicer and had the wine!)
I had a little time to get some photos.

The big part of the week was the kids got to go indoor sky diving. And as a student helper (though no longer a student exactly) I got to go too. And I will post photos when I get hold of them. But it was so much fun!
