Over the last month I have taken three more courses with the young people from Littledown School in Slough.
These courses start with me picking up two pupils and a staff member from the school at 10am and taking them to Twynersh Fisheries. They are only ten or eleven years old and are usually better behaved than some of the other young people I deal with. Their behavior is nevertheless challenging to say the least and it is amazing to see how the staff deal with them. The day ends with me returning the day’s pupils to school by about 2.30pm.
A short day but very rewarding, hopefully the kids enjoyed it too.
As usual Twynersh provided lots of fish including a couple of nice bream caught by one lad.
Littledown pupil very proud of his 2lb bream
More importantly the weather was kind. This is particularly important when dealing with small children as they have a small body mass and are very susceptible to cold wet conditions.
I only get to teach the older pupils but I would really like to try my hand with the eight and nine year olds at this school.
