Day 343 - Educational Gambling

Thursday March 25th

My last day at More House and I am very sad. Very little in the way of teaching today. My Year 8s are very content to potter around the class room, drawing, reading and chatting. I teach my Year 9s to play Blackjack, using my Johnnie Walker poker chips and then my Year 7s play Uno and watch their friends playing in a rugby tournament.

Highlight of the day must be my Year 9s, all of whom dislike each other, sitting around me at a desk, playing cards and not wanting to go to lunch as they want to keep playing. Priceless

In the blink of an eye, my placement is over and after a farewell pint with my mentor and Head of Maths, I head home and reflect on a fantastic experience.
