The Kid is back from her school trip, utterly happy and exhausted. It was a great opportunity for her, a five day adventure holiday. This is the only overnight trip during their time at primary school, and it happens once every two years, so it was great good luck that it happened to fall during my daughter's time at this school. The £240 which it cost did require quite considerable belt-tightening. I might not have chosen to cough up for it, if it weren't for the fact that every other child in Years Five and Six went and she would have felt very left out if she hadn't gone too.
It wouldn't suit every child to go on such a trip - or every family to have to shell out for it! - so that pressure to go might have been unwelcome if our circumstances had been different.
The trip sounds similar to private PGL-type adventure holidays, so I might send her on one of those someday... if we can ever save up that kind of money again!
