Popular Post Denim Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 Disappointing video. I was expecting to see children with wooden rifles charging at sacks of hay dangling from a cross beam and screaming their lungs out whilst pulling a face. Or even slithering under low wire through muddy puddles. I think most of them would have enjoyed themselves more. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy 4680 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Damn good idea, physical fitness has never hurt children, unfortunatly too many schools have sold off their playing fields for housing devopments, resulting in more obesity amongst school children, its not all about junk food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and why there was no diversity in the children and staff. All white and no apparent gender confusion etc. Disgraceful. And, those games could develop a spirit of competition. How dreadful would that be. Why don't you contact them and demand to know the answers to your pertinent questions? I'm sure they'll be only too pleased to divulge the information to a foreigner.

You are partially right. It is the greedy Local Education Authorities (LEA) that did that. Plus you have the gender barmy brigade who have to justify their existence and stifle and progress in anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedoc Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 That’s the first time I’ve heard of it. Kids only went back to school yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herfiehandbag Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Looks like some sensible outdoor activity - a bit of physical activity and some interesting tasks for the children with a well presented message. Not sure about it being "military training" - no obvious cock ups, no transport turning up at the wrong place or time, nobody turning up in the wrong kit, no standing around for twenty minutes before being bollocked for being late, no cooks or Q staff throwing a wobbly because "they didn't know", where is the PTI at the end shouting about you being in your own time now? Nothing recognisably military about it at all! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
