The last day of school today for 2013. There was a lovely atmosphere around the place as people finally realised they were about to get time to relax a little.
Last night I wrote about a quiz myself and Mrs Pitts were working on for today. It was extended by a TES user who had posted his own Christmas Music quiz. This ended up being 52 questions long and filling the whole morning. Perfect. The afternoon was spent watching a DVD and eating pizza. Fun!
I would share the PowerPoint here but there isn’t time and I’m not sure anyone would be bothered! Let me know if you want to try my quiz and I’ll organise some kind of interactive form. It may not include all the questions though, but would give you a flavour of life in my class!
The rest of the day was spent grabbing a cache, having a nap and then preparing for tomorrow’s final Morley & District Concert Band gig for the year. Then I checked emails and a new geocache had been published, not too far from our house. The only trouble was that a puzzle needed to be solved before the final location was revealed. Clicking the link to the cache, I knew it could go one of two ways: either be straightforward or be a stinker that needed to be left alone a bit before solving…
It was easy. I was the first to solve it. Now, dilemma time. Mrs Pitts had gone up to bed by now, it being after 10pm. She was still awake. Do I tell her that I had solved it and it was easily something we could get at this time of night, or leave it? I told her. We had a discussion that basically went over the merits of grabbing an FTF or leaving it for another calendar gap (it is in a location we visit fairly regularly anyway…) Decision made. She got dressed. We popped in the car and drove the short distance to the final location. There were cars passing by, but no other people around. By this point, 22:46, the cache had been published an hour. We knew that when we left the house, we had been the only solvers. We opened the cache and found that most heavenly of caching sights, a blank log sheet. FTFs we were for the 32nd time!
