Going to be a bit vague as don't want to give away too many details to identify myself.
Basically school are going to take a very small group of yr5s to a country rather far away .... 12 hour flight! They have links with a primary school.
Ds2 is very very keen. It would be an amazing experience and he doesn't get homesick, however he has never been on a plane.
We are going to put his name forward - don't know how they select yet. I was surprised by the negative reactions from some parents - they must think I'm a crap parent for wanting him to go. Would you let your child go?
i would never have let ds1 go, as he gets very homesick, and I know I wouldn't have wanted to go at that age, but ds2 wants to.
