I mean at least she won't get a duplicate and it make a change from 'best teacher' mugs?!

Asked ds what she liked - gardening apparently. DS's class is kestrel class so aha I thought. A little kestrel ornament for the garden. Except it is not little. No no. It is a gigantic genetically modified kestrel. Maybe she can put it at the bottom of the garden so it looks smaller?!

It's wonderful! It will definitely scare the children into submission.

Definitely memorable.

Just hope she hasn't been assigned a new class for next year and some poor, unsuspecting did arrives at their new class in September to find the kestrel minder in place 😂

Brilliant! I thought I'd done well with teacher gifts this year but that's a step above!

AdaColeman · 04/07/2017 12:11

I want one! Grin

HemanOrSheRa · 04/07/2017 12:11

Grin That is EPIC! She will love it and it'll probably make her cry happy tears!

RhiWrites · 04/07/2017 12:10

Brilliant! She'll remember this for-ever. It'll make her day.

He hasn't seen it yet...
It looks a little judgemental??

Maybe it can sit in the corner of the classroom and she can move it to desks of children that are misbehaving?!

Grin Grin

Is DS prepared to give it to her?!

ParadiseCity · 04/07/2017 12:06

Put it in the classroom with a ticking clock inside it. Even more sinister. Shock

Storymakers · 04/07/2017 12:05

If I was a teacher I'd absolutely put it in the classroom.

steppedonlego · 04/07/2017 12:04

Howling. Please still give it her op.

Vereesa · 04/07/2017 12:02

I LOVE IT! "Giant kestrel watches over you" gong sounds. Grin

chowmeinchick · 04/07/2017 12:00

This is a good idea 😁

She can put it in the class.
