Son is off to Out Of School Club tomorrow...

[cjt110]

.. and it feels like dropping him off in the jungle!

Okay, maybe not but I have never met these folks, he's never been there, doesn't know the people nor the place.

I don't even know what he has to take other than his lunch - and that's a whole 'nother ball game - if he'll even eat bloody sandwiches or whether I will look like a heathen sending him with plain pasta, peas and sweetcorn because I know he will eat them.........

ARRRRRRRRGH!

I thought I had left this shit behind at Reception last year.

I've just done exactly the same today. No panic phone calls so far...

I'm sure he will be perfectly fine but god... I feel like I'm leaving him in outer mongolia as my Mum would say!

He's off on a trip tomorrow so I can only guess I'll need to send a rain coat etc too?

I'm in the US and this morning it seemed like every child in my town was being dropped off at one summer camp or another. Dropped DS off and he immediately found 3 schoolfriends there and raced off with them.

Bless you op, he will have a ball. Ours like you to pack suncream and a hat, a waterproof coat, shoes they can run and climb in, and a big bottle of water. Make sure you put his name on everything and if you have an ice pack pop that in his lunch box.
Dont worry at all about his lunch, just make sure no nuts and include extra snacks in case he doesnt like theirs.
He will make new friends quickly - they will make sure a more experienced child takes him under their wing. He will love it.

I'll report back tomorrow on whether I he survives his first day!
