I survived my sleep-out for Crisis with my 55 Year 10 students last night. It wasn't too cold, although it was pretty windy when I patrolled the school grounds at 4am to check up on them. It them rained heavily at 5.30am so I had to wake up the group who were sleeping in the open and get them under cover in my office before they got completely soaked. In the end I got c.5 hours sleep on my office floor, with the door open straight onto the car-park, before teaching 10 lessons today!
My card selling and sponsorship has raised about £100 so far and the total for the whole group is about £1500 at the moment, so a worthwhile effort for homeless people at this cold time of year.
