First week back.

The first week back at school is over. Finally! It was mainly calm at the beginning of the week, but by the end, the pupils had remembered how to misbehave. One paper-pellet-pelting incident resulted in me confiscating this (although I actually wanted to keep it, as it's great fun to use to get sweet wrappers in the bin from the other side of the shed):


It's basically a tram ticket with two pieces of elastic, one a each end, making an excellent catapult.

In other news, I went to see Avatar in 3-D, and French, at the Gaumont cinema in the centre of Nantes. It's a really good film. Maybe a tad long, at almost three hours, but pretty watchable nonetheless. It's the first 3-D film that i've seen where it's subtly so; there weren't things leaping out at you all the time, and random objects weren't being flung towards the audience, and it was better for it.
