Thank goodness for Rob. At the end of the resort is a purpose built classroom, built to provide education to the local community about sustainability and nature; as well as to have some fun and make stuff. Charlotte and I have a bit of a thing about standing up at the front, and leading a classroom … I very much hope we could do it, but I think it is something we are frightened of. Whether that’s because of being under the spotlight, having the high likelihood of the kids going nuts and climbing the walls, or wondering if we can even talk with the class.
Rob, leading the way, while Charlotte frenetically looks up words on Google Translate.
So thank goodness we have Rob with us, who across the various lessons at nature school showed that he is both a brilliant natural talent and a well trained ninja adept in the many arts of classroom engagement.

Rob is obviously a Superteacher but I already guessed that from what I have heard about him and looking at the things he does- we dine out on the sums to be solved before the next wave washes them away, and the timeline edifices in the sand! Mind you, it is good to know that Google and Cloudreach employees are perceived as potentially milder and more receptive to your words than the delightful children in these pictures…

I’d take Google and Cloudreach employees any day over a classroom of school kids, although it was definitely made more exciting by not sharing a common language. All of those Christmas nights of charades with you has come to very good use! Rob is amazing – and we look forward to dining out too on tales of his creativity.

Oh you are so brave. It’s bad enough standing up in front of grownups, but wow, children, that takes some doing. I bet you were brilliant and it was thoroughly rewarding though. Also good for Rob, well done that man, he is clearly a natural and give him my congratulations

I’d take anything over children chips! Give me an auditorium, or a court, or anything 😉 You are very kind. I was OK, and Rob saved the brilliance for himself. Much love!
