Getting the children washed and off to bed is a major undertaking each evening. The schools have it down to a carefully orchestrated military operation. This is all overseen my matron. The children's bed-times are staggered by age so the younger children go to bed a little earlier. Each age/class group has their set washing up and bed time. Usually there is a bell of some sort and the children know just when their bedtime is. There is rarely any fussng about it, but the younger children would prefer to stay up longer.

Bath Time

I would maybe make some friends,
And not smell at both ends,
People wouldn't laugh.
I wouldn't be shamed,
And smelly I'd not be named,
If only I had a bath.

Amaya Chandler, Junior Wyvern (Queen's College Junior School), 1989-90.
