Hello there! I come home fresh (hot and sweaty maybe?!?!) from Exhibition Evening at school. It is an evening celebrating hard work, art and is the culmination of our special Geography term. It is a chance to loook admiringly at the creativity of colleagues as they find new ways to get children to make art, write and display the work in a clever way! For me, this year, it was a showcase of some of the ensembles in school.
My Year 2 choir sang to their parents for the first time after the festival I took them to 2 weeks ago. They sang a delightful selection of songs from a lovely book called Happy Sun High from Nikki Davies at Out of the Ark music (a great singing book with CD for any KS1 or FS teachers out there)
Drumming club played samba pieces. Hilariously, as 3 children turned up late, I managed to enlist an ex-pupil from last year's samba band to play at the last minute as he was sitting watching. Another ex-member helped out also!
Year 2 music club played some lullabies and a melody they had composed, and did really well, it's the first time they've performed.
My older choir were lively as usual but gave a great spirited performance!
Sweetly, one of my year 5's played a solo version of Titanic!
Though may marigolds are growing, my cosmos are still to flower. They have definitely grown, but I hope flowers will bloom in abundance in three weeks ready to be my wedding bouquet or at least do SOMETHING at my wedding!
I guiltily bought this vintage dress at the weekend at a shop in Maldon from a very nice lady in a lovely 400 year old tea house called Truly Scrumptious which not only does beautiful food in a lovely setting but has a vintage clothing section and antique section which you can go and browse whilst your fiance plays with their smartphone!
I surreptitiously purchased and carried downstairs but apparently, according to CBC, he knows when I have bought something as I come skipping down the street in glee. Right, must remedy that- must look miserable when having bought something! I like it because it is modest but still cute. Any ideas on date? They weren't totally sure. It's a Bertex dress!x
Hope you are well!x
