just another morning here

I feel this deserves a blog post, having had children at Pinhoe school for the past four years. Not quite sure why I get so stupidly emotional at these things, or even why I should feel a bit odd about it being the last one at this school, but I do!

We all traipsed round the corner tonight for Abbie’s Christmas production, which was quite entertaining. The Y5 and Y6 classes had prepared sketches and songs focussed on ‘Christmas around the World’, which were fabulous, as well as including a re-telling of the traditional nativity in French using puppets! Very creative all round, some very funny moments (like when Abbie realised she’d left her words in the classroom and would have to blag it!) and some star performances from various children

Abbie and a couple of friends in her class have been practising music together – she’s on flute, with Thomas on violin and Michael on piano – both fairly good musicians for their age. Their teacher has really encouraged them (have I mentioned before how much I love Abbie’s teacher?!), both to practise and by giving them opportunities to play. Tonight they were playing as everyone came in and went out, as well as accompanying one of the carols.
They did very well
