I checked out for a bit...just got consumed with things going on. It's always a busy time at school with the end of the term coming up. Today was also Sports Day at school. Four years ago we had a Sports Day during summer school. It was such a hit that the school implemented it into the regular school year. I volunteered to organize it and have been in charge each year since then. I enjoy doing it. The teachers run an event for the teams. The teacher assistants take the teams around to the different events and the parents follow along cheering on their kids. Everyone gets really into it. The TAs will put face paint on the kids and bring along drums and tambourines to help with cheering. Some parents even made signs and pom poms. Everyone had a great time.
In three weeks is the Christmas Concert. I rack my brain every year to choose a song that's not about Christmas but relates to snow. I've done every song about snowmen and snow flakes. It's even harder with nursery (2 years old) because they can't really perform. The important thing for them is their costume, they have to look cute and no one will care that they can't perform. So this year I chose a song that doesn't have any words. It's just music and the kids will shake bells. BUT I'm having really cute costumes made. They'll wear a white t-shirt, silver vest and different colored pants. The costume is what will make this years performance.

Good to have the updates back! It's funny how the Christmas thing is no longer a big deal in the US, with diversity and all. I never think how hard it would be in another country!
It's ironic how big of a deal it is. There's already Christmas decorations up all over town. And most of the kids at school don't celebrate it but the owner insists on having Christmas be the theme. So annoying!
