Wednesday afternoon, sat on the swing and taught group three there last lesson. Just three of them left so a huge drop out which is not good and discovered one of the three is the older brother of one of the 2B children, I already knew that the other two had relatives either studying or working at the school so clearly these three felt obliged to come. Other classes the drop out rate has not been so bad. Anyway as you can see it was lovely. The builders creating the kitchen have put up a temporary stage too for our concert and it was all looking lovely.
I woke up yesterday morning to this.
All the hard work snowed off, well not quite. The roof for the temporary stage was broken by the snow fall, and it is so cold that we have decided to move the event inside. It means fewer people can attend. But over lunch I could see a anxious discussion taking place and I guess that was the decision taken as a result. This is the first time that the school has held a fundraiser and my head is very anxious that people locally will not understand the idea or appreciate it so she is concerned that my plan to just do a lucky dip for 20 coms e.g. the price of an ice cream may be too much for the audience. The event seems to be a bit of a missmash of the usual children's singing and us staff performing, anyhow we will see how it goes. Everyone is very tired and my throat is not the only one knackered so not sure how the singing will be at all. We were at the school till 7 last night and so I am working at the Ashu this morning to as I know it will be mayhem and rehearsals at school.
There are two guests from France staying and speaking with them I had such a pang to be home. But just one last hurdle the staff conference and if it warms up I will be probably very reluctant to leave at that point.
