What's in store?

Work, work and work really! That's my weekend summed up!

On Monday we have our link inspector coming in to review results from 2007/2008 and set targets for 2009/2010, (2008/2009 already set.) This means we've been very busy preparing for this and together with rehearsals for our show I have got very behind with all my work. The weekend is planned to be spent in school again! I have 2 cupboards to put the wheels on, sort out the maths equipment and put them in the new cupboards, catch up with marking, rank all our children in order for their 11+ results, sort out costumes and props for the show, write notes on my childten to hand over to other teachers for parents evenings next week, (another week of late nights,) to name but a few jobs!

Our school fireworks display went off last night with a few thousand people attending and muggins 'ere doing the PA system. All very well except that my gear is all wired in for the show so we had to borrow some old bits! A random twin CD deck that kept doing bizarre things, a microphone that kept cutting in and out and a single Peavey speaker better suited to an electric guitar than a PA system for making safety announcements!

With just over one week to go before our show goes live, the acting, singing and choreography is good, some costumes have started being sorted but we've had no rehearsals with scenery or props. Some of the effects still haven't arrived such as flame projectors and pyrotechnics, we have no idea how we're getting half the props on or off the stage but hey it'll be allright on the night so they say!! Still, tickets are almost gone for all performances and the programmes at the printer at last so some good!

Anyway, enough whinging - here's Clarence with some clothes on!

Doesn't she scrub up well! What an incredibly smart looking ship.
