Peter Pan

Hi there everyone at Fish Hoek Primary School. I am so happy and honoured that I have grandshildren at the school, otherwise I would not have known about this absolutely wonderful production. The performance was really well done and the children should be proud of their efforts and results after a lot of hard work at practices and rehearsals. The costumes were lovely,I especially loved the vibrant colours of the Indian scene but it was the crocodile that won my heart completely. The skateboard was a brilliant method of movement and made it feel really sinister as it glided down the aisles and up onto the side of the pirate ship! Well done to Gail Beagly, I thought the script was fantastic. Bravo to all of you!
The Entrance foyer was very refreshing and got one into the mood of what was still to come. I am looking forward to the next production.
The power point projection on the screen in front of the stage was exceptionally well thought out and presented, as well as showing how each grade in the show were represented. Again thanks to Fiona Beal

Back in the classroom

Hi there Caitlin and Lyndall
It is such a pleasure to be part of this project and I love meeting more of Caitlin's classmates.
Of course we love the cookies etc that the children bake for tea!

Well I am pleased to say that this is the first time that I am getting down to writing in this blog since I was at the school last. I found the notes you gave us, Fiona, very simple and easy to follow. I have not really done anything very exciting but as is normal in my life, I have been doing some beading and walking regularly as well as catching up on various odd jobs around the house.

Next week on Friday when the schools breakup My husband and I as well as Caitlin's family and Gail's family and other friends of ours and theirs are travelling to Knysna where 3 of us ladies will stay for the week while the others of us who are more energetic and of course younger in most cases will be tackling the Tsitsikama Hiking trail. No doubt we will all be refreshed when we return.

On the family front, I have enjoyed watching both Sean and Caitlin playing their different sports whenever I have been able to.

This is it for the time being.

I loved being part of the Senior Citizens project with my granddaughter Cairai. Every week we had a feast with all the goodies the class baked. Now I have a blog! Here is a picture of Cairai and I when I was learning to blog. We desperately needed some help. The whole project was a wonderful thing for me.

Here is a poem about me!

Hello from Gramma

I have felt very priviledged to have been included in this blogging project at school with Cairai. It has helped me to learn more about computers . To have been working with Cairai and also with some of her friends is such fun. Getting to know her teachers and to meet up with Fiona after all these years is great. I think that these children are so lucky that they have such dynamic and enthusiastic people in their lives. The fact that they bake the goodies that we have with our tea is so fantastic. How many children have the chance to learn to cook when this is not even part of their school subjects? I am an avid baker, so this is very close to my heart. Another bonus is the fact that I get to interact with Cairai,during school time and that she has special time with me in another facit of her daily life. I always look forward to Thursdays.
