Year 6 farewell disco for DD

[arieliwish]

Hi Guys,

Had a final farewell disco tonight for DD (11) and her year 6/7 pals before they start 'big' school next week. Our primary school is in our village and kids from a neighbouring village attend it too. However, when they get to senior level our village kids go off to one big school and the other village kids go to another - stupid after 7 years together, apparently the catchment cut off is the A19 and we're one side of it and they're at the other side!

Her friends mum and I planned this before they finished school as there's only 19 of them in the year group they've all been quite close. 4 of them couldn't attend due to holidays, but the others have had a great time, the highlight being a chocolate fountain we managed to borrow - fantastic!!! Would say its too much hassle for a quick choc fix at home (easier to melt it in microwave!) but well worth it for a party or special occassion.

So I suppose I officially have a year 7 girl now, its passed far too quickly. Have to get uniforms and PE kit sorted before wednesday for her.

The only real obstacle is getting DS 8 to school on tuesday when DD gets an extra lie in!!

Sparks will fly...

Piccies - now that's a sore subject! DD did her best with the video camera, including lots of close up shots of herself with running commentary(!) but DH was in charge of the camera and took a grand total of 0 pictures! MEN!!

I was in the kitchen preparing/tidying/washing up, etc. so thought he would be around the hall with camera in hand - no it was on a window ledge!!

I must also point out the boys were mostly outside playing football, and the girls inside gossiping and dancing - nothing changes really does it!
