The final details are almost sorted and departure is getting scarily close! We had another meeting today to sort out some of the last minute important stuff, like flight check-in times, tickets, transfers, insurance and who's taking the teabags. (Got to be PG!) Might sneak in a couple of emergency choccy bars too, just in case we get any delays.
It's been an interesting week, as we get ready for the off, with several classes producing some fantastic drawings of Tudor buildings in Ashby, and Reception performing three absolutely brilliant nursery rhymes, while a couple of year six children did a video of them. It is now being edited, ready to put on a disc to take with us.
A colleague also gave me a nice book on speaking Mandarin, with a cd that allows you to check your pronunciation. Miss Butler has been heard wandering around school trying different words out, but from what her class have told me, she needs more practice!
Here's a picture of the famous four:
