And the oscar goes to....

Archie Cripps for his rendition of a goose laying an egg.

Archie's class enacted the 12 days of Christmas; I spent a couple of frenzied hours running around Hong Kong collecting bits of orange felt, feathers and dye. Sofia tracked down shops in Wanchai where you could get knock off crocs and cheap swimming caps and so we were all set. Archie has obviously inherited Tricia's dancing skills as he had a rather nifty duck-shuffle-jive which got him a standing ovation.

Billy's class play was rather more adventurous and involved dressing up as a tribal warrior, from the results, you can see I had NOTHING to do with it, (it's brilliant) and they learnt a few carols in Swahili which will doubtless stand him in great stead when we get back to Chiswick.

All good fun and just one week of school to go before we can all collapse.
