With little more than a week to go before the school shuts down for summer and the young people get to run free like little bunny rabbits through a field of daisys, you can feel a buzz of anticipation in the air. The countdown is on, plans are being made and students have already left us for the last time after completing their GCSE's. This, however, results in a bit of excitement, and downright bloody chaos...
Adam came to the project for his weekly session this morning; we successfully filmed another of his superb performances as he sang 'The Flood' by Take That to a backing track. This will join a collection of similar videos that we are putting up on a Youtube page we developed for him, where he can show off to anyone across the world what he can do in a safe environment that we look after. He is really excited about it and it has been a pleasure working with him. He has a vast knowledge of bands, musicians, and Monty Python, and we look forward to seeing him perform live at our next student concert at the end of term.
The Piano room, (a room that sounds much more sophisticated than it actually is, darling) is shaping up nicely as Lyn, a teacher of the school, and a dedicated team of students take to the walls with paint brushes and decorate it in murals and the occasional obscenity. Pictures to follow.
Trev and Lewis were ousted at the canal as Mel topped their fish count of two by an extra eleven! He's all line, no bait...
Michele taught Jack, Matt, James and myself how to play Black Jack - this wasn't so successful...it's awkward telling teenagers losing interest in the game, "It's much more interesting if you bet with money..."
All this with an added flavour of pandemonium in the air made for a jolly good show.
