Smiles 280:365

Marching around the classroom teaching Year 5 the Alphabet rap today and I had a flashback to my first day at WCPS. The Head walked in to find me barefoot leading 30 children around the room chanting in Spanish. I recall him asking if he needed to remove his shoes to join in and replying that we were trying not to make too much noise!
Also had fun with the oddly named GIMP editing or 'playing with' photos as the children put it.


And, having learned about the bell, the pipe, the valves and the mouthpiece, Year 4 and I were finally let loose on the cornets today. The looks of amazement as we heard our first notes were brilliant!
The kids took their cornets home- I've just got a mouthpiece!
