Thank you to all the mums, dads and grandmas who helped out on Saturday at the May Ball. As always, your help is always appreciated and never taken for granted.
The children had a wonderful time. The venue was fab and so was the entertainer. I do have his card if you are interested; he really was very good indeed.
The star prize for the raffle was a chocolate fountain. Well done to that child but I don't envy the poor mum who has to clear up the mess afterwards. I've done it myself and it's very messy indeed. My advice is to do it naked and have a bath ready to jump into. The kids, obviously, not you!
Personally, I thought the May Ball works better than the christmas party, as there is already so much going on at christmas that it's nice to leave a party until a bit later, give the children something to look forward to. Also the PA are so hectic at christmas that it just lightens the load a little. I also thought it went on half an hour too long. What do you think? I would be interested to hear your thoughts on both aspects.
I am also chuffed that Mr & Mrs Carn and Mr Gladwin came. It does show unity amongst the children, teachers and parents. I'm looking forward to the photographs.
Bye for now!

All the Children had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Another great Heathcote day.
ReplyDeleteI see you comment that this could be an alternative to the Christmas disco. The disco was originally introduced to allow Parents an opportunity to get those last presents or to secretly collect presents without the children around.
If that service is no longer needed but you want to do something with the children when, admittedly, they are already as high as kites perhaps a magician at a parents venue would be less stressful for all concerned and need less helpers.
But, well done.
