A day full of fun

Today.... at Caerphilly home ed group. I was well enough to make this one HURRAH!
The kids all really enjoyed themselves. The Hall itself was a big hit with everyone. It has the luxury of three different areas so nobody is on top of each other, Loads of space to run around, even when weather is bad, A stage ( which hosted an impromptu surealist concert with Old Macdonald in sudden death shocker!) and a seperate space which housed the playstation ( at one end) and kitchen with drinks and snacks at the other.
There was something for everyone, The Diwali 'Diya' making and colouring was a hit and more craft stuff is now planned ,with Glass painting and Christmas cards in a fortnight.
The stage sparked an idea for some script writing from Sophie and her new friend C who said he would be really 'into' writing some scripts for a play, producing and 'directing' a loose term if todays improvisations were anything to go by!! Neil and I decided that there was everything in there from Python to Izzard to the Brothers Grimm and everything in between!
The playstation was unobtrusive in the corner , shared at some times with lots of people, mainly boys but most of the time Connor,J and G sharing their love of playstation and their games, strategies etc

After Connors swimming lesson we headed off to the Wales Millenium Centre for STOMP! It was fantastic and a great follow on from slavas snowshow and the clowning workshop as the show featured clowning very heavily. It was loads of fun with lots of audience participation, stamping, claping, clicking, cheering and laughter.The cast also used masses of household objects as props..., everything from dustbins to road signs... I will be hiding my broom and cordoning off the kitchen sink tomorrow morning!

Connor and Sophie left the theatre banging everything they could find and realised the staircase cladding was quite effective, especially given the acoustics of the foyer and were soon joined by a large group of teens assembled below, much to the annoyance of the theatre staff!

I think I might be in need of a trip to the chemist for some headache tablets!
