This was a lovely idea for an activity, and earlier on we had clear, cold skies and the promise of a good night's twinkle viewing. But then it clouded over and started to drizzle so that put paid to that. But all was not lost - earlier on I did some stargazing of a different kind as Tall Small stood up in front of the whole of Key Stage 2 to talk about her pet hamster. Each week, one of the children in Years 5 and 6 talks for 10 minutes on a subject of their choice, to help them practice their presentation skills, but usually it's only in front of their class. She did brilliantly - I was proud of her, her teacher was proud of her and more importantly, she was very proud of herself. Hurrah! Confidence boosted, we hope!
how brilliant, well done tall small!!!

ReplyDeleteOh very well done Tall Small.
ReplyDeleteOh I would have wept with pride for Tall Small! Sorry about the cloud covered twinkles. I love love your advent calendar idea!
ReplyDeleteHow very brave of Miss Tall Small! I still hyperventilate at the thought of public speaking -- which I think is a group larger than two people ;).
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
