Open Day 2008

I didn't stay as long this year, but I did turn up (actually I had to anyway, I was giving out maps and prize draw forms from 4-5pm). I decided to try taking some video footage this time, with our new point-and-shoot camera, after being inspired by a recent Flickr Blog post. I even took it on one of the rides! I'm quite impressed by the way the fireworks came out.

Open Day 2007

Well yesterday was Open Day. I was surprised at the number of people who came. Even some of my students who left to attend other schools during the year! Obviously this is quite a community event.

I'd love to post some photos, but unfortunately the only ones I have are of some of my students.

I climbed the climbing tower! Well, I didn't quite make it all the way to the top. You get about three quarters of the way up and then suddenly it's like, I have to put my foot where? It was not a question of strength, but of inexperience with knowing how to get from here to there. Two of my smallest students were also the best climbers: up they shot like little monkeys, ring the bell, even turning around and waving, and hanging off the wall facing out.

The fireworks at the end were pretty impressive.
