‘Is this a dream’
Today we took the first section of children out on an away day(grades 1,2 and 3). Firstly we took them to a science museum which was very hands on and the kids got very involved with all the activities. A highlight was going in the planetarium and looking above at the dome ceiling where a …
Freeza Sunday
Two great days of work over this weekend. Saturday we unloaded the container. In Southampton we live surrounded by them but how many of us actually know how much you can get in 1 if you fill every inch. When we opened it we could not believe it full to the brim, no tail lift, …

Daleo’s ramblings -Day 8
#tired (I think I ‘hash tagged’ correctly guys?’ A very long and tiring day today, after our relaxing day out yesterday we needed to make up for lost time. Following on from ‘fishgate’ which you can read about in other blogs here, we set off for another 8am start and off to PCF, where we …
Portia
IndescribableIt doesn’t matter how many pictures you look at or how many people’s blog’s you read, the real thing is nothing in comparison. Just walking through the corridor and people saying hi is enough to put a smile on your face even when you have a really bad day! They are all so happy and …
