Happy 2010!!
I hope you all managed to find fun ways to celebrate ringing in the new decade! I had such a great month in December with my students as there was so
much going on in the way of holiday celebrations. The primary students at St. Peter's performed a Nativity play, we had a "teacher's serve the students X-mas lunch", parties with cookie baking and decorating, and the teacher's performed a pantomime of Snow White for the entire school. Guess who was Snow White...me! I had a good time and it ended up snowing just before the break to make it feel even more festive! I flew home to Nova Scotia for a week to see my family and friends for Christmas which was fabulous but flew by way too quickly. I was back in London for New Year's Eve and spent the night of the 31st with friends at a boat party on the Thames! I got to see all the sights along the river lit up and then we stopped by the London Eye and Big Ben to watch the fireworks which were fantastic!! It was all very magical. I have settled back into the routines of school again and we are doing a fun all school unit on Space. I hope you all had a terrific break and are enjoying the first weeks of 2010! Have I told you about the views of beautiful sunrises I get from my kitchen window? I've included a pic of the pink morning sky!
