Once a term each class hosts an assembly where the boys put on a little show for the parents. Nicholas' class' theme was 'All about flowers'. It included some of their art, a bit of acting, some reciting of their own and famous poems and some singing. The song, boem-di-ala, has become one of my favourites ... especially when Nicholas sings it!
Every year Donhead has an Art Exhibition displaying some of the boys' work. This was Nick's class' display this year. They sewed fish and made hot air balloons out of tissue paper. Nicholas really enjoys doing anything arty and his teacher suggested that he joins the art club next year. He thinks it is a great idea because he will still see his year 1 teacher once per week!
One day Nicholas came home with this drawing. He used to draw beautifully before he started school but sadly doesn't have much time for drawing any more. I was really impressed with his elephant. He also brought home an impressive solar system a few months ago. I love all the detail like the colour and size of the planets and the number of moons each one has. He really does have an eye for detail!
You may remember my post about Danny's school's art auction. Nicholas' school did a similar thing at the end of the year summer party. Nick's class did butterflies (he is pointing out his orange and yellow butterfly). It went for £350, crazy you might think, but some of the others hit the four digits. Ssshhh in my opinion the Ursuline paintings were much better!
