Hellllllooooooo

I'm getting ready for Christmas already. Well, we're sorting out the play at school and I've had this excellent website pointed out to me. The idea is that kiddies can sing along to the backing tracks, which is great when you can't play piano. I know the bloke who's set it up and he can take requests. I've requested Little Donkey and it should be up on the site soon.

I should also tell you about my ex-husbands site. Good for nice pressies and stuff. I've seen the products and they're beautiful. He's the one who told me about the music site.

So yes, we're sorting out the play. Reception kiddies are not the best singers at the best of times. They alternate between mumbling and moving their lips around in a random fashion, to suddenly shouting out the two words that they do actually know. The girls are going to be angels and the boys are going to be clouds. The reason for this is that I have 16 boys, who are very boyish. I didn't fancy my chances of attaching little lacy wings to them and getting them to agree to getting up on stage. I don't acre what people say, boys and girls are quite different in the way they generally behave. The boys are full of energy and bash everything. They shout and run around and need to have lots of space. This book is supposed to be very good. The play is lovely to do but I always seem to end up stressed with a wonderful tension headache after each practice. Anyway, I should go and get on with my planning...
