It was the first performance of the Wreck of the Titanic last night.  Oh what a palaver getting there! Picking up the villagers en route to Southampton on a double decker bus, all seventy five of us, took time and we got caught in the rush hour traffic getting in to the city. Also the driver had to have a forty five minute break because of elf and safety, so it all took over four hours and some were looking a bit queasy on the bus. We were greeted by the sight and sound of a huge childrens orchestra (with stiffeners and conductor from Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra)  It all came together in the end and was very moving   Apparently there will be another big childrens orchestra in Cherburg when we go there in three weeks time. Amazing. 
We did Easter with the Infants on Wednesday. Many of them had never heard the story before. We made Easter gardens which was very messy with soil and twigs and moss all over the floor but they loved it.  So did I.
