Arts Beyond the Classroom

A group blog for families to share experiences of culture in London.

Hello one and all...

Its been a long time,my broadband is down,im between providers,to many choices !!

 

I really enjoyed the meal at Lauriston. One of the ladies said "we have prepared a few dishes". Under- statement of the century. It was a banquet, Anita, Niah, Keon and I; sat at the end of the table we really did stuff our faces! I'm looking forward to your international cookery day!!

Before we stuffed our faces, we watched some of the clips that Eelyn n crew created. Really funny, im not sure they were meant to be funny, they were. I know Keon is sick of me saying it, me- to Keon "Keon do you know what that is made of?" Keon to me "Mum it's not funny anymore; it really was made of cardboard"......classic!!

After we stuffed our faces, the parents got together I really enjoyed the chat. I learnt a lot from the other mothers. It was lovely to hear about their experiences. I do think it would have been nice to do that at the start of the project....Then the children were interviewed alone...can't wait to see what they said!

Yesterday, we did our last bit of filming, it was a gorgeous day. Keon loves the filming and likes to learn about the technical side also. I will endeavour to find a course or workshop for him, who knows this project, may encourage him to make films!

As for me, I have loved the project, met some lovely people, had some fun and learned some stuff in the process.

As I like writing a blog, and I hate seeing myself on camera~ overweight I'm thinking about documenting my weight loss journey and boy what a journey I don't think there is a diet I don't know about....

I'd forgotten about the cardboard comment! Excellent! Thanks for reminding me - I may use it in school...just a little wind up every now and again!
thank you Alison for all your comments - glad the filming went well. And you're right about the food. Do you think we can beat them when it comes to OUR International evening?

"Going to the dance was a fantastic experience. My grandmother who was very formal and austere used to take me to the ballet and i absolutely hated it"
The dance workshop and Sadlers Wells by ivan and chrissie

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
