Scallops- check; Peterpan- check; polka dots- check; Olive oil- check????

Last year, I went to Nottingham for a wedding. In between getting from Nottingham, Catholic cathedral and Nottingham castle for the reception, I noticed that there was a vintage fair happening in an adjacent building to the church. CBC had to go and find the car and bring to the hotel and check in so I wondered if could make a brief trip into the fair without anyone noticing. 10 minutes saw me in and out with two dresses! Both were unfortunately summer dresses so I haven't had much chance to wear them until now but I've been biding my time. I'm not sure how vintage they are (if indeed they are- you never know)- but I loved the pin-polka dots and cute Peter Pan collar with scalloped sleeves- three sure favourite blogger-things!


 CBC has recently refused to take blog photos for me, saying I shouldn't put so many pics of me on the internet. He's probably right. However, he agreed to take some shots in the awkward light, provided I was willing to pose with props. Ah, what? An olive tree which I have inherited from Grandad's garden and two containers of olive oil like I am the Bertoli girl! So, I felt like a prize twit but at least I didn't have to risk the camera on the wonky picnic table!

 I think this would be a great outfit for school- cool for the summer but still quite demure. It's really nice wearing summer dresses to school each and every day.

Today at school, we had the most incredible display of Extreme Biking! We had the current UK no.1 BMX trick champion and an amazing Track cyclist come in and give an amazing 45 minute show to the children as part of Health Week.  It was incredible! Truly amazing and inspiring.  We also had the hilarious Road Safety show in this morning who filled another 45 minutes.  There's all sorts of events on this week for the kids and it's very exciting! On Friday we have a staff v Year 6 netball match which I am very excited about though maybe I was a bit stupid to arrange a lesson observation for the same day.  We have one every term and I want mine over and done with! Plus, I'm doing a 'whole class participation lesson' on Friday and I don't know if I have done one of those with older children in a lesson before. Usually it's whole class input then group work so I will be intrigued to see what feedback I get as I've not been observed on doing the whole class all together for the whole hour. In addition, I am teaching the observer's own class so that will also be an interesting experiment!

Hope you are well x
