A Rainbow of a Tale

Today was the annual Easter end-of-term show for James' pre-school, Little Rainbows. We had been busy this week making him an Easter hat for the competition. James did the decorating with glue, scissors and glitter pens and couldn't wait to wear it. I was so proud of him and our first attempt!

At 11.30 the audience was invited to see their show, "A Rainbow of a Tale". The play was written by the children, each contributing a couple of lines from stories they have heard at pre-school this term and from their imaginations. And there were some funny ideas in there! It was performed with excitement and lots of encouragement from the audience and their teachers! James was 'The handsome Prince' and bravely saved the Princess Charlotte from the hungry dragon. I took some video and it was difficult at times to keep the camera still, alternating between laughing, clapping and shouting "hurray!"

After the show the children sang "I'm a Spring Chicken", and the winners of the Easter Bonnet competition were announced. The line-up looked like Ascot on the first day! We weren't victorious but James happily kept his hat on for the rest of the morning and all the way home. He also had cards for his teachers and Easter eggs to hand out to all of his friends. We had a happy day!
