Proud Mum

I am so enjoying the fact that our children have so many more varied opportunities now that they are at school in Kampala.

There have been some proud moments for me! I love going to watch my children taking part in school presentations or class assemblies.

I had fun watching Ben's class as they presented an assembly a couple of weeks ago based on the theme of overcoming fear with God's help. They did a wonderful, upbeat dance and they all looked like they were having lots of fun!

    

A few weeks ago, Esther and her class-mates invited parents to come and watch a History presentation in class.

 In pairs, the children had worked to create a power-point presentation that outlined their own ancient civilisations, based on historical information they had read about ancient Greece or Egypt. Esther and her student partner had even designed (and wore!) an outfit based on how they believed people may have dressed if they had lived long ago in their imagined civilisation!

To top it all, Heritage School put on an AMAZING performance last weekend, on both Friday and Saturday evenings, as they presented the musical of "Beauty and the Beast".

The whole show was so professionally executed. Along with every other spectator, I was most impressed with the young actresses and actors, with their dialogue, singing and dancing. The stage sets, the music, the lighting and the beautiful costumes and hair-styles were all so well done! It was FABULOUS!

Since volunteers were needed, I chipped in back-stage and had a fun time helping out with the stage make-up:

Esther had two small parts, as she played a villager and also took part in a dance as a candlestick at the Beast's castle. I was so proud as I watched her take part in this school production- at both of the evening performances, of course!

Getting ready for the final curtain call:

And the grande finale with all of the cast!! (In case you're trying to spot her, Esther is on the far left, 3rd row from the back, next to the tall white-wigged actress!)

What can I say?  It was AMAZING!!!
