July 2012 Calum's Projects

Calum has been taking recorder lessons all year and is slowly getting the hang of it. He recently took a music test and was awarded the copper award for playing. Bronze, silver and gold may yet follow.

Last Saturday (14th) we made a doll from an old glove. He'd seen it done on Blue Peter and we gave it a shot. Truth be told, mum & dad did most of the sewing, but Calum gave a hand and designed a 'robot' doll.

And of course at the end of the school year is the annual sports day. Calum's event was touch and go because of the very wet weather we have been having lately: it was cancelled once and was provisionally scheduled for September is no suitably dry day occured. As it happened, the 17th was good and dry and they were able to put it on. Calum's school house 'Mars' was the aggregate total for the day. And everyone got a medal...
