Women's World Day of Prayer

The first Friday in March is always Women's World Day of Prayer, and local churches take turns to host the service. This year it was prepared by the Christian women of France. I always take our school choir to lead the singing and be readers; the girls and I love it, and we enjoy meeting the other ladies over tea and cake afterwards. We were at the Mission Church and St Mary's in Kennington, very close to School, with an inspiring sermon from a very charismatic Baptist Minister, Lola.

Next year, it will be Egypt.

Resolution.......

 

 

A few weeks ago, I was invited by Chidera, who was in my Form class, to her A Level Art and Design exhibition at the BRIT school. Here is a selection from her piece called Cleopatra, based on a Frank Ocean song.

 

Chidera is such a talented girl, I am so proud of her! She always won Art competitions at school and did all my posters! She deserves to be a great success.

This caught my eye too, I love Matryoshka dolls.

 



Love this one, like negatives.

 



Guests were invited to choose a Resolution to be printed on a ribbon. I choose these two, and hope to live up to them! So far this year, I have made at least one piece of  "art", or at least something creative every week, and have always striven to Seize the Day!

Happy Valentine's Day

 

 

 

 Hope you had a lovely day!

St Julie's Day: Marmalade and jewellery

We had a fab day on Friday for our celebration of St Julie's Day, fun, frolics and fundraising - almost £3000 in all, for water purification projects in the villages in Nigeria and Peru where our sister schools are. I made the usual marmalade, gone in 60 seconds!

And some re-fashioned jewellery. I forgot to photograph the first batch before handing it over to the children to sell, but here is the second lot of baubles and beads.



Jewellery upcycling

Mairead was clearing out her jewellery box and gave me these goodies to upcycle to sell for St Julie's Day on Friday, our mad crazy fundraising School Founders' Day. I'll take them apart and mix them up with some other beads and see what happens.

Show you later in the week.

Giveaway Winner!

We have a winner.........

Thanks to all who left a comment. Look out for another sweet giveaway soon..........
