Happy Easter to all.

I had a frantic and demanding last few weeks of term in school. This left me particularly drained physically and emotionally and thus the break in blogging. However, I did manage to achieve a fair few things in that time.

I did sing with the band in school and performed “Before I Fall to Pieces” by Razorlight at the Spring Term Concert. It went really well and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I had my hair and goatee shaved off by some pupils to raise money for charity. This happened the day after the concert and was quite the hit in school. I am now clean shaven and without a goatee for the first time in seven years! I am now getting used to not having facial hair and may just keep it for a while.

We had the school Holy Week Service in which I gave the homily and I asked the band and music group to perform “Lean on me”. Their performance was excellent and helped me get the message of my homily across really well. That was to turn to Jesus to help us carry out burdens and crosses.

And finally we have had the Easter Holidays. I went to the usual church services, the morning mass on Easter Sunday was one of the best I have been to in years. I also visited both London Zoo, and the London Wetlands Centre, the photos from these can be found on my Flikr page.

I am now putting the final touches to my joint class project with Simon’s class in Canada. This can be found at the Flatplanet wikispace and on the Flatplanetproject blog.

I hope to start blogging regularly now and will be keeping you posted on how the joint class project goes.
