Private View/ concert went briliantly this morning – so glad the weather was perfect for it. Both schools of children arrived at the site at from different ends of the park with lots of parents too.
The wonderful drum facilitator Simon Stokes did an amazing job – we had decided to have a ceremony to wake up the flowers. This involved some of the children drumming, some with insect noises and some with tubes to bash together. At a given sign the children with the tubes ran down to the tree circle to start blowing up the Fruitflowers. Fabulous chaos insued. A couple of fruitflowers popped but quite a lot made good noises and the children were transfixed looking up into the trees to see which flower they were inflating. As they pumped up the flowers the drumming continued with children swapping to drum and blow flowers. It was magical.
Here are a few pictures – there are so many that I may be forced to make multiple postings today……
