This week’s activities
22 May, 2011 | By Goldie Alexander
I’ve been busy.
Tuesday was the third session with my lovely seniors from U3A who are writing their life stories.
Thursday I drove for what seemed like the entire length of Melbourne to Highvale Primary to talk to the children. We managed a small launch for ‘Space Footy and Other Stories’ as a few copies turned up the previous day. I was extra lucky in that the choir had performed for ‘education week’ in the local mall. So when they returned I asked them to sing for me and they certainly did. It was lovely. The school itself is everything a school might hope to be, with a lovely green environment, a wonderful principal, caring teachers and a delightful mix of children from different ethnicities.
Saturday was a whole day workshop at Moorabbin Tafe with 8 professionals(a paediatrician, several accountants, a chef, a retired advertising exec, a high school teacher etc. etc.) A fabulous group.
Here is some of the info I handed out at the opening of the session and it might be a help for other beginners to consider:
