For ten years I used to sing in the Radio Community Chest choir's annual performances of Handel's Messiah. Love this flash mob rendition from Canada of the Hallelujah chorus.
Two weeks of term and the school year left to go. Along with another teacher, I am one of the organisers (Archangels) of our staff secret angel scheme which runs in the last week of school. Like the performance in the video, it's about changing the atmosphere (given that the peeps can be a tad tired in that last week), adding joy, creating fun. We've been doing that for over ten years, and enjoy facilitating the fun that ensues for all those who participate - and of course it spills over to the place generally, all good!
If you nag me enough I could put the details of how our secret angel scheme runs here...just don't have it by me right now.

PS. Have to show you our school library Christmas trees - all about books and kids! Sometime this week, I promise! We're busy with the annual stocktake, and have the Year 6 into 7 Orientation this week, and I don't know what all.
I called this blog Skerricks because it began as a gathering place for me for the bits and pieces (or skerricks) I wanted to record, remember and use in my work as a teacher librarian. Turns out it's useful for others as well. w00t!
