Now *that* is a castle cake, Boatie!
Ms T - his teacher liked it very much, although he's kind of set the bar very high for himself now because he went right to town on a previous homework set by her, too - to draw a scene from the Bayeux tapestry - by doing a stop motion Lego film of the battle of Hastings, with sounds effects. She played it four times in class and she told him she was going to show it to the head and on Monday when he went back to school he had a letter from the heads secretary requesting an audience with him on Thursday so that he can congratulate Fred on it.
Apparently there's also a still from it going up on the board outside the heads room aswell, which shows
'exemplary' bits of students work, hehe! *proud*
The downside of the whole cake business was really just that I'd ASSUMED he'd have to take it in (and he didn't tell me till too late that a picture would do)....so I bought literally the cheapest bits of cake I could find, lol. If I'd known that WE were going to have to eat it, I'd have spent a bit more.
My daughter's just started having packed lunches though, cos she won't tolerate the FREE school dinners...grrrrr (although tbf they are rank, apparently
) so I'm sticking a small slice in with that every day, but we've pretty much given up eating it at home and it'd take
weeks to get rid of it at the current rate, so I might just have to bite the bullet and chuck most of it in the bin (I HATE wasting food, but don't very often, so reckon I can justify it this time)....
Anyway - defo going for the pork pitta's tonight, although I might have to do a starter of some PSB, just because my Tesco delivery was over half an hour late so too late to cook any last night as planned and I think we all need a decent green veg dose!
