After-School Larks

Today, Master H performed in his first sharing assembly. Fresh into reception class, the youngsters did their piece in front of the whole school and parents of said class (apart from those working, on holiday in Italy or otherwise engaged of course).

Master H was not looking forward to the event one little bit, to the extent that he insisted a number of times on the way to school that he was too tired to go in (unheard of) and then wouldn't let go of me outside the class. Reluctantly, I let the teaching assistant wrench him away and off he went, quite alright once in class as I suspected (and discovered later). Dad was nonetheless somewhat anxious of course...

So by way of a reward for his knuckling down and getting on with it, ice cream was in order in the late September after-school sunshine, sibling in tow. I'm not certain what the expression on his face is saying... :-)
