Well maybe I was a little harsh on the school yesterday, today they actually tried really well. I expected only a handful to turn up, but we had more than yesterday. Work wise they got to present one more lesson each and although not perfect by any means at least in the feedback sessions they were saying things like “right, I need to read the lesson plan!” and “I should have practised the song more first” which should help them out in the future. We didn’t end on the “we can do it on our own, we don’t need you anymore Richard” stage that usually happens after a three day workshop, but they improved and the war speech at the end ( which was cut the first time I was here due to a guy running round the school grounds with a knife!) got them thinking about bigger targets than they had before.

Now we’re off out for sushi.
