School visit
Monday June

My first presentation in a school.. and in my
daughter's class! |

The kids were very attentive, as were some from
other classes.. |

Shiny stuff!! |

Who goes first? |

Wow.. |

Is it real? |

Still a bit large. |
My
kids now regularly accompany me to the tower and on
Museum visits, so it was not surprising they asked me to
to 'appear' in their classrooms. My daughter's teacher
thought it a very good idea, too, so I geared up and
drove to the Catholic Heilige Family (Sacred Family)
School on a very hot Monday afternoon. My arrival stirred
up quite a bit of interest from all the other classes,
and lots of kids came round and asked what I was doing.

I can't feel that! |

That's a purse.. |

..and that a hat. |

Really sharp knife, no touching! |

And what's that, sir? |

All in all they were very interested. |
After
exiting the kids (4 to 6 years old) in my son's class, I
went over to my daughters' group (8 years old) for a more
serious presentation. I never did something like this for
a group so young (apart from the kids visiting us at
events of course, so this proved a bit of new ground.
Would they even be interested, growing up as they are now
with Nintendo and a miriad of television series? But it
worked out fine. Some were awed, some shy, some extremely
inquisitive. All in all (besides my daughter, beaming
with pride of course) it was a very nice experience.
