Space Academy Day 4

Dress Up Day [and Barbecue Evening] Bob decided to be James T Kirk. I think he looks more like Kurt Wallander!

But he and Spock make a great pair [Spock aka Ian, who is in the Space Band, and wrote one of the songs we are using this week] These two, with weird wig, ears and eyebrows are quite amazing.

Great costumes all round

And wonderful crafts too

And fun games like pass the crown. Bob is clearly only able to wear one thing at a time on his head – spot the wig on the music stand.

My astronaut outfit is a pukka Space Race Cap from the National Space Centre, worn with disposable decorators’ overalls from the Poundshop! I used my embroidery machine to produce a couple of NASA badges which I sewed on.

My costume ripped down the leg at around 11am – but I was wearing my running top and shorts underneath [the woven paper is very thin]

Back shortly to set up for the BBQ – we have just oden the Cash’n’Carry shop for burgers etc. As usual, the staff have made superb displays of the children’s work.

I appealed in church for broken bits of jewellery – and folk were as generous as ever, so this morning the groups loved blinging up their golden crowns [from Hobbycraft Sale]

Must go – there are bread rolls to be sliced…
