Earlier this week we attended our very first 'nativity' performance at school. All the KS1 children at oldest's school banded together to perform a non-standard performance complete with a lot of singing.
As instructed by oldest we sat as close to the front as we could manage (and on the end of the row in case youngest needed a quick escape) and I am not sure that helped as he didn't want to stand and sing with the other children and he appear, for the majority of it, distracted and uninterested. Possibly a side effect of the end-of-term-itis that he currently has along with a cough and cold. To be very fair to the children there were a lot of coughing, sneezing and sniffing going on - the head even admitted that many children were poorly so others had taken on new roles and new lines and they had adapted brilliantly.
What I did note was that the Head was very clear about the taking of photos and videos - she was happy that people could but under no circumstances were they to be placed onto social media. I thought that was fair. Sadly she wasn't listened to, a letter has since come home reminding parents of this and asking for photos on social media are removed immediately. Both in the letter and verbally she reminded people that some children were considered to be vulnerable in that their location can not be public. It frustrates me that other parents are willing to jeopardise the safety of children just to publish a few photos on Facebook.
