Today all the unaccompanied asylum seeking kids at my school - most of whom I teach or help out in lessons - had a party with mince pies and FATHER CHRISTMAS. They were all trying very hard to be Cool and Grown Up, but dude, the grinning.

I'm still beaming myself, actually, and there are loads of photos of me looking awkward but delighted as my students squish me mercilessly.

Good day.

And now I have to go make myself presentable for the staff shindig tonight, too. I'm really starting to worry about when I'm going to get any laundry done before I go to Wales-London-Southampton...

EEEEE! I love when older kids are all secretly gleeful about Father Christmas. \o/

They were all like 'I am too cool and teenage for this crap BUT YES I WOULD LIKE A PHOTO WITH SANTA!'

XD

When are you in Wales, Nnyface? I get back into Cardiff on Monday. :DDDD

That's when I'm leaving, I'm sorry! I have to get back early in the morning so I can do some beta stuff and finish sorting Christmas presents before going to London. :)

DDDD:

I was meant to be getting in Sunday lunchtime, but the only train out of Paris that I could afford was Sunday evening. We'll probably, like, cross over at the train station or something.

Yesterday one of our favourite teachers brought her kids over the from the PRU over the road and made them sing We Wish You A Merry Christmas to us! They were adorable and funny and, after a stiff start, actually got into the swing of it. *hearts*
