Simon's half of the school and Benjy's half of the school had their concerts on Monday and Tuesday evenings last week. I was quite moved to see our boys up on stage with their friends, because this is exactly the kind of experience we hoped they would get this year. Homeschooling has some advantages, but being able to put on a concert with so many other children, classmates who they know so well, isn't something they will be doing in Benin. And I don't think it is something they would have chosen to do - another advantage of mainstream schooling!
Simon even said a line into the microphone to introduce one of the songs in his concert. It's probably a good thing Benjy didn't have to, as he looked quite stagestruck when the curtains first opened, and didn't really looked relaxed until the last line of the last song!
Here is a photo - I have blurred it since you shouldn't put recognisable photos of other people's kids up on the internet, but you get the idea! Benjy is the one in the middle at the front with a yellow T-shirt and beige trousers.
