The next school year

Lots of wonderful things planned for the next few weeks, lots of filming, a trip to Buckingham Palace and the butterfly Kingdom. Theatre trips to The Lion King and also other shows. Off to Roald Dahl museum and lots of art galleries.

Hampton Court House

Have just been for an interview and meeting with Hampton Court house. They are interested in starting part time or flexi learning for homeschoolers. It sounded very intriguing. Not sure if it is right but good to have options. All mothers are meeting to discuss this further.

Charity concert and swim

Isabellas riding teacher has had everything stolen, all her saddles etc. She wanted the children then to try and raise money to buy some new ones. So Isabella did a concert infront of 26 family and friends. She raised £300. This ma sounds like an easy thing for Isabella to do but she is incredibly shy when performing live. She gets very nervous so was a huge feat for her. She also raised money by taking part in a sponsored swim. She swam 4 big lengths (without any help).

Filming in Belfast

We have had lots of filming for Green Balloon Club over the past two weeks as well. Lily Roses garden and singing for two new songs. On Saturday we head off to Belfast for nine days of filming in Belfast zoo. The GBC team get to be zookeepers. Another amazing experience.

Adverts

Since we arrived back from America, Isabella has had three auditions for adverts. A dettol one, a hobbycraft one and today was an infomerical. She got the Dettol one, was recalled for Hobbcraft and we won't hear about the third one till later in the month. She has really come on in confidence though and you can see how the NYC course has really developed her personally.

The last few weeks

well, our feet have not touched the ground. NYC was fab, hot but amazing experience. Isabella met some wonderful people and has lots of new penfriends now. Each day consisted of us walking from 79th down to 43rd, she scootered and rollerbladed through central park. Then she started each day at 12 till 9pm. I hung around and used the internet or went shopping and Isabella made some lovely friends and met lots of agents. The parents also had classes to help with the industry. These were very useful.
Since we got back, Isabella has been on lots of fab courses. As I have said before due to Isabella not attending school, the holidays is when she meets friends on courses. Orleans House Gallery Art Course was wonderful. Gymnastics for the week was great and Sylvia Young theatre school was also fab. That consisted of lots of different classes.

Now it is tennis, there is another cute little boy called patrick and so him and Isabella are hanging out together.
