Once I dressed up as Hester Prynne from "The Scarlet Letter" and another time as one of the witches from Macbeth. I think some of my students thought the latter costume was quite appropriate for me:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-36352036419171222982012-03-06T12:47:23.153+00:002012-03-06T12:47:23.153+00:00I really really hope this idea is not introduced t...I really really hope this idea is not introduced to Ireland - here we just get these useless little vouchers for books my kids don't want....Looking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-33001929493978638192012-03-04T09:29:18.642+00:002012-03-04T09:29:18.642+00:00Mrs F hated Roman day in year 3 - then 40s evacuat...Mrs F hated Roman day in year 3 - then 40s evacuation day in year 6...

But there are three schools in the immediate vicinity and I didn't notice anyone in monkey tails, cat ears or bow ties. Didn't see anything in the media either....<br /><br />I was once in Barcelona for WBD and that was great fun.
