Bradley has a school project about weather that he has to deliver tomorrow. It involves a poster and a 2-5 minute speech on a weather topic that he picked out of a hat. The topic he got was Heatwave… not the easiest topic for a 9 year old cos the reasons why there are heatwaves are so technical!
Anyway, he’s done well with it 
And as for the timing… with all the talk and news about Hurricane Sandy right now ,a lot of kids speeches should have been so easy to do!! It worked for us as well though, because all the warning and crisis websites were working real-time today and easy to use to explain how the public get warned about safety issues.
In my other news today… so VERY exciting that I can finally tell you about it!!
One of the images I submitted in May 2012 to aday.org was one of the 1000 chosen for the book called “A Day in the World”. The book has just been published, and I’m thrilled that my photo of my kids has been included in it! The photo is the second one on this linked blog post
I cannot WAIT to get my copy of the book
Oh and also exciting… I just got a phone call from the aday.org guys, and they’re going to be on the Expresso show tomorrow morning discussing the few South African images that were included in the book!! I’ll have to PVR it I think so that the boys can watch
Congratulations on the pic. Such a great achievement and so nice to be recognised for all your hard work you put in behind the lense. Great pic of the boys too, not surprised it got chosen
Wow! Congrats on the inclusion of the image in the book! And how fab for the kids too! What a great memory to have!
Ewan got ‘clouds’ as his weather theme. Also pretty complicated when we first started researching the topic but then again Geography was never my strong point – luckily Nick studied it at Uni! I left Ewan to do most of the work himself and just edited his speech a bit and he did well with it! Good luck to both our boys today!
PS I had the same thought about Hurricane Sandy & the speeches
Super huge congrats on being included in the book!
You know I think you are amazing as is the inclusion in the book. Love the pic of Bradley and hope all goes well with his project.
Whoo hoo awesomeness !!!! So proud of you my girl !!
Saw this last night, but as I commented we had a power failure !!
That’s great. Congrats. Love that picture of the boys and I can see why it would make it into the book. It shows we don’t live on trees in Africa (as some people think), and our kids enjoy the same things many of their age mates enjoy around the world
Hope B’s project and speech went well?
