Blogger is not a happy chappy

Im sitting at the computer, the lab is filled with Grade 6 pupils playing Chicken Invaders (think Galaga ....but with Chickens) Yes i know the lab should be "game free...but really, thats like telling the iphone interface that it cant be sexy'.
hmmm perhaps i need to get out of the lab for a while?
I have been trying to upload some video i shot of the Water Festival but for reasons too mundane to state the blogger page wont show the link toolbar.
So i have been forced to play with Animoto and Moblyng (two cute little online photo manipulation and presentation software that i came across in Classroom 2.0)
Hopefully i can upload some to the blog without having to go through blogger, but it is still a pain not having the post page as it should be.
I apologise if you read this, it has nothing of merit for others other than an opportuinity to do some distance Sigmunding on my state of mind.
Whatever makes you smile.
I will return when i have more to say.

UN Day at NISC

We had our recent UN day which proved to be both a success and interetsing to see how the dominant cultural groups presented their own culture to the school.

Some very cute kids in national dress, the Korean Hanbok has to be a winner with the Pre K Korean kids almost unable to move in it.

There was a parade behind each of the countries flags and it ended with a cpl of representitives from each nation going onto the stage and saying hello in their countries language.

Damn Kiwis, left me in the lurch to say Kia ora and so forth....apparently the sound system was iffy and the kids at the back couldnt understand me.'

"What do you mean we kiwisslurandrunallourwordstogether" hmmm
