The theme this year is "Dinosaurs fighting Robots", inspired by recently released films such as "Pacific Rim" and "Jurassic Park 3D". I decided to be a dinosaur and set myself the task of creating a full-sized head to wear. Starting with various cardboard boxes, I joined them together, covered them in brown paper and added "hair", horns, antennae, teeth and eyes. I'm quite pleased with the final result, though how long it will last is anybody's guess with hundreds of kids dressed as robots wanting to "fight" me. And there is the added danger of not being able to see where I'm going, in a school with lots of steep steps...
Anyhow, the effort has been made and, once the weekend is over, I can look forward to 6 weeks of uninterrupted, normal, educational lessons (until Christmas, at least!). I must be getting old!
