My school entred a foreign language competition, where they had to perform something in their chosen language. I wrote a play about the story of the Great Fire of London, which ended with the song London's Burning, and then from about mid October till February we spent one lesson a week practicing the lines, learning the song, and rehearsing it all. It was sometimes the most stressful lesson of the week, and I was quite glad once it was filmed and we sent it off, I presumed that would be the last I'd have to think about it!
However, I am proud to announce that our school WON the competition, and we have been invited to the awards ceremony. Awards ceremony is probably a bit of a loose translation, for a competition which I imagine only had one entry (...I'm still in shock that we won, if I'm honest) but I'm excited anyway. As scriptwriter, co-producer, co-director and co-English trainer, I hope I'm allowed to take some of the credit, though of course it's the kids who are on film who did most of the work.
And of course, in true awards ceremony style, I'd like to thank my mum, for sending me a poem about London's Burning, and the internet, for helping me research, and so on, and so on... I hope I don't actually have to give a speech!
But yeah, next stop Hollywood, I assume.
