Disco 2013

Oh yes, it’s that time again! Bury Village school is having  a DISCO!!! This time, the theme is “Famous people”.  Weeks before the dance, Katya and her friend Qugao (pronounced 

Chigao) decided that they wanted to be Ginny and Cho Chang from Harry Potter. They were determined to make their costumes themselves.  So that’s what they did—they sewed their robes and made their ties.

Originally, Alex was hoping to be this famous seismologist, Costas Synalakis.  But later he realized that most 7 year old wouldn’t have a clue who that guy is.  So THE NIGHT BEFORE the disco, Alex changed his mind and decided to be Harry Potter.  After a few emails to friends, I was able to locate a Harry Potter robe, and all was well.

Qugao came to our house after school and played for a while with Katya. Because she lives 20 min drive from the school, her parents usually did not drive her home after school and then back to the dance. So this time I offered to keep Qugao so she could actually go to the dance with Katya. She is such a polite guest! She enthusiastically ate my green Kale and Potato soup and never argued with Katya-haha.

We had to take a couple of pictures before they left (they kept asking me every ten minutes when it would be time to go finally).

“STUPEFY!”

Oh yes, they had a lot of fun at the dance!

I do like this tradition of primary school kids having dances. I always loved those when I was younger. Although, this school’s choice of music definitely needs to be reviewed…but that’s another story.

Lyana.
