First of all - a quick note to parents of our students: please check your emails as I have sent you a message asking for your permission to take the kids on a special excursion. Please reply as soon as possible.
Today was the first official day of judging. Unfortunately delegates/chaperones don't get to go into the exhibition hall, so we weren't able to see the kids at their project, however, Nicole snuck upstairs to a vantage point at a window to get a really cool aerial view of the judges at all the projects (see above). In speaking to all our kids when they returned, they all seemed very happy and felt that it had gone really well.
This evening we were treated to even more entertainment. This was the first night of "Canada's Got Talent" where students at the fair get to show off their special skills. The ones that performed were very brave, amazing and talented! Even the Aussies strutted their stuff in a "way cool" dance number that had everyone whooping and hollering. It was really fun. We then were invited to a "Kitchen Ceilidh" with an amazing fiddler, a "pipes" player, guitarists, and Celtic dancers. It was fun, but unfortunately we were all so exhausted from the day many of us were finding it hard to keep our eyes open despite the totally toe-tapping tunes. We are now back at our residence and ready for bed - tomorrow is another busy judging day for students!
