Oliver – Tues 26th April 2016
By Jeannette | April 26, 2016
We are proud parents tonight, mega proud.
We’ve just come back from watching a school performance of Oliver in D’s SN school and could not be prouder of D and everyone who took part. They all sang and acted their little socks off. Imagine being up on stage anyway, feeling anxious and nervous, now throw a disability into that and you start to appreciate just what a huuuuuge event tonight was.
Our D, who couldn’t even go into the hall in mainstream school, spoke her narrated words beautifully, even saying at one point “I don’t need a script, I know the words” and joined in with the singing and actions.
We sat near to where she was at the far side, it meant that we didn’t have a great view of the stage but we were always in her sight and that was important. She spoke, she sang, she gave us thumbs up and blew kisses. One very happy D.
Just wonderful. I could gush on for longer but the performance by everyone was fab.
And I get to see it all again on Thursday.
