This song (Vuvuzela Song) is the highlight for me of the World Cup so far (apart from the banners of course!). I totally was laughing out loud first time I heard it and have listened to it so many times since - sometimes even on repeat!
(I originally found the song with lyrics (having been the song by a friend) on this website, but the embed code there didn't seem to work, so I found it on youtube instead)
So... we made it through the group - woop! I got confirmation from SLT at lunchtime that the staff meeting was on after school - doom! There was some earlier excitement in the day when we discovered the classes we would be having the following year - I'm Year 2 again phewff!
So, i headed to the staff meeting, somewhat late having been talking to a parent. Our staff meetings rotate around each classroom, which I really like, otherwise I don't think I would have been in many classrooms! So the teacher's classroom we were in yesterday, one of my friends, had got a live text loading up on the IWB behind the head. That's a tense way to watch a match! When I got there, it was already 1-0 to England!!!! Go Defoe. Have just changed the post title from the rather boring: World Cup 2010 end of Group Stage! - to this great newspaper headline from today. I wonder if there are always so many fouls committed by England or if that is just the sort of thing that gets written in minute by minute reports... certainly stressful each time one came up and it said free kick conceded and wondering where on the pitch the free kick was!
Meeting finished about half term. I went to get my home things and finished watching the match live on iplayer in his classroom - complete with the cheesy football snacks and flashing hat - thoughtfully sweated in by a boy in my class who I'd let wear it at lunchtime! Tense stuff but good result! And amazing peculiar heading dive from Terry.
Match over, we went for an epic report reading session, checking for errors before handing them in. Think we left about 7.30 in the end. I had fairly lost it by that point and was in a serious giggle fest state. Seemingly every other comment on the reports was sending me into hysterics. For one of the only times in my life, I was really fancying a drink - an alcoholic one! So back home we went to the pub for food and watched the Germany v Ghana match.
Walking back from the pub it seemed a good idea to try copy the jogger in front of us and try climb onto the bridge!!
So we play Germany on Sunday... Not sure what that'll be like, but for this day at least it was Good Times all round for me :-)
