School holiday non-holidays

Often school holidays are the worst time of the year for the girls, as all their fun activities stop.  But this time we had a fairly busy "holiday":

Two weeks ago, in week one of the holiday, both Mulan and Miya attended a four-day ballet show workshop.  This is for a production of Romeo and Juliet, which will have its performances in mid-September.

Following the workshop, every Sunday until the performance the girls will attend rehearsals.

From the sounds of things it's a fairly high level production.  Last Sunday, the TVNZ news crew were there at the rehearsal, filming and interviewing those involved.  Apparently it's going to be on the TV1 news sometime soon.

Next up, on the Saturday and Sunday Mulan attended a two-day athletics training event put on by Aspire Academy (if you click the link you'll see a photo of the 2020 event, with both Mulan and Miya).

This time the focus was on pole vault, and Mulan had some good training sessions trying out pole vaulting for the first time.  I'm very jealous -- it looks heaps of fun and I've never tried it before!

And then last week Mulan attended a four-day ballet seminar at Auckland Academy of Dance, preparing her for the Advanced Foundation exam coming up soon.

Then there was gymnastics class and contemporary dance class thrown in, meaning that there weren't many empty days.
