Hello all,
As you know last Saturday 26th June was RNIB College Celebration Day. It went really well. Esme came. She throulghry enjoyed it. We performed the song The Climb really well. However there was a big surprise in store for me…I WON THE SKILLS FOR WORK AWARD! My friend Charlotte won one as well, so it had two winners this year. These awards are for best work placement. These awards are little wooden sheilds with the RNIB logo on and a brass plate with our name engraved on. Me & Charlotte got one each to keep. Here is one similar to what I won.
My employers at work, Jill & Linda were very proud of me. Yesterday I took it in to show them. They took a photocopy of it, to show at a meeting today.
My family were also very proud of me. My Gran & Grandad gave my £50 as a reward. With some of that money, I brought an old hand-operated sewing machine. I wanted to buy one of these, because I used one in Art & Craft last year, to sew a cushion together.
Sadly tomorrow our librarian Susan Sutton leaves us! She’s going to be missed a lot. She’s been her for 13 years! 1997-2010 I don’t think our library will be the same without her! Because she’s leaving, I’m glad to also be leaving in a week! I don’t think I could cope for long without her! Goodbye Susan!!! XXX

On Sunday, Me, Mum & Dad and Esme went to see Katherine Jenkins in concert. It was wonderful. Katherine asked the audiance if they had any questions for her, to write them down and give them to the people at the side of the stage, and she’d read them out. I wrote a statement for her to read, but she never had time to read it out. So at the end of the show, a lady who’d been working backstage came up to me and said ” This is for you from Katherine.” She gave me a peice of paper with Katherine’s photo on signed by Katherine! My 4th autograph from her! Here is the photo she signed for me:
As the concert was two days away from Katherine’s 30th birthday, we all sang Happy Birthday to her.
Enjoy this reading, last ever blog next week! Craig XXX
