Class moms and other responsibilities

So this year I've again signed up to be class mom for S class. Thought about it and why not. Gives me a good opportunity to be more involved in what S is doing at school. So last week was all about coffee mornings (got to hear some good gossip) and emails asking parents to share information about themselves. I found it really strange that the teacher itself did not have the email id of one of the parents- the nanny drops and picks up the child from school and the nanny only speaks Greek and Russian. The only way i could communicate with the parent was to put a note into the child's bag to which i did not get a reply of course!
This week was more of the fun stuff. I did cooking with the class along with one of the other moms. We had originally planned to make pizza- the other mom being Italian and me not contributing any ideas of my own on cooking but in the last minute we decided to go for something more healthy and made cracker -fruit faces. The recipe - round rice crackers, vanilla yoghurt to smear the cracker with (honey instead if any of the kids are milk intolerant), berries for the eyes, chocolate buttons for the nose, apple slice for the mouth/ squeezed honey for the mouth and strawberries for the ears.
Lots of fun for the kids to make, much licking of the vanilla yoghurt from the box, and eating of the chocolate buttons but each kid was enthu to make 2 at least, and they got to eat it in their snack time. S told me she ate only 1, i wonder what happened to all the remaining ones!!
