Reflection on first meeting

Been five days since first meeting. Still processing it, even now.

I think it went well. 11 of the 12 children arrived all with their money. 11 beautiful apple crumbles were made. Washing up was done, equipment labelled, rules decided upon and fun game played at end. Kids seemed to really enjoy themselves. So job done.

Or was it? Why was I up thinking about it in the middle of night? Yet again, I have deep appreciation for all those who run these kinds of projects. I was surprised by how the time goes by so fast. My fear is that the downside of the fun and energy created is that every session will pass as a blur of flour and sugar with no time to take anything in or get to know the kids a bit more.

However, maybe I shouldn't be too over analytical with just one session under my belt. As this is the first time I've ever done anything like this, I suspect the considerable feelings of frenzy are not helped by my brain working overtime...
