…We practiced our Assembly which is on June 20th.
In Art, you know proverbs, like “Look before you leap”, well, we had to draw pictures to go with them.
Helped paint a picture of three hags…
I’m at a loss to think of any proverb that revolves around “three hags”. Admittedly I may have misread my own writing… but then a proverb involving “three hogs” seems even less feasible.
I like, however, the way I felt the need to explain to myself just what a proverb is, despite already knowing and despite having spent the whole afternoon visualing them in paint.
And look: just two weeks to go until the assembly. Frustratingly, I didn’t give any clue as to how the puppetry and piano-playing were shaping up. But you’d have thought that, after all these weeks, there was no need for any further rehearsal*.
*I’ve just looked ahead in the diary: oh yes there was.

Maybe “three bags” as in “three bags full”. Okay, it’s not from a proverb, it’s from a nursery rhyme – but no art teacher would let themselves be hamstrung by such a detail.
Unless it’s a reference to the Scottish play.
I don’t think it was Macbeth. The first I knew of that play was when I had to read it at secondary school. On reflection perhaps it was “three hogs” and it was actually a reference to the three little pigs. Though why would I call them hogs and not pigs?
