🧩 Jigsaw Was EVERYTHING

Every school had that one session that wasn’t really a lesson at all. For us, it was called Jigsaw — and it was the absolute highlight of the week.

Jigsaw was split into four groups: singing, dancing, drums, and guitar. Basically, school told us: “Go be in a band for an hour. We’ll allow it.”

I chose singing (obviously). Why would I pass up the chance to stand in a semi-circle with my mates, belting slightly off-key pop songs like we were auditioning for Pop Idol?

Meanwhile, the dancers were in the hall learning routines, the drummers were shaking the windows in the music room, and the guitarists… well, I think they were just figuring out Smoke on the Water very slowly.

At the end of term, we’d all come together for a big Jigsaw performance. The energy was chaotic. The talent? Questionable. But in that moment, we were all stars.
