A New School Year

Well this year Amelia is in grade 8, Charlotte is in grade 7 and William is starting kinder! The girls started school first and both looked happy and bright as they waited for the bus. The bus arrived at 7.40 and the girls were on there way. Amelia is in Pink group again this year with Rose as her teacher again. Charlotte is in the same group as last year with a brand new teacher at the school Lois. Both girls seemed to have settled into the routines, which is great! Amelia has very busy days with cooking on Mondays, swimming Thursdays, community access on Friday and then all the other things in between. Charlotte has similar type things on her timetable.

Charlotte took so many great photos on her first day of school, I am sure she was super excited!

So a week after the girls started it was William's turn to start his first year of school! He was super excited as the week before we had been to visit his new classroom and meet his new teacher Mrs Walker, she is a lovely teacher and has been on maternity leave and has just come back after 3 years away, Amelia had her as a teacher when she was in grade 3/4 and loved her as well. She has so many great ideas, and this was visible when we walked into the classroom. The other great things about Kinder this year is that the kids have a brand new classroom which looks great! As a typical Mum I had the camera firmly planted at my eye to take lots of first day at school shots. Will loved the ball game where he tossed plastic balls into a basket under a octopus ring. He was also enjoying the train set and when I left he had written his name to say that he was at school for the day. I left a very confident young man who is so grown up and doesn't need his mum all the time any more!

Looking forward to a fun filled year with all the kids!
