We’re heading into the last week of term, but there’s still a lot of activity. Reports coming out with the challenges of identifying the relative strengths and weaknesses of each child, and the upcoming parent-teacher meetings.
More musical performances are drawing near, and Puff’s music-related jumper (and Mum’s) arrived as an urgent delivery, to make sure it arrived before the end of term.
Dad has been balancing some late nights with some early morning drop-offs and general help with the school run.
Puff has many musical commitments at the moment; a district music performance on saxophone where they won gold!
On the weekend we had a picnic at a friend’s house.
And at swimming this week, it was safety week, where the kids have to swim wearing clothes (and even shoes). They were struggling a little to fit into their old shoes to go into the pool (is it worth wrecking the new shoes for half an hour in the water?) but once they’re in, they go okay.
To make up for working over the weekend, to help wrap up some paperwork, and to see the family a little, Dad did the school pick-up today. The kids were glad to come with Dad, went to the library with him, and even enjoyed the dinner he cooked.
By the next post, we’ll be in school holidays, where the kids are looking for a good rest, and some more learning opportunities.
