Books...and not judging by the covers!

OK, I'm allowing myself a little display of pride here (hopefully not short lived)... the girls have both finished school now and have got into the classes that we wanted. Phoebe, having been upgraded to to year one from prep this year, turned in a report that was up at the upper end of year one results, so she's done really well and will start year two in DGB which is the class that Tild has just left. DGB, runs from year two to year three, so she'll be in it for two years. This is absolutely fantastic as far as we're concerned because DGB (Mrs's Day, George and Bird) are a team of three teachers that are so in tune with each other that the classes go like a polished performance, all the kids seem to know the part that they are playing and there's always lots of smiles and laughter. Phoebe's transition into that class has been anticipated - and both they and Daile and I have requested that she be admitted to that class rather than some random other one. She does however have a very hard act to follow!

Matilda, has left a real and apparently very welcome mark on that class, is well liked by all the kids, who flock around us as parents when we pitch up. All the other parents comment on how their kids want to be like her, and how they all eat fruit and vegetables and try to read all the time like Matilda does. (Always got her nose in a book). Matilda bakes cookies for class and they're bloody good too, all the Mums are looking at us like we're parenting GODS!

She got a another stellar report, and they gave her this last Friday: (Click on it to enlarge)



Funny that we can't seem to get her to do all that at home innit!
