William at School Term 1 2013

William has had a fantastic 1st term of primary school.  He received 'Star of the Day' twice and 'Student of the Week' for which he was presented with a certificate at School Assembly by the Principal, Mr Bransgrove.

The School Sports picnic was held on a balmy evening with the "school houses" competing for points. William is in "Murray" and has his green t-shirt. Each of the school houses are named after rivers in Victoria.

An excursion to the beach to study 'Living' and Non-Living" things for Science was a great day and I tagged alone on the bus to help out.

His class presented the parents with a 'Learning Celebration" where they all took turns to present something they have learn't.

He is the little one on end! Looking petrified

'Student of the Week" for his listening skills - he didn't learn those from his Dad!!

William's First Day at School

William's first day at school today went really well, beside him waking up at 5am! Back in bed he slept until 6am, then he was up very excited! He skyped with Paul whose in Sydney for a conference and then we were off.  He is an old hand at posing for the hundreds of photo's I took this morning and a few after school.  He asked if I would stay and play for a bit and would I be there to pick him up after school. Once we got there he was off with his friends onto the playground.  I settled him into his classroom, I said I was going and he offered his cheek - saying Bye Mum.

He had a good day, didn't eat much, so its an early dinner and I'm sure he will fall asleep early, all to do it again tomorrow and for the next 12 years!!!!!

It was difficult to get three boys to sit still for a photo!

All good, mum. This is his latest thing - thumps up!!

 

Come on Thomas, let's go

Waiting impatiently for this turn

Coming out of the classroom, looking for me. He dumped his bag and ran off to the playground
