Today was the girls’ first day of school and they were very excited. Quinn was so excited that she wanted to walk to school even though it was raining. (It’s about a 15-20 minute walk).
Some of the classes at the primary school are combined year classes, so Quinn is in a Year 4/ Year 5 class and Bekah is in a Year 6 class.
Their school is situated with classrooms all around a central courtyard area.The kids were largely barefoot (by preference).
Quinn was greeted by a friend we made prior to school and took off happily. Bekah was quickly greeted by a girl she’d met at the open house who then introduced her to 4 other girls. As I turned to walk away I heard her say to Bekah, “you’re in good hands” and another girl say, “So you’re from America?”
The girls talked the whole walk home about how great their first day was.

ReplyDeleteWe are loving hearing about your adventures. It’s amazing how quickly you discover the little things that make a place home. It won’t be long until the new seems normal. Embrace it all. The kids will lead the way.
That is so good to hear that the school is so friendly. Is anyone missing homeschooling?
ReplyDeleteClark does for sure. The girls are just enjoying the social aspect so much
