Well ... how proud are we. Each teacher picks 4 pupils to get an end of year award.

Jess was picked for Achievement in Reading and Writing.

And Joe was picked for Outstanding Achievement in Year 6 Mathematics.

The 3 of them got excellent school reports so we are all happy. Next years classes have been picked Jess will go up to the 'bossy teacher' and be a year 3. Sam and Joe will be year 7, Sam will stay with Mr Hall as he teaches year 6 & 7's and Joe will go up to Mrs Knell who teaches year 7 & 8. All of them get to be with their friends so they are happy about it. We are pleased as there will be a door between Sam and Joe for 6 hours per day, so lets hope this helps them to get on better.

After the presentations we all went up to school to have a picnic on the field. It was lovely G&t's all round and plenty of laughs. Sam and his friends were in the pool whilst the others were playing in the 'natives' - a big bush area at the bottom of the school grounds. Jess as usual managed to get covered in mud!

Didnt get them to bed till 9.30 so we have some grumpy children this morning.

Today was supposed to picnics on the beach but that seems to have been called off due to the rain.

Its like being in the tropics here at the moment as the humidty is really high. Not complaining though - far better than the snow.

love to all
