Super duper
This is what you face looks like when you realise you’ve put your baby brother’s T-shirt on
The two super-dupers take to the shopping trolley
Poor Grace has some sort of blocked saliva gland, so she is looking a bit lumpy and feeling a bit sensitive. We though it might be mumps, but the doctor seems happy that it isn’t.
The last market day
Last day of school for the year….with both Eli and Grace finishing the first year of their cycle’s. Grace has thrived this year, and Eli has been loving school. Last day of the term means another market day, with Grace selling gingerbread men and instant snow (just add water!)
It was a lovely market at the school this time, and I really enjoyed having some time to connect with some of the amazing people who are a part of our school.
Gingerbread decorating
Andrea & Chloe – two of the specials who have put their heart into the lower elementary class this year (Gawa is the third special)
Sam & Graeme – two whacky and lovely people
Micro
Last year our fish spawned and a few months later we realised there was an extra little koi who somehow managed to survive. Micro has been hiding in the lilies and growing, and we realised that the little one pops out to grab some food at feeding time….
Giraffes, goats and a long snake
We joined Jared for his birthday party at The Giraffe House today, and had loads of fun looking at the animals (which Adam absolutely loved), feeding animals, playing with friends and taking part in the fun reptile show.
Giraffe selfie!
The little guy couldn’t get enough of the goats and was loving feeding them.
The long snake and the case of the venomous hat: poor Janine was sitting in front of us, doing her best to keep herself calm while Chelsea held the Burmese python. While she was taking a photo Adam kicked his hat onto her back, and that was just too big a surprise…
Weekend things
Practising some drawing with the chalk…which he actually prefers to put in his mouth
Checking that everything is still good with the pool pump
Undeniable happiness
You just can’t get away from this little guys happiness and joy for life, and he pulls everyone into it
The character dance
I’ve really enjoyed watching Grace’s ballet demos this year. I’ve really felt like she has progressed so much each term, and it felt like this last term she made a significant jump, with better rhythm and focus. I wonder if the modern dancing she has been doing has helped her to have a better feel for the music. Not too sure, but I loved watching her today.
