School days

School!!

 

Amy had her first dress down day for National Tree Day on Friday - wear something green!!

 

 

Amy is still absolutely loving school, the second day at school she stopped us at the gates and said 'here is fine Mummy and Daddy' so she kissed us bye and then strutted confidently into the school grounds by herself, amazing for her second day at school, so proud of our little pumpkin XxX

 

 

Yesterday Colin and I went to school for a teaching session on Brain Function and Learning.  The school and the community network group do sessions on various topics throughout the year and have three sessions to cater for parents who work and don't work.  The sessions yesterday were 9-10.30am, 1.30-3pm, 7-8pm.  We went to the 9am session, it was really good and there were 3 Year 7's and 2 Year 4's that were our teachers for part of the session too!!  Gosh we learnt lots of things about the brain!!  We had to do some group work and then make the cross section of the brain from play doh!!  It was great fun, Amy's relief teacher was taking the session so she went into Amy's class after the session and told Amy that we had done a good play doh brain, Amy thought that was hilarious!!  Amy has done the same session so she was comparing our worksheets to what she had put down on her answers!!!  These were our efforts!!

 

Amy thought we had done a COOL job!!  And now she has volunteered us for making play doh for their session on Brain Functioning on Thursday! 

Amy's geography lessons this term are on natural disasters so Amy has been telling her teacher that Colin and I slept through a hurricane when we lived in Bermuda (this happened when my mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law and nephews were visiting too) and also about the earthquake in Tokyo (which I felt but Colin and Amy slept through) so it looks like we are going in to speak with the class on these topics!!  It will be a great way of meeting the class, children and also the helper parents too.  On a Thursday morning they have parent helpers in so we can mingle with a few of the parent helpers and get to know some more people.  We met a few parents after school today too, good meeting people and one of the boys seemingly came home from school on Thursday last week excited about a 'new girl' in class, sweet!
