First Day of Year 3 and Year 1, 2021

On Friday 29th Jan, Eliza and Daniel were both up, dressed and ready for their first day back at school. There were some nerves about who would be teaching them, what classroom would they be in, would they be in a class with their friends, what would this year look like. But they were also quite excited - for Eliza to see her friends and be back at school, for Daniel to see his friends and play with them.

They are looking so grown up! It's pretty crazy that Daniel is now in Primary, starting Year 3. I see year 3 as not being babies anymore, but instead being quite grown up and being more responsible.

And when kids start Year 1, they always look so much more grown up than when they started Kindy, and Eliza was no different.

They really do like each other these 2. 

I love this photo

And Alexander couldn't miss out on being in the photos too.

Can I have a nice photo? This is what I got

Followed of course by laughter

But we got there with this nice photo

Which ended with crazy faces

It was a crazy day with the weather so we headed to school with umbrellas up. The kids were excited because Daddy could walk with us too.

I do love seeing how they fill in their information boards at the start of the year.

Alexander and I filled our day with playing games including Greed. It was nice to just have the one kid at home again, although he was also missing his play mates. Mummy isn't as fun because she still has to do adult jobs too.

Both kids came home very happy with their classes (Daniel is in a class with Lachie and Eliza is in a class with Clara, Ethan and Hugo). They were both very happy with their teachers. Eliza has Mrs Barwell (who I hadn't really heard about) and Daniel has Mrs Fearnside again which I couldn't be happier about! Daniel also came home from school with homework - he needed to colour in the covers of his books. There were a lot and I was proud of him for how much he did! Then it became my homework because for the first time since he started school, I had to contact each of his books. But I survived and was pretty happy with my achievements with them. Not many bubbles, and the skill of using the ruler to help keep the contact smooth. Thank goodness for YouTube videos that teach you the tricks of the trade.
