Farewell to primary school

Sammy has finished her last day at primary school with lots of tears and also lots of lovely memories. We've been involved with the school for the last 9 years and it's quite sad for us to be moving on as well. Isabella will be going to a new primary school that is closer to where we live now. The school that Sammy and Josh have been going to is only 6 minutes by car, so they haven't had to travel very far, but we actually have a choice of 6 state primary schools within 6 minutes of us, 3 Catholic primary schools and one private school. That's a lot of choice!! The school we've chosen for Isabella is about 2 minutes up the road from us and is lovely. So although we're leaving a school that we've had nothing but good things to say about, we feel the same about the new school that we'll be starting with Isabella next year.

A beautiful girl!

Sammy had a dinner dance at 'Sporties' to celebrate the end of year 6 with her peers. The parents were invited to stay for dinner with siblings downstairs in the club while the dance was on. At 8:30pm we were allowed to go up for the presentation part of the dinner. They started with a few speeches by the teachers and then we got to watch a beautifully edited movie of our babies from their last 7 years of school. It made for lots of 'oohs' and 'aahhh' when the photos and footage of them started in Kindergarten when they were only 4 and 5. So cute!!
