Orientation Day

One of the many November things we were counting sleeps until, was school orientation.

TODAY was school orientation day morning. Little Miss Boo was off exploring the class room by the time the orientation talk began, and as soon as the Prime Minister Principal said they could go out to the playground she was off like a rocket!

Boo’s school is single stream. In other words, there is one class of each year group, and this class will go all the way through primary school together as one class.

Sounds lovely, huh? However, there are only seven girls in the class (they make up less than a third). Today in the playground the pecking order was forming. There was hissing and snarling from two little girls.

I received comments from several parents on how well she handled herself
