So glad to see everyone is finding a bit of routine, the teachers warned all the prep parents that attitudes and tired kiddies can be the norm so as I sure we were all well prepared.

On the food front I've found DD has settled on her eating a bit at school too, we had a discussion about it yesterday though so hopefully she is back to eating her full lunch box in no time.

DD had pretty much a week off school because of the fires here but the school has been amazing, they organised BBQ's and had interstate firies come in over two days and do things with the kids.
They have offered support if we need it and reassured the kids that everything is ok.

She is loving school and hasn't been too tired or cranky, she does get a bit of an attitude say one night a week and then she's back to her bubbly self.
She enjoys playing with the older kids at school and they all race out to greet her and fight over who saw her first, it's vey cute and I am really pleased with choosing to send her to this tiny little school now, especially after the last couple of weeks, the community spirit is AMAZING there.

Reading is going really well, she has already gone up a reader level (despite a week off) and her teacher thinks she is going to go really well with the levels.
They have also started Study Ladder at school and she can use it at home, she is bored with the levels she is on now but her teacher has said she will watch her in class over the next week or two and then if she feels she will cope she will put her up to the higher level, she wanted to join in and do the grade 1/2 work but it's sequential so she has to do all the base work first... cheeky girl.

She is loving homework and does it the minute she walks in the door and we are going to be making some new sight word flash cards for her to use in correspondence with books she's reading.
She stood up at assembly a couple of weeks back and showed some of her work to the whole school which she was quite excited about.

In all I am very happy with how she is going... she's loving it and that's all I can ask for.
