Well, final day of Term 2. How fast has this term flown? Although DD is really feeling the tiredness I think and is really looking forward to a bit of rest over the holidays. As are we all She gets teary really easily (last night's tears were because I closed the door before she'd said goodnight???!!?) and is spending much more time in quiet play than chasing her brothers around. The rest will do her well.

Report was excellent - academically she sounds just like your DD1 ZF, slightly above the "normal" but pretty much exactly where she needs to be at this point in Prep. The comments on her attitude and behaviours were wonderful. She is polite, kind and caring, according to the report Just kidding. We see that, we just get the other side of it - the bossy big sister, 5 going on 15 and learning her place in the world.

Things she had to work on were listening to instructions first time (LOL ) and some academic things - she's writing some numbers backwards, needs to work on counting in tens, counting backwards, start spelling words.

We also had a "three way" conversation, which was a chance for her to show off her portfolio of work and talk about how she is finding school. NOT a parent-teacher conference. 15 mins only. So I booked a proper conference with the teacher, which lasted almost an hour

Anway I'm glad I did - reaffirmed what I'd read in the report, plus the teacher got to tell us all about how lovely DD is. The first to comfort someome who is hurt or upset. Kind, caring with impeccable manners. Really good to hear.

We don't have much planned for the hols. School holiday program at our church Wed, Thu, Fri, then we might go to our beachhouse for a long weekend, that's about it. I really want her to have a break and a relax.
