LOL at A thinking it was boys only!
The whole kindy thing confuses me - is it different in all states? Here it is not part of the school system ie not required, but it is govt funded. The first 20 hours at any childcare or kindy are free, then there is a fee. They have just made massive early childhood cuts so now there is a 'donation' per week that you have to pay or you can't go. It is from 3 years until 5 years. You can choose how many days they do. Last term W did two days, this year it is 3 days. They can run just a morning session, morning and afternoon sessions, or all day. Our kindy is about to move to full day licence so it will be as long as school day, but I will still finish W at 1pm because he is just shattered by evening and I think a full day is too long for him. And he seems so little to be away for the whole day.
Trill, how are your kids going with the loss of Marvin? W still randomly talks about it, like a couple of days ago he said "I was the saddest when we put her into that hole in the ground", just out of the blue so he must thinking about her. Your kids are probably a bit more used to death with the farm though.
I got my second assignment back for summer school and I have 35% out of possible 40% for the internal part of my paper. So as long as I pass the exam the minimum mark I can get is a B (unless there is scaling...)

Hey girls
Poor Noah missed his 1st day at kinder today - he has hurt his leg and cant walk... dh is home with him... we had some blood tests as they think it may be an infection (septic something) that is quite severe. apparently he is doing a lot better now than this morning... anyway - also a heads up i may not come tomorrow if he is still not walking well and miserable.... will update in the morning or PM ginger and let you know.. if you dont hear from me i will be there....will be so annoyed if i miss it - i took the day off especially!

Oh no MP!! What did he do to it? I hope it isn't sore for much longer.
Arte, it does vary from state to state which is crap because there is no consistency for education. They are introducing a National curriculum that means all students will be taught the same thing but I don't think that changes the point at which kids enter 'big school' In NSW they do 2 years of preschool (or 3 if they are young) and that is not affiliated with school at all and isn't Govt funded. When they enter school, they start in Kindergarten for 5 days a week at regular school hours etc.
The kids are OK about Marvin. They miss her, but they didn't know what was going on till it was all over and done with. I guess they are a bit more used to death because of the farm, but we'd been preparing them that she would die soon anyway so it wasn't unexpected for them. A talks about her a lot though, just general stuff though.
