My youngest has now moved on, and will join her sister at the High School after the summer break - something to get used to for all. I should add a sarcastic note referring to the lack of Summer weather. It has been, and is grey and wet, and seems to be remaining that way for the rest of the week.
We had a bit of planning for No1 D, as she went off to Paris with the her year group. Spending a week sight-seeing in and around the city.
One of the highlights of the end of term for an 11 year old is the end of year dance.
The Hummer fitted all the girls from the class and unfortunately, due to the awful sheet rain, no pics of them standing outside it. A sea of umbrellas helped them in and out, and all had a "ball".
This summer we will have the joys of the London Olympics, and I must admit, I have no interest. If the telly is on when I happen to be sitting, I may catch a bit, but I'm not really into it at all. However... when I heard that the Olympic torch was going to be near us the other week I took the children down to see it and - it was actually quite exciting...
So No2 D left P7 after various events, singing in front of all the parents - brilliantly - playing with the orchestra, reading out the farewell from her class - sobs from me - playing with the hockey team and handing in a thank you gift for the teacher. A lovely teacher who No1 D also had had and so, an apple for the teacher was taken in... c/o HERE
...and as the days relax I am enjoying a little stitching, working on things that have been sitting about for ages... like a quicky hexagon by machine...
