Presentation Day

Today was our school's annual Presentation Day. The boys featured a couple of times each, below is a photo of Oliver and the year 3 students performing a poem "The Eye of the Storm". They did a wonderful job, sometimes it's good to be a shorty and always be in the front row ... at least it's good for the photo opportunities! I apologise now for the quality of the photos, my little camera just doesn't cope very well at these events. Daniel and year 5 did a performance of the Waltz and Mambo, my camera didn't produce a good enough photo of that one. The photo below is Oliver receiving his Rotary Encouragement Award for his hard work he has done with the reading and maths support teacher this year. This is a special award and is only awarded to one student per grade per year.

Daniel has been voted one of the 2010 Prefects of our school. He had to do a speech in front of years 2-6 last week before they went away and voted. Each student and each teacher is entitled to one vote of equal value and out of the 19 boys who nominated, Daniel was voted in as one of the 4 prefects. He was thrilled when he was given the news yesterday. The photo below is him just after he was given his prefect badge from one of this year's outgoing prefects.

Wayne and I are very, very proud of our boys.

Cross Country

Daniel and Oliver competed in the school cross country again this year.

Daniel came 6th in his age group and went on the represent the school at zone. He came 55th out of 144 children in his age at zone. We were very proud.

OK, so it's been a while

Daniel, Oliver and I visited the Sydney Easter Show this year. A fun time was had by all, especially the ol' fav - the Dodgem Cars.

Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 started the same as all other years, on Christmas Eve we needed to leave food out for Santa and the reindeer.Christmas morning was an early start, 5.30am, and the older boys started with their stockings from Santa (no photo!). They were made to wait until Lewis woke up, 7.30am, before they were allowed to have their big items in their Santa sacks. They were very well looked after with Daniel receiving an iPod docking station and a WWII American army soldier called "Bryan Gilkinson". Oliver's main present was a Nintendo DS. Lewis received a Tonka truck which he loves.
