First Week Back At School!
The little ones went back to school on Monday and honestly its been such a busy week I haven’t had time to sit down and do this post before now. But now the week is over and the kids are in bed I have some time.
I always get out of sync during the holidays and when school starts back again its like a shock to the system. I was expecting a real struggle on Monday morning but I was pleasantly surprised when three of my four school age kids were cooperative. Even Milena didn’t need as much persuading to get out of bed as usual. And amazingly we were all ready to leave at ten past 8! This meant we could have a relaxing, brisk walk up to school. And when we got there the three eldest called out a goodbye as they shot off to join their friends. Harley did have a bit of a sulk at the door of his nursery classroom and said he wanted to stay with me. But he did eventually go off to play and when I picked him up his teachers said he was fine once I was gone.
Milena has started year 5, which means she has just two years of primary school left before she’s off to high school. Evelyn and JJ are in year 4 and Harley is nursery. He goes 5 mornings a week now, which is good for him because he likes playing and learning. When he turns four he can either start full time school, which is reception in the UK, in January, which is the springterm. But we don’t know if we’ll do that or wait until the summer term.
After the first week back at school we’re all exhausted and enjoying a relaxing weekend before school starts again on monday.
