Month: July 2018

We  had a great few days in Greytown in the Wairarapa visiting gorgeous friends who have just got back from 18 months living in France.  So inspiring.  They have boys the same age as Georgia and Olivia and hearing about their adventures exploring Europe as a family and going to an international school was incredible.  It is nice to have them back though!  Even their dog Coco went!!!

There were lots of wood fire pizzas, bread making and porridge making in the outdoor oven.

Then we caught up with other fabulous friends in Wellington.  Georgia is a keen photographer so most photos are of her attached to one.  We use to live in Karaka Bay so always spend lots of time around there.  It is without doubt our favourite place in the world. 

We got introduced to the board game Risk and we are now addicted.  Even booked in an afternoon competition with some of our Auckland friends.

…and we visited our favourite book shop in Wellington and I got some new supplies for little Room 5.  Gave the girls a little tour of parliament too to get them inspired for their history and politic subjects at school.  We are home now which is great.  The girls will enjoy a few days in Noosa next week with their Dad, (lucky things).  How are your holidays going?

 

I hope you all enjoy a well deserved holiday!  Two weeks off making school lunches, getting up early, doing homework and rush, rush, rushing.  If you would like to share any holiday pictures on the blog, we would love to see, (just email them to me).  The girls and I are going to Greytown and Wellington next week to catch up with friends.  We use to live in Wellington and we have still got lots of friends there.  Happy holidays everyone!

We had a few short games out on the field.  We played Rob The Nest, Captain’s Coming and Jack’n’the’Box Jumping.

Poor Scarlett has been unwell this week so Paddington Bear had an extended stay at her home.  Welcome back to both of you!!  I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Scarlett’s Mum Cedar who spends every morning putting away our reading books in the blue bucket.  As we read every day it means close to 100 books every week! Thank you so much Cedar that is such a huge help to me and saves me so much time.  Really really appreciated!

Well done Isabella!  You have done so well using Reading Eggs at home!!!!!!  Thank you for sharing your certificates with us.  We are so proud of you!

Congratulations to Shanaya and June who got school certificates today.

Sebastian got a Principal Certificate today for being amazing in the playground.  Sebastian has a really diplomatic way of supporting other children when they need help resolving problems.  He has great people skills and has a lovely natural ability to bring people together.  So so proud of you Sebastian. You are our Room 5 Diplomat.
