Bunny has now left Primary school and in just a few weeks time, she will be starting secondary school. She was determined that she would be leaving Primary school on a high and leave us feeling mighty proud. So I wanted to share a little of her last few weeks of school. School Report and […]
Many of the local primary schools (both public and private) send their best cross country runners to compete in a cross country race, four times a year and the course alternates between three of the private schools.

Recently, we had parents evening at school and I was eager to see how my three girls were doing. Tiny and Fluffy are now in year one of primary school and last year were put on a MyPlan. MyPlan is basically an action plan for children who are a little bit behind their […]
