This term the first graders created their own picnic baskets. On the second to last day of school all the kids walked to the park and met their families for a picnic. The picnic baskets were hilarious, and everyone was encouraged to bring a teddy bear to share their lunch with. Stan surprised Olivia and showed up early from Melbourne, in addition he had some Krispy Kreme doughnut with him!!
The weather was beautiful and the kids played soccer, footy, jump-rope etc.... It was great and took my mind back to my childhood school days! School really is FUN.

Olivia playing with the parachute! I loved the parachute!
On the last day of school there is something called "mufti day" It means you pay $1.00 and you get to wear something other than your school uniform. So far there has been PJ day, a casual clothes, and this term it was Koala day! Apparently the last day of school also landed on Koala awareness day since it is endangered species and so the kids all dressed up like Koalas. In addition, they were told to bring in their stuffed koala bears. I was thinking, I hope everyone has one, we just happened to have ONE, but it is pretty normal out here. Right up there with a Teddy Bear in America
