School pictures!

We are half way through the school year, and it is time for school pictures! Below are the girls, their class and some fun facts about how they are doing!

Mary-Adelle Swinton (Kindergarten)

Mary is in Mrs. Stephensons class, and her best friend is Georgie. Georgie is from Fiji and she is two girls to the left (girl with bangs). Mary is fantastic at reading and pretty average with math. She is again the tallest girl in her class and also one of the oldest. The cut off date is July and Mary is a September birthday. Mary still loves her dad (the most) but has warmed up to her mom a little bit more this year than previously!

Olivia Sue Swinton (Second grade)

Olivia is in Ms. Rigneys class. There were two year two classes this year and she was put in the one with the girls; the other one is all boys. Total there are 40 boys in year 2 and 11 girls at the infants school (Kindy--year 2)...which makes for a lot of drama regarding who likes who, love notes, and apparently engagement rings. Olivia had a boy bring her a ring at school. His mum said he spent his own money on it. Olivia was thrilled and immediately asked him, "is this a wedding ring- or an engagement ring?" He said...."NOT wedding- so I guess engagement!" I asked Olivia what an engagement ring was and she said "a best friends ring- Duh!" The kid had his bases covered because he handed another girl a ring 5 minutes later (Olivia's best friend)....they have agreed to share him which I find odd with 40 boys to pick from.

Aside from recess drama, Olivia does well in school. Highest reading group and first one to learn her multiplication tables. (0, 1,2, 5, & 10's). Still not sure which school to send her too for next year! Still doing heaps of school orientations, wait lists and school tours! She is still small but working hard to find answers to her failure to thrive!
